Extraordinary government info about the EU’s latest decisions on the frozen EU funds
Change language:
Tibor Navracsics, the minister of regional development, has welcomed the European Commission’s support for the adoption of Hungary’s plan for accessing EU recovery funding as “significant progress”.
The commission’s decision did not come as a surprise to the Hungarian government, Navracsics told a regular government press briefing on Wednesday, adding that today’s decision was in line with what the EC had communicated in September. The minister pointed out that the commission had praised the Hungarian recovery plan as being “one of the best”.
Meanwhile, Navracsics said the commission’s decision to uphold its recommendation to freeze funding for three operative programmes was not a new development. He said this was due to the fact that the government’s “schedule of passing legislation and setting up institutions” included certain deadlines “that we have yet to reach”.
Navracsics said he was hopeful that Hungary would fulfill the outstanding commitments as precisely as it had fulfilled all the others. He said he hoped Hungary would be able to convince the commission and the European Council next year that the suspension of the funds did not have to be upheld and that the country could gain access to 100 percent of the funds in every operative programme.
It is time for Hungary to leave the EU AND declare neutrality. Hungary pays a membership fee to the EU, stop payment. Those people who keep saying that Hungary receives money from the EU is a joke. To date, only Hungary paid money to the EU.
It is also time to recall Hungarian Ambassadors from Sweden, Belgium, Holland and Luxemburg. It is useless to pretend friendship with Hungary’s enemies.
Hungary should tell the EU, it cannot afford to have any more refugees from Ukraine. The costs are prohibitive. All countries helping Ukrainian refugees just help to extend the war.
It is time for Hungary to act only for the interest of the country.
