Next week, the European Commission must approve Hungary’s allocation of funds equal to a tenth of the country’s estimated GDP in 2022.

The European Parliament has warned the European Commission against unblocking billions of euros for Hungary, saying Prime Minister Viktor Orban has violated democratic norms. About this on Monday, November 21, Reuters wrote.

The European Commission is expected next week to approve up to a tenth of the country’s estimated 2022 GDP for Hungary after Budapest took steps to fight corruption and guarantee an independent judiciary.

MPs representing the Socialist and Democrat caucus in the European Parliament, as well as representatives of the liberal Renew and the Greens, said that the latest changes made by the Orbán government are not enough to ensure a healthy democracy in Hungary .

“The Hungarian government does not respect the rule of law. The right decision is to approve the freeze,” said Eider Gardiazabal Rubial, a Social Democrat from Spain.

And Sophia in’t Weld, a Dutch liberal, said Orban was blackmailing the EU by blocking common decisions that require unanimity, from the lowest global corporate tax to €18 billion in planned support for in Ukraine to help it fight Russia.

“Money must be frozen once and for all, that’s the only language Orban understands,” said Daniel Freund, a German Green and former Transparency International activist.

Earlier, Orban said that Hungary would not support the EU’s plan to provide Ukraine with macro-financial assistance for 2023.

A rally was held in Budapest against the media controlled by Viktor Orban’s government and against Hungarian policy, which continues to support the Russian Federation in the war in Ukraine.
