The European Parliament voted on Thursday morning in favor of imposing sanctions on Hungary and Poland, its two member states that have received the largest number of Ukrainian refugees following the invasion by Russia on Feb. 24.

In January 2021, the EU introduced the Rule of Law Conditionality Mechanism which provided a tool whereby the Commission could refuse to release EU funds to national governments who they considered to be in breach of the common rule of law.
In essence, it means that if conservative countries dissent against the liberal European mainstream on how to govern — for example, Hungary’s passing of legislation which prohibited LGBT+ propaganda to be taught in schools or rejects mass immigration — the offending country could be refused access to European funds they are entitled to.

Poland is being punished for its refusal on Mig transfer to Ukraine.
Hungary being punished for a number of things, plus being reluctant re: the party line on Ukraine.
I note both countries happen to be the "buffer", with Brussels being some distance away from the action if it occurs.
What a way to make friends, Brussels.
How Bideneasque......Well at least we have company.
EU scum
EU about as worthless as NATO.
Both should go the way of the Dodo bird.....
They don’t allow mass migration from muslim countries, and they don’t go for the LGBT stuff. Thats why they are being targeted.
No, they are being sanctioned for past refusals to accept illegals aliens from the middle east.
were i these countries, i would appeal this if possible and if not, quit the EU
“They don’t allow mass migration from muslim countries, and they don’t go for the LGBT stuff. Thats why they are being targeted.”
Some animals are more equal than others. Come on man.
Im guessing....
Poland for the homos
Hungary for the no muslim refugees
And they sit back defenseless wanting us to lose more sons and daughters. Screw EU. Screw their Europe war.
No, they refused to absorb millions of “refugees” from Syria and North Africa, and rejected some of the woke retardedness that they deemed unsuitable for their culture. Considering the behavior of these “refugees” in the rest of Europe, it was a wise decision, so they must be punished.
Dear England. You did the right thing!!
The Fourth Reich strikes back!
No,
Most of this stems from Central European nations being Catholic or Eastern Orthodox and not being on bord with the ultra liberal social policies of Brussel.
The issues: immigrants from North Africa and Middle East, LGBTQIA+, abortion, NGO’s and the likes of Soros...
Look at it as Western Europe being Ultra liberal socailly, and Central Europe being a bit more conservative. But the West controls the government and holds the reigns “punishing” all those that do not agree and play along.
The more things change, the more they stay the same: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East%E2%80%93West_Schism
Will we see ....PEXIT or Hexit kinda like Brexit? They should..
Nailed it. Resistance to the Greco/Roman empire will be crushed
The EU needs to die.
Poland and Hungary are two countries with leaders and people that still possess wisdom, good judgment, and common sense. They also have a senior population that remember the lies and tricks of Marxists.
The EU on the other hand is mostly out of Brussels and they are unwise and often asinine.
I don’t think Poland or Hungary will pay the sanctions and I don’t think they will withdraw. Rather they are sharp enough to see this as part of a Marxist Color Revolution that will play out over time leaving the current crop of EU non-elected nobodies twisting in the wind.
F the EU!
Poland, always stuck in the middle, between two Evils: The EU and Russia.
