Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar is seeking a refund of the European Union's €1 million daily migration fine imposed on his country.
Brussels fined Hungary a lump sum of €200 million, plus a daily penalty, in 2024, after Viktor Orbán's government failed to implement a 2020 European Court of Justice ruling on migration. The court had found that Hungary had breached EU law by failing to guarantee asylum seekers the right to fair treatment.
