Hungary, Poland block EU budget, virus recovery money
The EU may not be able to digest these particular countries they swallowed, which will be a healthy change for all concerned.
[IsraelTimes] Hungary and Poland block approval of the EU’s long-term budget and coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
rescue — a 1.8 trillion euro package — and plunge the bloc into political crisis.

Warsaw and Budapest oppose tying EU funding to respect for the rule of law and their envoys vetoed any decision to proceed, EU diplomats at the Brussels meeting say.

"Hungary has vetoed the budget," Zoltan Kovacs, a front man for Prime Minister Viktor Orban says, arguing that the package must reflect a deal reached in July.

"We cannot support the plan in its present form to tie rule of law criteria to budget decisions," he said.

Poland and Hungary remain implacably opposed to tying their future funding to Brussels’ judgment on whether their spending is in line with EU law.
