Hungary has lost its entitlement to EU funds amounting to around one billion euros due to deficiencies in the rule of law. In order to release the money, the country would have had to implement reform requirements by the end of 2024, as confirmed by a spokesperson for the EU Commission. The forfeited funds amount to €1.04 billion that were earmarked for Hungary from structural funds.
