The European Commission announced on Wednesday that it will release an initial tranche of 4.2 billion euros to Hungary after the country's new government implements reforms related to the rule of law. This is money that the Commission has so far withheld.
Hungary has taken important steps to strengthen the principles of the rule of law and protect the interests of the Union, says European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen of the plan that must be approved by the member states.
