Hungary Launches Damages Action Against EU Court Over “Unprecedented” Migration Fine

Hungarian Justice Minister Bence Tuzson said Budapest “will not allow Brussels to force it to accept migrants.”

Hungary has filed a lawsuit against the European Court of Justice (ECJ) over migration-related fines requested by Brussels, Justice Minister Bence Tuzson announced on Monday, December 15th, describing the move as an “unprecedented step in EU history.”

According to the minister, Hungary had already amended its rules following a 2020 ECJ ruling on transit zones. Despite these changes, he said, the European Commission continued to push for sanctions in order to force a change in Hungary’s migration policy and took the case back to the Court in a politically motivated decision.

The proceedings resulted in what Tuzson described as a penalty without precedent in the European Union: a lump sum fine of €200 million and a daily fine of €1 million, both deducted from funds due to Hungary. He stressed that the Court imposed a lump sum 29 times higher and a daily fine 61 times higher than what had been requested by the Commission.

The Hungarian government cannot appeal the ECJ’s 2024 judgement, as it is a binding ruling. It is instead launching a damages action, arguing that the Court had disregarded a number of EU rules and principles, thus causing damage to a member state. Under the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, in such cases the institution is obliged to provide compensation, Tuzson explained.

It may be time that countries being pushed around by the EU declare war and do limited military strikes against EU personnel. That would be the proper way to extract your country from the tentacles of the EU.

the EU have always been globalists... it is time to thwart them.

Good Luck Hungary... get Hangry.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Hungary should withdraw from the EU. There's not much difference to being occupied
by the commies during the Cold War or today being occupied by the EU.

[dfwgator]

F the EU!

[PGR88]

A new NATO must be formed to fight destructive, globalist neo-marxism and free the peoples it is occupying

This time, the enemy is in Brussels and London

[FrankRizzo890]

So, they’re going to fight the EU in the EU’s court?

NO CHANCE.

[MtnClimber]

The EU is not going to stop until it becomes painful not to stop. The more pain, the faster they will stop. It is their choice, right?

Even with the fines, they are probably saving money by not letting them in.

[dfwgator]

More important, they are saving their heritage for future generations.

Hungary can take Belgium in a fight.

[ChuckHam]

Thus begins the next European conflict.

[dfwgator]

San Marino can take Belgium in a fight.

Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a Conservative, should invite Vladimir Putin for an official state visit!

[MtnClimber]

My advice...don’t do a slap fight. Do a KO punch.

The “judges” of the European Court of InJustice and the Europeein’ commissioners in Brussels have addresses, and Hungary has special forces.

Just sayin’.

[MtnClimber]

The “judges” of the European Court of InJustice and the Europeein’ commissioners in Brussels have addresses, and Hungary has special forces.

And many are at work in the same building at the same time.

I'm interested in what the article meant by (bold-faced mine): "The proceedings resulted in what Tuzson described as a penalty without precedent in the European Union: a lump sum fine of €200 million and a daily fine of €1 million, both deducted from funds due to Hungary".

Does anyone know about money flows from the EU to Hungary? If Hungary depends on the EU financially, then the EU controls Hungary. The moral of the story is to not be financially dependent on others.
