The loan is part of a larger package for 2026-2027; the €90 billion figure refers to the total amount approved by the European Parliament on February 24, 2026.
The claim was made on March 9, 2026, and subsequent reports from March 19-20 confirmed Orbán's continued blocking of the loan at the European Council summit.
