EU Lawmakers Warn Against “Blank Check” for Hungary Following Election
Left-wing lawmakers stated on Tuesday that the election of Péter Magyar is not enough on its own to unlock the €18 billion currently withheld by the EU.

Left-wing lawmakers stated on Tuesday that the election of Péter Magyar is not enough on its own to unlock the €18 billion currently withheld by the EU.

“The new government will take key political decisions on how to unlock and invest these funds,” the PM-elect said.

Less than 24 hours after the Hungarian election, the President of the European Commission called for using the “momentum” to eliminate the ability of member states to veto any decision they do not consider fair.

It would be a fool’s errand for Hungary to go to Brussels and submit to policies that are directly harmful to Hungary in exchange for an unfreezing of EU funding.

Brussels is choosing to punish rather than listen to those insisting on a different approach.

This is the newest effort by the European Commission to “impose foreign political control over Hungary.”
