agenda

8 March 2013

The Financial Times (FT) continued its anti-Hungarian agenda this week with a well-timed assault on the country’s Prime Minister just as he was about to meet Germany’s Chancellor, Angela Merkel. In an ill tempered and hectoring editorial, the newspaper called for the EU to withdraw Hungary’s voting rights in retaliation for Hungary continuing to defy Brussels regarding the new Hungarian constitution. For the FT, the Hungarian government is demonstrating non-European values.
