Hungary’s Magyar Seeks Political Deal with Brussels on EU Funds by Late May

Prime Minister-Elect Péter Magyar and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen agreed to finalize a political agreement by late May aimed at unlocking billions in frozen EU funds for Hungary. Magyar stated that none of Brussels’s conditions run contrary to Hungary’s national interests; however, the deal could require politically sensitive concessions on more ideological issues, particularly LGBTQ rights.
