Ahead of this weekend's summit, several EU leaders have spoken out about corona crisis support. Hungary's Victor Orbán is pushing an issue that could be a bigger stumbling block than previously thought, says Katia Elliott, SVT's reporter in Brussels.


When the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez visited Stefan Löfven on Harpsund during his tour of Europe, the corona crisis support was discussed. The disputed issue will also be in focus during next weekend's EU summit. And it's not the only point where opinions diverge.

- Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orbán is of the opinion that money should not be conditioned on democratic commitments, and today he brought with him the Prime Minister of Portugal, says SVT's reporter Katia Elliott.
