The EU is threatening action against the Hungarian prime minister’s policy. The EU sees action by Prime Minister Viktor Orban as out of line with EU understandings on rights and democracy. The controversy centers on Orban wanting to close a university founded by philanthropist George Soros.
The EU has a greater dissatisfaction with Hungarian policy. Some EU members seek greater disciplinary action. Hungary’s allies in the EU, like Poland, may shield the country from too much trouble.
The EU wants further analysis before any action is taken.
