This is just them wanting to be able to slam the brakes on whenever they want something. Also, I don’t expect Orban to approve the funding even for this year without some significant arm-twisting.
So now the EU leech also wants to control how the rest of the EU spends their money.
Hey, we might stop blackmailing you today if you agree to establish a yearly blackmailing event in return. Deal?
- Hey, it "works" in the US where we let terrorists hold us hostage twice a year - once during the budget debates, and again when it's time to pay the bills.
