Even as the European Parliament moves to punish Hungary for its violation of the EU’s core values, a defiant Hungarian government has said its stand on George Soros-funded Central European University (CEU) has not changed.
When asked in a television show on Wednesday evening how Hungary would respond to concerns raised by the Members of European Parliament over CEU, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said the university still "expects privileges", which would be hard for the country’s legislators "to accept".
