The EU rushes to unlock billions for Hungary as Magyar prepares for power.

EU officials are meeting Hungarian prime minister-elect Péter Magyar’s team in Budapest on Friday, hoping to fast-track cooperation and work towards unblocking billions in funding.
One of Tisza’s campaign pledges was to restore Hungary’s ties with the EU and convince it to unblock the funding, which has been withheld since 2022 over concerns about corruption and rule of law.
