Hungary’s opposition alliance pledged to join the European Union prosecutor’s office in a bid to unlock billions of euros in frozen aid if it manages to upset Prime Minister Viktor Orban in April elections.
Opposition premier candidate Peter Marki-Zay said he would end Hungary’s exclusion from the European Public Prosecutor’s Office mandate, which he said would unlock 7.2 billion euros ($8.2 billion) of pandemic aid that the EU has delayed on graft concerns.
