Summary

Hungarian PM Péter Magyar is pushing hard to end the EU’s Article 7 rule-of-law procedure against Hungary, claiming progress since his April election and aiming to unlock frozen EU funds. He met with European Parliament President Roberta Metsola, who signaled openness—but stressed that any closure depends on concrete, demonstrable reforms. While Magyar’s party and the EPP leadership support ending the process, some MEPs like Tinneke Strik and Sophie Wilmes insist it must remain active until all concerns are fully addressed. A key October mission will decide if Hungary’s reforms are enough to close the book. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
