ÁGNES HANKISS: POLITICAL REVENGE AND PLUNDERING

Ágnes Hankiss and the institutions led by her have been under continuous attack, leaders of the Ministry of Culture questioned even the necessity of the existence of the Károlyi Palace Cultural Centre and that of Hamvas Institute working in it. Though the attacks seemed to be abated, the Trade Union of Workers in Public Collections and General Education (KKDSZ) published a statement which speaks about ’court elite’, ’protocol culture’ and ’parades’. Magyar Nemzet has asked Ms Ágnes Hankiss, General Director of Károlyi Palace and Hamvas Institute about the background of these charges.
