Emmanuel Macron, Olaf Scholz and Charles Michel meet Hungarian leader in effort to prevent Budapest blocking decision
The Irish taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, told reporters at the summit this morning that the European Commission unfroze part of Hungary’s EU funding yesterday because “the rules are the rules”.
Addressing today’s summit, he said:
I’ve been attending European Council meetings for six or seven years now.
This is probably one of the most important ones that I’ve attended, precisely because of the big decisions we have to make in relation to Ukraine: a financial decision and also a decision on whether to begin negotiations.
