Abstract

The article focuses on Hungary's incoming Prime Minister Peter Magyar's efforts to restore access to billions of euros in frozen European Union aid following his recent election victory. Magyar plans to negotiate with European Commission officials to address rule-of-law concerns that led to the suspension of over €20 billion in funds, including €10 billion from post-pandemic recovery aid that risks expiring soon. The EU has set 27 conditions for releasing the funds, many of which Magyar's government could implement quickly due to its parliamentary majority. Additionally, Magyar's government aims to improve relations with the EU, including lifting Hungary's veto on Ukraine's EU accession talks and considering eventual adoption of the euro, while addressing domestic issues such as cronyism linked to the previous administration.
