Looks like the Hungarian bribe worked. One does what one must in politics.

What is the Hungarian bribe?
The EU released some ten billion in aid that was frozen to Hungary, despite minimal progress on judiciary independence.
In another thread I read that the ten billion was technically never frozen in the first place, it was Hungary that had failed to do some paperwork necessary for the money to be transferred. They finally did the paperwork.
Not that I'm going to complain if Orban thinks he got bribed into agreeing to this. At this point I'm willing to see the problem of bringing Orban to heel as a lower priority than getting support to Ukraine.
Huh. Can't say I'm overly familiar with the subject, I just read about it the other day.
Me neither, but two people who have no familiarity with the subject discussing it at length is classic social media so there's nothing wrong with that. :)
