AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoUkraine Relations: Prime Minister Péter Magyar says Hungary will allow Ukrainian grain to cross the country en route to Western Europe. His first meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Brussels opened a “new foundation” for ties, and Hungary’s objections to two EU accession negotiating clusters were lifted. But Budapest will not join the proposed €70 billion EU loan for Ukraine. Christmas Eve: Parliament unanimously made 24 December a non-working day, a change expected to benefit more than 1.5 million workers; some essential services will continue with holiday pay. EU Funding and Scrutiny: The EU has unlocked €4.2 billion for Hungary and restored access to Erasmus+, while a Hungarian billionaire linked to the previous government has been released from custody and placed under house arrest in a corruption case. Energy: Hungary is among the countries pressing for more flexibility in EU carbon rules as leaders clash over high energy costs. Nuclear power supplied 40% of Hungary’s electricity in 2025 and solar 27%, but limited storage risks greater price swings.
