EU Leaders Can't Tolerate Support for Hungary, Parliamentary Session Ends in Uproar

Slovak MEP Milan Uhrik delivered a candid speech during a plenary session of the European Parliament, in which he praised Hungary’s stand for traditional values and criticized the European Union for suppressing them. Following his remarks, his supporters were removed from the chamber. It appears that the EU leadership—already mired in scandal—has little tolerance for dissent.
