In June 2024, the European Court of Justice imposed a fine of 200 million euros (80 billion HUF) and accuses Hungary of ignoring the rules of the European Union regularly and that the Hungarian government has committed a violation without a precedent. Until the government pays the punishment, a daily penalty of one million euros (or 400 million dollars) is imposed daily.
According to the ruling, the country did not guarantee the enforcement of asylum seekers and illegally prohibiting refugee requests. According to the government, however, the ruling is politically driven and therefore does not pay, it is the case. However, according to the rulings, the Hungarian government does not adhere to its acceptance, because it defends itself, but it only has to make sure that asylum procedures can start with Hungary as well. It can be rejected later.
Since the government has not paid the fine yet, it will accumulate, and the European Commission can pay the amount, which can be deducted from any financing of the European Union. Since it was not known before what was drawn, so then file Request information about the matter with a request to obtain data with a public interest. This turns out to be so far
A total of 293 million euros (120 billion Huf) was deducted from the Coame Fund 2021-2027.
They also added that the interests of the late benefits, which represented 325 million euros (131.5 billion forns), were canceled, with the interest of 11.5 percent.
Daily penalties currently exceed more than 250 million euros (100 billion forts), which are likely to be deducted from the source of cohesion. According to VikTor Orbán, the government will not abandon immigration, and in his opinion, this is still less than money than what is spent on immigrants if they are allowed to enter the country.
New sums may be lost
According to the portal, if the discussions are not settled in 2025, it will become another 403 million dollars (161.6 billion dollars), which is inevitable, which means that this means that.
By the end of 2025, the Hungarians will lose 1.04 billion euros (417 billion HUF) due to the N+2 base.
In addition, it is not remembered that the Hungarian state has not been able to reach an agreement with the committee since 2022 in the rule of law.
Rule n+2
N+ is associated with the annual funding rules for the distribution of funds from the cohesion political money. If the funding concerned on that date is not spent, the committee may “solve” future budget credits. By the end of the third year (N+3) of obligations in 2021-2026, funding is withdrawn automatically if the financing is not spent or provided. The period is shortened to N+2 for 2027 obligations.
In this context, the Hungarian Helsinki Committee stated in early December: “The government still does not meet an important part of the conditions for accessing European Union funds. It has not taken appropriate steps to deal fully with the rule of law and human rights set by the European Commission and member states.”
27 until it is called. From “Supermérékkő” 10 has not yet been fulfilled. Large measures are needed as soon as possible for the country and its citizens to reach the funds of the European Union
– They wrote.
Amnesty International Hungary, K-Monitor, Hungarian Helsinki Committee, Hungary's Liberties and Transparency Association, has prepared a comprehensive evaluation of government measures so far. The result of this investigation was that 27 Supermérelands required by the European Commission (which all should have been reached by the first quarter of 2023) was only partially fulfilled and only 17 were implemented.
