The European Union has initiated steps to reclaim hundreds of millions of euros from Hungary after the country's government, known for its anti-migrant stance, refused to pay a substantial fine for breaching the EU's asylum regulations.
In a ruling issued in June, the EU's highest court mandated Hungary to pay a fine of 200 million euros ($223 million) for consistently denying migrants the right to seek asylum. Additionally, the court imposed an extra penalty of 1 million euros for each day of non-compliance.
