viktor: that is the trickiest part right now.ink investors run the highest risk when central banks are quite happy with what they have achieved. you think about federal reserve, all the central banks have essentially reduced the volatility and significantly narrowed the spread. banks,ectives of central the objective that they have is to reduce volatility and narrow spreads and that is what they have done, so my concern is that ecbhe federal reserve or sound a little bit self congratulating and start pulling back, that is when the risk for investors increases. usually, investors should start panicking when central banks are no longer panicking. when you go through the process of gradual recovery, central banks would need to calibrate the response. equitablynks will be -- incredibly accommodating. they will probably pump in $10 trillion if you include fiscal spending and excluding some overlaps, you are looking at 12% global gdp. i don't think they will be pulling back in any substantive manner for a long time. in fact, one could a

safeguard constitutional rights, democratic values, human rights across europe and they wrote this to viktor in a letter. quote, "an indefinite uncontrolled state of emergency cannot guarantee that the basic principles of democracy will be observed nor that the emergency measures restricted and these fundamental human rights are in fact proportionate to the threat that they are supposed to counter." and you'll be able find endless quotations and instances of critical attitudes towards hungary and the prime ministerfor a reason. it's been happening for the past ten years. political lynching for some curious reason, is the immediate reaction when hungary chooses its own way to handle its problems. come on, mr kovacs, you cannot accuse the head of political lynching? yes, but when it comes to lynching, you look at how it happens. it happens through the western european press, it happens through the left liberal parties of the european parliament and those who did not really like us for the past ten yea rs. let me tell you that as of yesterday, the one of the two who are responsible for the rule
