🇪🇺🇭🇺EU Softens Stance on Orbán Before Hungarian Election The European Commission is reportedly softening its criticism of Viktor Orbán's government ahead of Hungary's April 12 election to avoid accusations of interference. Brussels is considering releasing up to €2.4 billion in EU funds, despite €17 billion remaining frozen due to rule-of-law concerns. Both Orbán and the opposition Tisza Party have urged the EU to show restraint during the campaign, fearing political exploitation of any action or inaction. The Financial Times reports that the opposition Tisza Party is currently leading in the polls. Orbán continues to accuse the EU of meddling, while officials fear any action, or inaction, will be politicized during the campaign. Minas Tirith | 24/7 News channel | Updated
