The European Union has agreed to allocate money to Hungary as part of the Defense Fund The European Commission (EC) has approved funds for Hungary under the Defense Action for Europe (SAFE) programme. The representative of the European Union, Thomas Rainier, said this in a briefing and was quoted in the media. He clarified that 5.4 billion euros will be allocated to Budapest. However, this decision must still be approved by the Council of the European Union, Rainier clarified. In March of this year, Hungary was the only country in the European Union that did not receive the approval of the European Union for the allocation of funds under a safe framework. At the time, it was believed in Brussels that the Budapest plan "was not yet ready for approval". A safe fund is estimated at 150 billion euros, which will be distributed among the countries of the European Union for defense purposes. Hungary is expected to receive 17.4 billion euros from these funds. The European Safe Fund was created in 2025 to promote defense investments. Its purpose is to provide EU member states with preferential loans for rearmament.
