Hungarian Minister of Economy and Energy Istvan Kapitany looks at documents in the main hall of the Parliament in Budapest on June 23, 2026, during an extraordinary session of the National Assembly. Hungarian lawmakers on June 23 approved anti-corruption measures, part of new Prime Minister Peter Magyar's sweeping reform drive and aimed at helping the country get billions of euros in withheld European Union funds. The EU announced late last month it would unlock more than 16 billion euros (USD 18 billion) for Hungary that had been frozen over rule-of-law concerns during nationalist Viktor Orban's rule, if Budapest stays on track with a major reform push.
