3:09 pm
minister victor or bon of dismantling democratic institutions for nearly a decade. now, why this decision only now that's certainly true the allegations against a prime minister or bon on corruption specifically are definitely not new. in fact, the use anti fraud office investigated how hungary spent you funds from 2015 to 2019 and found that 4 percent of that money had irregularities tied to it spending . so this is certainly something the commission is wanted to get a handle on for a long time. what has changed and what is new today is their ability to do this. and that's because a mechanism created in 2020 was challenged in court by hungary and poland who figured they would be among the 1st targets of it. and in fact, that was only confirmed the legality of it in february of this year. so that's the mechanism that the european commission is using now to try to withhold money from the use general budget. now there has been another effort to keep money from hungary over it's, it's rule of law and,
3:10 pm
and corruption allegations from the commission. and that is by withholding approval of hungary recovery budget for coven measures. and that's a $6000000000.00 fund. so that's been held up as well over these corruption charges . but this certainly seems to have struck a chord in budapest. struck according budapest bow is budapest, been reacting to this that's right. the, the hungarian government knew this was coming. and in recent days, it suggested that it would change its laws and put in place some more anti corruption measures to bring itself into compliance with what it believes the commission wants from it. and they said that these laws would be passed the middle of november. so certainly it remains to be seen if that goes through you member countries have yet to cast their votes, as you well know should what happens now? that's right. this will go to e, you heads of state and government now. and the commissioner, commissioner hon today, gave hungary to months to changes laws to prove. he said that it was going to
3:11 pm
improve its performance in rule of law, before the you had to say would have to make a decision. they've got 3 months to make that move and hungry has said that it will be in place in 2 months. so really it will be a bit of a waiting game. and i'm certainly certain that we'll see a lot of politics on this move, play out before that terry shots on top of affairs in brussels as always a many thanks. world leaders, including us president joe biden has begun to arrive in london ahead of queen elizabeth's funeral. on monday, thousands of mourners have been queuing in central london for a 4th straight day hoping is she the coffin of the late monarch? thousands continued a patiently wait in a kilometers long queue for a chance to glimpse the coffin of queen elizabeth the 2nd. as she lies in state at parliament's, westminster hall in central london. some mourners were treated to an unscheduled walk about by king charles and his son,
