I was hoping some EU'ers might chime in; but I interpret it to mean that Poland and Hungary are blocking a huge bailout to governments who have locked up their citizens as a response to corona, and thusly nuked their own economies.
Poland and Hungary disapprove of paying for that kind of intentional destruction. They don't want to be a part of that fraud. So by whatever EU parliamentary mechanism, they have gummed up a 1.5 trillion bailout to these other EU governments.
Hungary, Poland [sometimes Czech] have bucked EU overlordship repeatedly; the relationship is strained.
It took 15-20 years years to discover what kind of empire the EU was created to be. Some people are not taking kindly to their new feudal overlords.
I did chime in just a few minutes after you posted, as I have not seen your reply when I have started typing mine. This is not about the budget, or its contents, this is about forcing countries to do what you want or face a reduction on the money they get. The budget part was agreed on by everyone back in July.
I do not understand the article, what it is that they opposed? I assume that they are somehow enforcing immigration as part of that budget?
