Péter Magyar said he hopes to reach an agreement with the European Commission next week to unlock €10.4bn in recovery funds that were frozen under the previous government of Viktor Orbán, as an August deadline nears.

Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar said Tuesday he hopes to sign a political agreement with the European Commission “next week” on the release of EU funds that had been frozen during the previous government.
