There was an agreement on a seven year budget for the EU in July, which was agreed on by everyone. Then, just recently there was an attempt to make it so that funding can be blocked for countries that do not adhere to "respect of rule of law", which I assume is the EU coming up with whatever they want. I am not sure if there is anything specific already, but there have been talks about LGBT rights and immigration, big surprise.
It is essentially the EU trying to give itself a way of strongarming countries into doing what they want.
Only Hungary and Poland opposed / blocked this in the entire EU. Not the package itself or its contents, but the "respect the rule of law" / strongarming portion (since they have agreed on the budget part in July).
Expect the narrative to be "Orban is blocking the relief package to poor suffering people".
Thankfully for Poland and Hungary they are led by actual men, unlike the rest of Europe. I'm Irish, our political elite would never even dare dissent against anything the EU propose. They are filthy little lap dogs hoping to be rewarded by the globalists in the future.
The problem with this is that there is a lot of money at stake, people do actually need it, and if the EU gets this done somehow they will be able to force everyone into doing what they want or they will sanction the country in question. Not sure if it can really be resisted in the long term.
Same shit as in the US really. The Dems kept tacking unrelated issues onto the stimulus package so they could blame Trump and the Reps for "letting the people suffer" because there was no way in hell they'd pass those.
Exactly that. It's EU blackmail. It's the same trick and pony they've always done. Cause a problem/exacerbate it, sell a cure with extortive prices.
I honestly wonder why some countries are still desperate to join, despite seeing what happened to Greece, Italy, Spain and their currencies and the strong arming over brexit (weather you agree with it or not).

Keep us posted on what happens.

The progressive elites want to join the EU to cement their positions and gain access to a larger herd of sheeple for slaughter.
