EU executive takes step to cut funds for Hungary over corruption BRUSSELS (Reuters) -The European Union's executive sent a formal letter to Hungary on Wednesday, officials said, the first step of a fresh offensive to safeguard democratic checks and balances that could freeze funds for Prime Minister Viktor Orban over corruption. Despite years of criticism by rights campaigners that he was channelling EU funds to his associates, Orban won a fourth consecutive election victory earlier this month. It has not been tested before and offers the strongest tool yet in the liberal EU core's struggle against the nationalist Orban, the eurosceptics ruling in Poland and others accused of undercutting the rule of law.
