European Union officials are said to have devised a confidential strategy to disrupt Hungary’s economy if Prime Minister Viktor Orbán persists in blocking a €50 billion support package for Ukraine. This move comes in response to growing frustration across European capitals over what one diplomat labels Orbán’s “policy of blackmail”.
The plan, detailed by the Financial Times, reportedly involves measures aimed at weakening Hungary’s economy, depreciating its currency, and diminishing investor confidence. Orbán had previously blocked the €50billion in funds for Ukraine in December, prompting an emergency leaders meeting scheduled for Thursday to revisit the issue.
