EU Proposes Lifting Hungary Rule-of-Law Conditionality Measures

The European Commission has proposed lifting the conditionality mechanism measures imposed on Hungary in December 2022, citing Budapest's progress on rule-of-law concerns. The move, framed by Hungarian media as a reward for Péter Magyar's political gains, signals a potential thaw in EU-Hungary relations. The Council's decision remains pending, and the actual impact on frozen funds is uncertain.
