EU legislators agreed to vote on a resolution on the issue yesterday, stating that legal action is required in response to the Commission's decision to release around €10.2 billion in blocked funds to Hungary.

According to EU Helpers, the EU had frozen over €30 billion in funding for Hungary in 2022 because of worries about the rule of law. However, the Commission cleared about €10.2 billion for the country in December of last year, allowing it to spend the money.

Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the EU Commission, will also be present at the parliamentarians' meeting today. The legislators declared that they would contest the Commission's decision to unfreeze the sum during the meeting.

While highlighting that negotiations will go to the point where a lawsuit is likely to be filed, Daniel Freund, a Green member of the European Parliament, stated that the agreement reached in December with Viktor Orbán, the prime minister of Hungary, was not predicated on real reforms in his country.

Regarding the resolution of the Hungary problem and the freezing of EU funding, the Parliament reaffirmed its request that the Commission employ all available means to mitigate the danger of Hungary's breach.

The Parliament also reminded itself that in order to make sure that all regulations are followed exactly as agreed upon, the authority may take both political and judicial action.

On Thursday, EU parliamentarians will vote on the issue, and a verdict is anticipated shortly.

Hungary has been greatly impacted by the fund freeze, particularly the Hungarian students participating in the Erasmus program. The EU withheld funding from 21 Hungarian universities, impacting around 9,000 students.
