The suspension of #Hungary’s EU funds uses a new conditionality mechanism created in 2020.

With this Commission decision, the Council (national governments) has one month to approve or reject the suspension - *by qualified majority*. 🇭🇺or🇵🇱 can’t veto. https://t.co/GAnNdiaPcF

Good to see that the European Commission will use qualified majority on whether to approve/reject the suspension in one month’s time. As the Tweet notes, qualified majority means that Poland and/or Hungary cannot use their veto power to block it from moving forward if the EC decides to do so.
