Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
Bad man Orban is looking kind of orange these days.
The only reason Hungary was in the EU in the first place was to get free money from them.
Now, they just need to figure out how to get out of the EU.
The European Union executive recommended on Sunday suspending some 7.5 billion euros in funding for Hungary over corruption, the first such case in the 27-nation bloc under a new sanction meant to better protect the rule of law.
The EU introduced the new financial sanction two years ago precisely in response to what it says amounts to the undermining of democracy in Poland and Hungary, where Prime Minister Viktor Orban subdued courts, media, NGOs and academia, as well as restricting the rights of migrants, gays and women during more than a decade in power.
“It’s about breaches of the rule of law compromising the use and management of EU funds,” said EU Budget Commissioner Johannes Hahn. “We cannot conclude that the EU budget is sufficiently protected.”
He highlighted systemic irregularities in Hungary’s public procurement laws, insufficient safeguards against conflicts of interest, weaknesses in effective prosecution and shortcomings in other anti-graft measures.
Hahn said the Commission was recommending the suspension of about a third of cohesion funds envisaged for Hungary from the bloc’s shared budget for 2021-27 worth a total of 1.1 trillion euros.
The 7.5 billion euros in question amounts to 5% of the country’s estimated 2022 GDP. EU countries now have up to three months to decide on the proposal.
Hahn said Hungary’s latest promise to address EU criticisms was a significant step in the right direction but must still be translated into new laws and practical actions before the bloc would be reassured.
Orban’s government proposed creating a new anti-graft agency in recent weeks as Budapest came under pressure to secure money for the ailing economy and forint, the worst-performing currency in the EU’s east.
Orban, who calls himself a “freedom fighter” against the world view of the liberal West, denies that Hungary – an ex-communist country of some 10 million people – is any more corrupt than others in the EU.
The Commission is already blocking some 6 billion euros in funds envisaged for Hungary in a separate COVID economic recovery stimulus over the same corruption concerns.
Orban holding his ground is really impressive, actually.
Here’s the picture of the hearing where Hungary was sentenced to doom:
What a bunch of assholes.

The EU Commission proposes – for the 1st time in its history – to suspend the disbursement of 65% of EU funds due to #Hungary in effort to protect #ruleoflaw (loopholes remain)
Now EU-26 must approve it at QMV (unlike under Art 7 #Poland can’t veto it) pic.twitter.com/KpQYFQ2hXa

I thought Hungary was a member of EU, not a beggar outside your door. Are they supposed to kneel down for the aid?

The rule of law have been deeply attacked several times in many western EU countries during covid and yet their funds weren’t suspended. The EU arbitrarily choose which attacks against the rule of law they punish. This kind of inconsistencies will be the downfall of the EU

this people instead of looking how EU is imploding their lives, their wealth, their “superior” way of living, but it seems its all good and Hungary is the bad guy, so it means Europeans accept for themselves poverty and misery. Europeans will reap what they sow.
