The developing situation in Hungary"s Conservative politics
Europe could do more to stop hunger is erosion of democratic norms Hungary's Conservative prime minister, seems unlikely to. Firebrand dissident in communist times he has a reset one term as a respectable is somewhat populist promise to before he led an his party back in apparent as intense. It was the implementation on January 1 to the new Hungarian constitution, accompanied by a barrage of new fundamental laws, Mr Orban stands accused by his critics at home by Hungary's friends abroad mysterious country back in the direction of a new autocracy. Mr Orban's supporters claim that the need to sort out an economic mess, clean up corruption and eradicate remaining traces of communism justify his radical approach they maintain that because the president won the 2000 election with a two thirds majority in the government has a mandate to push to be constitutional change even if some of these appear you liberal and nationalists. And if democracy is not just about winning elections. Even a two thirds majority should not in entitle the president to grab power over supposedly independent outfits such as the media regulator, the judiciary and the central bank as well as budget and audit watchdogs. Still less to twist the electoral rules in favour of his own party.
These developments should be embarrassing to the European Union is part is claiming to entrench democracy is world prosperity on the continent. Over there are limits as to what it can do about Hungary's behaviour and it is more leverage over countries that want to join the club and those who have already members.

Still European Union could do more especially when Mr Albarn's machinations threaten Hungary's economic stability. Essentials biggest debtor country desperately needs support from foreign investors and yet they are spooked by the political risks that the government has itself increased European Union and International monetary fund pulled out of talks over a precautionary line of credit have a putting lesson government because they believe the president is undermining independent central bank and National fiscal Council. Not surprisingly, Hungary's credit rating has just been downgraded to junk and, short and long-term interest rates have been rising in and the currency has been falling.
As well as refusing the country a credit line, European commission should take hungry to the European Court of Justice of the new law seems to contradict the treaty commitment to an independent central bank. Is the Hungarians were to ignore an adverse judgement, the commission should also be ready to invoke provisions in the trees to suspend the country's voting rights in Brussels. The commission is often hesitant about confronting national governments had on them but in this case it should hold firm. European leaders should condemn the president's antidemocratic behaviour loudly and clearly, yet Hillary Clinton, the American Secretary of State has taken the lead in centring him. The American sees a problem clearly however the problem is that European leaders, who nowadays hot summers almost every month into charming and to be ready to criticise each other.
