agreement between the Hungarian government and the European Commission, which will allow us to conclude all issues by August 31, despite the hard work and work throughout the summer,&#8221; Magyar told reporters at a press conference on Monday evening in Budapest. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And these many trillions of forints will then arrive in Hungary on schedule, quickly, but on schedule, during the fall,&#8221; he added. <\/p>\n<p>Hungary risks losing \u20ac10.4bn in recovery funding if it fails to meet the August 31 deadline to unlock the money. The funds had been blocked due to rule-of-law concerns under the \u200cOrb\u00e1n government.Magyar \u2014 who is expected to travel to Brussels the following Monday \u2014 said technical-level discussions with the European Commission were underway and would continue in the Hungarian capital through Friday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The August 31 deadline may not seem like such a short time, but there is a lot to do. Not only do we have to amend and agree on laws, but we also have to transform institutional systems,&#8221; Magyar told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>Magyar also said he had exchanged letters with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen regarding outstanding issues. He added that his government would reject some Commission demands related to the phasing out of windfall taxes on the financial and energy sectors.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are requests from the Commission regarding the Hungarian budget, which we will not fulfil. Sometimes, by the way, these requests contradict each other. One day they expect us to stabilise the budget, and then they also tell us to phase out some taxes,&#8221; Magyar said.<\/p>\n<p>The new Hungarian government is also expected to submit a revised spending plan for the recovery funds before the end of May. Magyar said the previous programme was currently under review, with priority given to projects considered both feasible and genuinely beneficial to the public.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We obviously want suburban trains, railway renovation, energy-related projects and electricity grid development. Those must be truly useful for Hungarian society and Hungarian companies,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Magyar also announced that his government was reviewing Hungary&#8217;s defence loan request under the EU&#8217;s Security Action for Europe (SAFE) programme, the bloc\u2019s main financial instrument for supporting defence preparedness across the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>The previous Orb\u00e1n government had requested \u20ac16bn for defence projects \u2014 the highest per-capita amount among SAFE recipients. Magyar said the Orb\u00e1n government&#8217;s intention had been &#8220;to put the Hungarian people in debt to fill their crony companies with cash.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>

sign a political agreement with the European Commission \u201cnext week\u201d on the release of EU funds that had been frozen during the previous government.&#8221;Both sides will do everything they can to ensure that next week, when I travel to Brussels, we can sign the political agreement between the Hungarian government and the European Commission, which will allow us to conclude all issues by August 31, despite the hard work and work throughout the summer,&#8221; Magyar told reporters at a press conference on Monday evening in Budapest.&#8221;And these many trillions of forints will then arrive in Hungary on schedule, quickly, but on schedule, during the fall,&#8221; he added.Hungary risks losing \u20ac10.4bn in recovery funding if it fails to meet the August 31 deadline to unlock the money. The funds had been blocked due to rule-of-law concerns under the \u200cOrb\u00e1n government. Magyar \u2014 who is expected to travel to Brussels the following Monday \u2014 said technical-level discussions with the European Commission were underway and would continue in the Hungarian capital through Friday.&#8221;The August 31 deadline may not seem like such a short time, but there is a lot to do. Not only do we have to amend and agree on laws, but we also have to transform institutional systems,&#8221; Magyar told reporters.Magyar also said he had exchanged letters with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen regarding outstanding issues. He added that his government would reject some Commission demands related to the phasing out of windfall taxes on the financial and energy sectors.&#8221;There are requests from the Commission regarding the Hungarian budget, which we will not fulfil. Sometimes, by the way, these requests contradict each other. One day they expect us to stabilise the budget, and then they also tell us to phase out some taxes,&#8221; Magyar said.The new Hungarian government is also expected to submit a revised spending plan for the recovery funds before the end of May. Magyar said the previous programme was currently under review, with priority given to projects considered both feasible and genuinely beneficial to the public.&#8221;We obviously want suburban trains, railway renovation, energy-related projects and electricity grid development. Those must be truly useful for Hungarian society and Hungarian companies,&#8221; he said.Magyar also announced that his government was reviewing Hungary&#8217;s defence loan request under the EU&#8217;s Security Action for Europe (SAFE) programme, the bloc\u2019s main financial instrument for supporting defence preparedness across the European Union.The previous Orb\u00e1n government had requested \u20ac16bn for defence projects \u2014 the highest per-capita amount among SAFE recipients. Magyar said the Orb\u00e1n government&#8217;s intention had been &#8220;to put the Hungarian people in debt to fill their crony companies with cash.&#8221;<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2026\/05\/19\/hungarys-magyar-seeks-eu-funds-deal-next-week-in-brussels&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/76\/37\/01\/1200x675_cmsv2_6c64c0e1-7dc5-5593-8782-fd06b7f8e8f8-9763701.jpg&#8221;] Europe News Brussels\u2019 Manneken Pis goes sporty Sport Game of Thrones: The secret of Florentino P\u00e9rez&#8217;s power at Real Madrid The Cube Viral posts falsely claim Eurovision winner was secretly bought Europe News Ukraine &#8216;paying the highest price to return home to European values&#8217; Europe News Brussels\u2019 Manneken Pis goes sporty Sport [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-1943213","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1943213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1943213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1943213\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1943213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1943213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1943213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
