Fidesz: Money Hungary is entitled to cannot be given to other countries

Hungary needs budgetary and legal guarantees from Brussels ensuring that the country remains the sole recipient of the funding it is entitled to under the EU’s educational, research and cohesion support schemes, the EP group of Fidesz MEPs said on Wednesday.

In a statement, the group said “the European Commission still owes an answer on the whereabouts of the monies yet unpaid in reconstruction and development funding to member states”.

The group noted that the EC proposal requesting a contribution of an additional EUR 75 billion to the current seven-year budgetary framework was still on the agenda whereas “we still don’t know how much money had been allocated to Ukraine … and how those monies had been spent”.

Further, the group seeks to know “why the interest on the loan taken out by the EU has doubled” while several member states has not received a single cent in reconstruction funding, said their statement.
