Hungarian political scandal ‘typical’ of Eastern Europe
A sense of desperation has overcome Hungarians this week, after it was revealed through a secret government video tape that their prime minister has been lying to the country for some time now. Socialist leader Ferenc Gyurscany has had to answer to the thousands of protestors storming the streets of Budapest this week, after it was revealed he covered up a large budget deficit to ensure his party won another term in office.It’s not a good sign for the government, as October elections loom closer. University of New South Wales Director of European Studies, Gunter Minnerup, has been in contact with several colleagues in the Hungarian capital and describes the feelings of the locals. He believes the lies reflect the politically corrupt culture of Eastern Europe.
