behind

If you believed the wider international media, you could be forgiven for thinking that the ongoing contretemps between Hungary and the EU was nothing more than the Hungarian Government’s failure to adhere to European Union political and economic norms.

However this rather simplistic appreciation overlooks a far more wide-ranging and complex set of clashes which will, in time, be repeated throughout Europe. Therefore, in a sense, the continuing stand-off between Budapest and Brussels is worth monitoring.
