Akár kétmilliárd euróhoz is hozzájuthat némi ügyeskedéssel az Orbán-kormány az alapjogi aggályok miatt befagyasztott uniós pénzekből
Ezekhez a kabinet több lépésben próbált hozzáférni az utóbbi hónapokban.
Regrouping/reprogramming can allow HU to access up to €2bn from the frozen funds without reforms.The Commission is currently assessing a request of €605M. Cohesion policy mid-term review can widen or close this loophole. EP is stronger, Council is less so.

The only field where Hungary improved in the rule of law report concerns salaries of judges.That was achieved by the gov. blackmailing judges, they protested against it late last year. Checks and balances deteriorated, media freedom and anti-corruption stays, well, bad

26 MSs didn't submit their national plan for the Social Climate Fund. Incl. HU, though they love talking about high energy prices. The fund would compensate the costs of the green transition for the most vulnerable. I talked to @tagliapietra.bsky.social about ETS2

Anyone who is against the 2040 climate targets should just hold a two-hour press conference outside during this heatwave, explaining why we have all the time in the world.

Hiába perelné az Orbán-kormány az Európai Unió Bíróságát, nyerésre szinte semmi esély, fizetni pedig mindenféleképpen kell
Ilyen eljárás még soha nem fordult elő az EU Bíróságának történetében.
The Hungarian government wants to sue the European Court of Justice, instead of complying with the ruling. @derminepaul.bsky.social explained why this might not work.
The chance of winning such a case "is close to zero".
Asking for compensation cannot annul a ruling

She said she will only attend the march if it was legal. Funnily enough most likely not everyone will think the same about the legality of the event.

Szovjet tankok, sátánisták – Ismét a Budapest Pride betiltása volt a téma az Európai Parlamentben
Több felszólaló nem volt elégedett az Európai Bizottság eddigi teljesítményével. Dobrev Klára odaszúrt egyet Ursula von der Leyennek.
Soviet tanks and satanists were also discussed on the EP debate about Budapest Pride.
And many far right men talked (fantasised? 🤔) about drag queens.
Other MEPs called the commission to do more to protect the rights of Hungarians

Ami angolul Budapest Pride.
It's official. The City of Budapest will organise the Budapest Pride March. As an event organised by a municipality, it doesn't require any police approval.
🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️See you all in Budapest on 28 June

Nemzetpolitika Magyar-módra – a Tisza elnöke hamarosan Erdélybe és Délvidékre látogat | Válasz Online
We all wondered why on Earth Orbán endorsed Simion, who started his career with anti-Hungarian actions... Válaszonline had some sources saying it was a request from Meloni, Chega and even Maga circles

Sérti az uniós jogot a gyermekvédelminek nevezett törvény az Európai Unió Bíróság főtanácsnoka szerint
Ez még nem ítélet, de fontos jogi elemzés.
"It's hard to imagine a more serious disagreement" said Renáta Uitz researcher of CEU and @royalholloway.bsky.social who explained the significance of the advocate general's opinion regarding Hu's homophobic "child protection" law

Advocate general opinion on HU's homophobe law:
"Hungary... has negated several of those fundamental values and, thus, has significantly deviated from the model of a constitutional democracy, reflected in Article 2 TEU. "🙌

THIS IS HUGE!
In COM v HU (child protection/homophobe law), the Advocate General asks the Court to establish a self-standing violation of Art 2 TEU. This is unprecedented and is likely to create a new chapter in the saga of Hungary's systemic violations of the rule of law/fundamental rights.

Kocsis Máté: Az átláthatósági törvény kapcsán nem zárok ki egy menetrend-módosítást sem
Az eredeti tervek szerint jövő kedden szavazott volna erről az Országgyűlés.
The head of the Fidesz Parliamentary group "does not rule out" delay in voting for the russian style censorship law.
Apparently they got "substantive comments worth considering" from BAR association, banks and advertisers' association

The Hungarian government wants to silence all independent voices. Once the russian style law takes effect, blacklisted organisations will have an incredibly hard time.
Here's a list of organisations that are being targeted. Please consider supporting them

EXCLUSIVE: EU Commission must go to Budapest Pride, say 60 MEPs - Euractiv
A cross-party group has accused the Commission of "failing to fulfil its duties”, in a letter seen by Euractiv.
NEW: 60 MEPs from five political groups say the Commission must be "visibly present" at Budapest Pride
Say VdL's 'do not travel' advice shows "weakness and a lack of solidarity" with Europe's LGBTQ community
