Incoming Hungarian PM Peter Magyar will sign a deal by end‑May to unlock roughly €10 billion in EU pandemic‑recovery aid.
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmed no conditions contrary to Hungary’s interests and pledged support for fund release.
Funds must be claimed before the program expires end‑August, after €20 billion payouts were suspended over rule‑law concerns.
Magyar is set to meet European Council President Antonio Costa and will be sworn in early May, signaling renewed EU alignment.
