Hungary has lost its entitlement to around one billion euros in EU aid due to breaches of 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 a spokesperson for the European Commission confirmed to Deutsche Presse-Agentur.

It's good to see it happening, but it's been really slow to implement, and allowed Orban a lot of time to shore up support and put lackeys in critical political positions. Even with the demanded reforms in place, it's likely he will "win" the next "election" and use the "mandate" to further entrench himself.
