Incoming Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar will meet European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels on Wednesday to address the release of billions in EU funds.
Magyar, who won a landslide victory over Viktor Orban on April 12, has prioritized regaining access to these funds as a cornerstone of his economic agenda.
The funds were previously frozen due to concerns over Hungary’s adherence to rule-of-law standards under Orban, and their release could significantly impact Hungary’s economic outlook.
What will it take for Brussels to finally trust Budapest with €32 billion in frozen funds?
Can Magyar pivot Hungary toward the EU while still depending on Russian energy?
How will a top EU court's recent ruling against Hungary test the new government's promises?
Will Peter Magyar use his supermajority to restore democracy or simply build his own system?
With Orbán's allies entrenched, can Hungary's new leader truly dismantle the 'illiberal state'?
