"Hunga...Good morning George, here is the news:<br />"Hungary's national hero Cardinal Mindszenty was honoured by Premier Orban who was accompanied by Vienna's Cardinal Schönborn on the occasion of the 120th anniversary of Mindszenty's birthday (photo shows Hungarian wreath and a plaque on a wall at the place in Vienna where he died). Afterwards Orban then met with Chancellor Faymann and Foreign Minister Spindelegger to discuss the growing problem of "misunderstandings" (sic) between Vienna and Budapest. The Hungarian premier spoke at the "Wirtschaftkammer" to the theme of "The renewal of Hungary and the economic situation in Europe."Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4638619958588096610.post-36344668546610590112012-06-12T17:55:41.774+01:002012-06-12T17:55:41.774+01:006pm radio news item pretty near the end (main item...6pm radio news item pretty near the end (main item the disagreement between Italy and Austria over EU finance policy) when VO was saying he had saved Hungary from a financial crisis by taking measures made possible due to his party's 2/3rd majority cited was the example of a telephone tax (whatever that is)*.

In Austria they are rehabilitating the underground and the resistance. For instance its now revealed that 150 never-mentioned-before Austrian railway workers were amongst those who tried to sabotage the Nazi trains., OK, you may say, it's 67 years too late (as somebody MP Doris Bures I think) said on the radio, but at least they are now doing it. <br />I think it says in the Bible something like the sins of the fathers fall on the third and fourth generations. So it takes some up to 80 years. By that reckoning Hungary should be back on course by 2025.Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.com
