Hungary’s Constitutional Court dismissed an objection to a constitutional amendment on Thursday, August 13th, filed by lawmakers from the Fidesz-KDNP parliamentary group. The rejection occurred without consideration of the objection’s substance or content. This amendment is linked to accessing €16.4 billion in European Union funds. The court’s decision does not finalize the release of the funds; a final ruling on the amendment itself is still pending. This move potentially clears a path for Hungary to receive the substantial EU financial support, currently frozen due to rule-of-law concerns. However, further legal processes remain before the funds are accessible. The initial objection sought to block changes needed to satisfy EU conditions for disbursement.
