Péter Magyar would agree this year to the daily 1 million euro EU coercive fine

Hungary aims to reach an agreement with the European Commission by year-end regarding a daily fine of one million euros imposed for non-compliance with a 2020 ruling on asylum and return regulations. Prime Minister Péter Magyar emphasized the need for a legal solution that maintains border protection while adhering to EU court decisions. The Hungarian government has faced criticism for its policy of immediate expulsion of irregular migrants, which lacks legal recourse for asylum seekers. The European Commission initiated infringement proceedings against Hungary, leading to a ruling that found the country in violation of EU law, resulting in substantial fines until compliance is achieved.
