    I applaud Hungary's ingenuity in creating the park. The artworks are preserved and protected from vandalism, the people's attitude towards the propaganda is made clear, and it's a huge tourism draw.
    Sure.

    But don't go to the other extreme (as someone might see it)

    "Most Gypsies are not suitable for cohabitation. They are not suitable for being among people. Most are animals, and behave like animals. They shouldn't be tolerated or understood, but stamped out. Animals should not exist. In no way." Zsolt Bayer, Magyar Hirlap, 5 January 2013

    Carl Rowlands for New Left Project: The left has found no response to the right's attacks on Gypsies, its virulent antisemitism and its xenophobic Christian nationalism


    There are tons of articles about Hungary's current predicament.

      There are some countries which after the fall of the USSR and the admittance to the EU started behaving like a liberated nazi Germany. (point made acute to demonstrate it)

      That's generalizing of course, because they are not "monolithic".

      But their (maybe very well deserved) hatred for the Soviets turned to them espousing nazi sympathy (their past liberators) one could say.

      Lithuania and from the looks of it, Hungary, seem to have such problems.

      For Lithuania, the apt description would be "had some problems" because they were semi-officially or officially backed but the country is not gathering flak so much now. But Hungary's persist.

        And the drama is that EU's carrot doesn't work so much any more.
        (Carrot being funds given to them in exchange for democratization of their laws. There are not so many of those carrots now).
