At the EU summit this week, an agreement was finally reached by the German government with the Hungarian and Polish governments concerning the next EU budget, as well as the recovery package.
Viktor Orbán and Mateusz Morawiecki agreed not to veto the budget, and under the compromise, the rule of law mechanism will only be triggered if the actions of a Member State harm the financial interests of the European Union.
Viktor Orbán commented on the agreement shortly after the decision on his official Facebook page, saying: “Common sense won. We protected Hungarians’ money.”
