EU Parliament Considers Legal Action Over Release of Funds to Hungary
TL;DR Summary
Members of the European Parliament have threatened legal action against the European Commission if further frozen funds are released to Hungary, following the release of €10.2 billion in cohesion funds. The Parliament criticized the Commission's decision and raised the possibility of suing if more funds are unblocked, citing concerns about Hungary's judicial reforms and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's actions. The resolution also condemned Orbán's veto of a special fund for Ukraine and urged the Council to take action to protect EU values, although it stopped short of calling for the suspension of Hungary's voting rights.
