Hungary Permanently Loses 1 Billion Euros in EU Funding

Why is Hungary even staying in the EU?

What do they gain from this?

(The answer is that even with these cuts, they’re still getting a shit ton of free money.)

Deutsche Welle:

Hungary has lost its right to a billion euros of funding after Budapest failed to tackle corruption, according to the EU authorities in Brussels. This is the first time in history that Brussels has enforced such a move.

The European Commission on Wednesday said Hungary had lost its entitlement to European Union aid worth some €1 billion ($1.03 billion) due to rule of law breaches.

Previously, the EU pressured the country to change its laws in order to tackle conflicts of interest and corruption.

Budapest had been told it must make reforms by the end of 2024 or they would expire.

In 2022, the EU started “conditionality” proceedings against Hungary, seeking to block payments because of alleged infringements of public procurement rules. It said there was a lack of control and transparency.

Hungary was found to have disregarded EU standards and fundamental values and told to implement sufficient reforms. Hungary then agreed to undertake reforms which allowed some funds to be unblocked, but a €19 billion ($20 billion) sum remained frozen.

The EU’s conditionality regulation stated that — without the suspension being lifted — “the first tranche of suspended commitments” amounting to €1 billion would expire at the end of 2024.

In a report published in July, the European Commission concluded that Hungary did not meet EU democratic standards. Most notable in its failings were said to be corruption, political financing, conflicts of interest and media independence.

The “democracy” scheme to absorb formerly communist Eastern European states was entirely based on bribery. That was the whole scheme: they bribed all of these countries, gave out cash in exchange for these countries joining “liberal democracy.”

Most of the leaders who went along with this were just cartoonishly corrupt (look at Romania).

As US-dominated Western Europe continues to push homosexuality, child homosexuality, vagina overlordism, and mass immigration onto these countries, the populations are beginning to wonder if the bribe money is actually worth it.

They’re still trying to fine Hungary huge amounts for not allowing invaders in
