EU holds back all of Hungary's cohesion funds over rights concerns
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission said on Thursday it would hold back all 22 billion euros of EU cohesion funds for Hungary until its government meets conditions related to judiciary independence, academic freedoms, LGBTQI rights and the asylum system.
EU institutions had already decided on Dec. 12 to freeze 6.3 billion euros of the funds until the right-wing and eurosceptic government of Viktor Orban meets an even tougher set of 17 conditions also linked to the judiciary and dealing with corruption at high levels.

.... The commission said in a statement that Hungary wasn’t fulfilling the EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights. In particular, it mentioned a so-called “child-protection law” that bans minors being exposed to any kind of portrayal of homosexuality or sex reassignment, which has drawn criticism for restricting the rights of the LGBTQ community.

That's what happens when you give up your sovereignty.
Like it has been said.
Who do the progressive libs hate?
Robin. because he supports the family
Putin, because he supports the family
Europe has had to switch from gas to coal. They have had to reopen the coal field and plants. They were wrong and they have yet to admit it. Western Europe is going to piss off Easter Europe and the EU will be lucky to exist as rump parasitical state.
Many of us were hoping the LGBT demands would be satisfied with gay marriage, but we thought they would not be. Unfortunately that was true. Now we have drag shows for children and medical disfigurement.
The vons and the zurs have to get over themselves.
If I were a Hungarian, a fight over 22 billion earmarked euros is a small price to pay to keep that insane Satanic garbage the hell out of my country.
I hope Orban fights this all the way.
Orban will fightand win. The EU is a "Paper Tiger surviving on past history. Its reason for existence is fading. Hunnary, Italy, Poland, UK, Sweden and Norway are doing what they want. They've had enough. Wait ubtil winter 2023-24 when the "cold weather really hits the fan and the energy isn't there.
And Merry Christmas!!!
