This threat goes back to Apr 2017 https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/take-in-migrants-or-leave-eu-tells-hungary-and-poland-rscwfgtwn Hungary. https://www.ft.com/content/a0268234-fd59-11e8-aebf-99e208d3e521 ‘Slavery law’: Hungary set to pass widely criticised overtime bill. The draft bill, which is expected to pass, would increase the amount of time that companies have to compensate employees for overtime work from one year to three years. A recent poll by the Budapest-based think-tank Policy Agenda found that 83 per cent of Hungarians oppose the law. Given the three-year remuneration period, there was a risk that companies could go bankrupt before employees were paid for overtime work. France. Paris in flames over austerity and fuel price rises. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/paris-riots-eiffel-tower-closed-13702966 Germany. https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/government-economy/german-growth-momentum-evaporates-as-manufacturing-orders-shrink German growth momentum evaporates as manufacturing orders shrink. Italy. https://www.investopedia.com/news/all-about-italian-economic-crisis-2018/ National debt over 100% GDP plus austerity ongoing. Government wanted to ease austerity and create more public spending but EU insisted on austerity budget. A very sad event in August with the Morandi bridge collapse and deaths. Meanwhile EU leaders want a European army. The cost is as yet unclear but will mean higher member contributions so UK £11Bn net p.a. likely to increase after Dec 2020 when next 7 year budget decided, if we are still in transition and still due to pay. The £39Bn divorce bill only takes us to Dec 2020 and includes contributions due as well as planned EU road improvements, pension contributions and loans to Ukraine which is not in EU or NATO. Unusual that EU wants to spend funds on an army when most EU Countries DO NOT meet their NATO defence spend commitment of 2% GDP. In 2017 Germany's NATO spend was 29BN euros short!!!! https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6745786/nato-contributions-country-who-pay-most-least-2-percent-gdp-target-trump/ with only UK, Estonia, Greece and Poland meeting the required 2% commitment. The trouble with very senior politicians in all countries is that they are so far removed from any consequences they are about as much it touch as Marie Antoinette.
