Agreement entitling Hungary to get billions of EURO close?
Change language:
An agreement on Hungary’s Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) funding now depends only on the European Commission, as the government has accepted the body’s stand on disputed issues, Gergely Gulyás, the head of the Prime Minister’s Office, said on public radio on Sunday.
In a letter sent to the EU’s executive body, Gulyás said the government accepted the EC’s position in all four areas in which it expected progress, “regardless of whether we agreed with the suggestions or not”. He added that the significance of the issues in question are “much smaller” than the matter of Hungary getting the funding to which it is entitled.
“As we’ve accepted the Commission’s position on all of the issues over which there were differences so far, we think the only thing that remains to be discussed is the technical close, after which an agreement can be signed,” he said.
Gulyás said the Hungarian left wing and their allies in Western Europe don’t want to see Hungary reach an agreement on the funding with the EC. He added that they are lobbying for teachers not to get pay rises as EU funding can provide the resources for higher salaries in the education sector. Pay rises in the healthcare sector would also be covered by the RRF funding, he added. He called the left wing’s behaviour “irresponsible” and urged left wing MEPs “who make five million forints a month not to lobby to keep teachers and doctors in Hungary from earning more”.
“Show us the MONEY “.
Not the Cheque “supposed” coming from the European Union – but if and when it arrives, into the hands of the present Hungarian Government – “Show us the MONEY”.
