Guest post: why the Tavares report is dangerous for both Hungary and Europe | beyondbrics

"
By Enikő Győri of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs

As a minister of state responsible for European affairs it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to read articles about Hungary without thinking of possible conspiracies aimed against my country, or suspecting the authors and the foreign politicians they quote of complete ignorance.

This is not because I am too sensitive to criticism but because of the gross distortions which I see in so many critical statements about Hungary.

During the past two years the Hungarian government of Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been accused on several occasions of being in breach of fundamental rights, of endangering democracy and the freedom of the press, and of creating a situation where certain ethnic groups – the Roma, for example – could not feel safe."
