Orban: Govt secured EUR 3 bn in additional funding at Brussels summit

Budapest, July 24 (MTI) - The outcome of the recent European Union summit on the bloc's 2021-2027 budget and its pandemic recovery package in Brussels can be interpreted as the Hungarian and Polish forces having "repelled the international attack of the liberal brigades", Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday. Orban said he and his team were able to secure a little more than 3 billion euros in additional funding at the summit. When the Hungarian delegation arrived there was an agreement proposal on the table that was "unfair" and "deeply flawed", the prime minister said. It needed to be corrected and it was, he added.
