- Hungary’s parliament passed the first of a series of anti-corruption bills on Monday as Budapest seeks to avoid a loss of European Union funds when its economy is headed into recession, and the forint has plunged to record lows.
- Facing surging energy costs and inflation, a record weak forint and a slowing economy, Orban, long at odds with the EU, now looks willing to fulfil demands to create institutions that would cut corruption risks.
- Several EU lawmakers called on Hahn not to let Orban off the hook but scrutinise the reforms in Hungary.
