On the question of European money, it was addressed whether amending the child protection law is a condition for obtaining funds from the European Union. According to Dávid Vitézy, amending this law is not a condition for the disbursement of 16.4 billion euros. Éva Magyar also responded to a question about whether the government had received a signal from the European Union regarding efforts to remove President Tamás Sulyok from office. She stated that she was not aware of any such signal. Index.hu ↗

As part of it, the government and the Ministry of Defense are examining several cases, including the grenade incident in Újdörögd and contracts linked to Balásy.
