The European Commission has decided to release only a part of the frozen funds for Hungary, with the approved amount being 163.5 million euros out of the requested 545 million. The reason for the partial rejection is the failure to comply with conditions related to academic freedom and minority rights. Tensions between Brussels and Budapest are intensifying, in the context of actions by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who threatens vetoes on important EU initiatives. The Commission remains firm in maintaining the blockage on the majority of the funds, wanting to ensure compliance with European standards.
