The Commission provisionally proposed Hungary be eligible for a EUR 16 billion share of SAFE loans.

Omissions

• The claim reverses the direction of the proposal: Hungary applied to the Commission, not vice versa
• The Commission has not 'provisionally proposed' Hungary be eligible; rather, Hungary's application is being delayed/blocked
• Some sources cite EUR 17.3 billion rather than EUR 16 billion as Hungary's requested amount
• The Commission has approved SAFE loans for other member states (France, Czech Republic) but has specifically not approved Hungary's plan
