The Financial Times reports that Brussels has threatened Hungary with severe economic consequences if it continues to block a 50bn-euro aid package to Ukraine.
The action plan includes cutting Hungary off from EU funding programs.
If Orban continues to block aid to Ukraine, other EU countries will publicly announce that they will not provide Hungary with financial assistance. Investors will be less interested in investing in Hungary, which could lead to a depreciation of the Hungarian forint and other economic problems, such as job losses and slower economic growth.
