Incoming Hungarian Government Begins Talks with Brussels over Frozen EU Funds

Hungary's prime minister-elect Péter Magyar said he has held high-level talks in Hungary over the past two days with European Commission leaders, as his government moves to unlock suspended European Union funding and reset relations with Brussels.

In a statement, the Tisza Party leader said he made clear during the discussions that his incoming government would begin work with an unprecedented mandate and responsibility, calling the election result a major opportunity for both Hungary and Europe.

Magyar said restoring access to EU funds would be a top priority, arguing that the resources are essential to restarting the Hungarian economy.
