In the EU budget dispute, Poland and Hungary reached an agreement with the German presidency of the Council of the EU, according to Polish Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Gowin. “There is an agreement in the triangle-Warsaw-Berlin-Budapest,” Gowin said in Warsaw on Wednesday. He believed that the other 24 EU capitals could also support this deal. Gowin did not elaborate on what the solution would look like.
He is optimistic that Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki will be able to negotiate a “good deal” on the EU budget issue during the EU summit on Thursday and Friday.
In protest against a new procedure to punish violations of the rule of law, Poland and Hungary are blocking decisions on the Crown’s multibillion-dollar financial aid and the forthcoming long-term EU budget. This could mean that the EU initially only has a kind of emergency budget available in the new year. Numerous programs in areas such as research, health, education and youth could not start.
On Tuesday night, after speaking with Morawiecki in Warsaw, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said there was a solution only “one centimeter” away.
