Hungary will lose €200 million in EU funds after failing to pay a fine imposed by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) for breaching asylum laws. The ECJ had ordered the payment due to Hungary's restrictive asylum policies, which included limiting access to international protection for migrants. The European Commission announced that it will deduct this amount from future EU budget payments to Hungary, as the country has yet to comply with the ruling. Furthermore, Hungary faces an ongoing daily penalty of €1 million for non-compliance, which totals approximately €93 million to date. This situation reflects ongoing tensions between Hungary's nationalist government and the EU over migration policies. The EU's actions are part of a broader effort to enforce compliance with its legal framework regarding asylum and migration.
