EU freezes subsidies from Hungary again | News in brief

The European Union has started arrangements for suspending aid money to be paid to Hungary. According to the news agency AP, subsidies for hundreds of millions of euros are being frozen.

The EU fined Hungary 200 million euros for violating the alliance’s agreements on asylum seekers. However, Hungary has refused to pay the fines.

According to the Court of Justice of the European Union, Hungary’s actions violate EU laws in an unprecedented and serious way.

EU subsidies to Hungary have been frozen before. However, Hungary has managed to extort frozen funds from the EU by slowing down the union’s joint decision-making.
