Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has justified the Commission’s release of €10.2 billion to Hungary in the European Parliament. „Since the beginning of the mandate, the Commission’s aim has always been to persuade the Hungarian government to implement reforms.“ In May, for example, the Commission called on Hungary to implement reforms to restore the independence of the judiciary in the country. As a result, the Hungarian government has also implemented the requested reforms in the area of the judiciary. „Hungary has delivered what the Commission asked for.“
