Hungary's future prime minister is negotiating with the European Commission to release funds
Hungary’s prime minister-designate, Péter Magyar, held talks in Brussels with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen regarding Budapest’s access to frozen EU funds.
Mátyás announced this on Facebook.
According to him, the talks were “constructive and fruitful.” The parties agreed to hold another meeting in late May, after he officially takes office as prime minister.
Mátyás stated that he intends to conclude a political agreement with the European Commission that will allow Hungary to receive funding from EU funds as soon as possible.
This involves over 35 billion euros that Brussels had previously frozen due to concerns about corruption and the state of the rule of law in the country.
The politician assured that these funds could arrive in the near future and that the EU is not making demands that would conflict with Hungary’s interests.
Hungary’s nearly former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced his resignation from his parliamentary seat. However, he expressed his willingness to continue leading the Fidesz party if the party congress supports his candidacy.
Recall that the Hungarian government has accused the social media platform Facebook of political bias against Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
Despite Orbán’s ban, Ukraine will receive 90 billion: IPA President Galina Heylo on the EU’s plans to finance the country.
