European Court of Justice imposes daily fine on Hungary until compliance with EU refugee laws

ai generated text

The European Court of Justice has ordered Hungary to pay a fine of €200 million for refusing to uphold the rights of asylum seekers. The court also imposed a daily penalty payment of €1 million until Hungary changes its policy. The decision was made after the European Commission launched a new judicial action seeking financial sanctions against Hungary. The country's anti-immigrant government has taken a hard line on people entering the country, and current Hungarian law only allows applicants to submit requests for asylum outside of the country, defying EU rules.

  1. European Court of Justice
    1. In its judgment, the Court holds that Hungary has not taken the measures necessary to comply with the 2020 judgment.
    2. Since this failure to fulfil obligations constitutes an unprecedented and exceptionally serious breach of EU law, the Court orders Hungary to pay a lump sum of 200 million euros and a penalty payment of one million euros per day of delay.

    1. The ECJ's decision to fine Hungary with 200M euros plus 1M euros daily(!!!) for defending the borders of the European Union is outrageous and unacceptable.
    2. It seems that illegal migrants are more important to the Brussels bureaucrats than their own European citizens.
