‘…Hungary is teetering and trying to balance between getting European funds and earning the title of sovereign and strong country. This is exemplified perfectly by the Fidesz campaign before the European Parliamentary elections, when the only message of the governing party was “respect for Hungary.”…’

Also, the title from this post comes from the linked to article – It has been so long since I have seen The English Patient that I am not sure what the reference is here. Must watch again in 2015!
