Nice to see the EU has passed the 50bn in aid, I still think Hungary deserves to be Article 7'd but lets save that for another day, Lol. I knew that cockroach Orban would eventually stop being a dick but now we wait on the Republicans in America and I'm less convinced by them, their recent actions suggest they only used the border as an excuse to stop funding Ukraine and many in the House want funding to stop.

Well, he knows now that the rest of the EU has him in his crosshairs and the means to cripple his agenda if he tries to hinder them further. I hope this serves him enough for a lesson, though time will tell if it does or not.

Two additional paragraphs were added to the draft conclusions agreed by leaders but sources say neither amounted to a win for Orbán. "He didn't get anything," said one source close to those in the room.

One new paragraph calls for the European Council to invite the European Commission to review the budgetary framework in two years' time.

"There is no veto," said a spokesperson for the European Council. However, the new paragraph allows for a "debate" on the fund "if needed".

So all Orban got really was an option to "discuss/debate" the funding in the future but no veto power? Lol.
