monti. >> looking at mario monti, his name has been thrown into the ring as a possible replacement for jean-claude juncker. what has been the reaction? >> no reaction at all. i think it is extremely unlikely that he would accept this job. he was talking in a lawn a couple of weeks ago -- in milan a couple of weeks ago at his university saying how much he was looking forward to coming back to take up his professorial duties once again. i think he is very conscious that he has a limited time frame. he would like to about out. of course, he may change his mind, but it seems extremely unlikely to me that he will take up this offer. >> thank you very much for that update. we have more on mario monti and his efforts to sort out italy a little later in the program. first, the european union finance ministers have held another difficult meeting today as they tried to tackle the european debt crisis. hungary was in the spotlight, and brussels issued a stern man to budapest to get its finances in order. >> if hungary fails, the european union says it will freeze almost 500 million euros in funds

monti asked them for their understanding. he said everyone had to share the burden. >> first, we had to convince people that italy could not continue like that. and so that sacrifices were needed in the interest of more solid country and of future growth. but secondly, these sacrifices had to be balanced so that each category in the society was called to contribute. >> reporter: recent opinion polls suggest his cabinet's approval rating reminds around 60%, despite the tough measures. previous governments have not enjoyed such support. italians share a distrust of their politicians and party politics. they've been swayed by the fact that monti passed over career politicians in choosing his cabinet, in favor of those who understand economics. >> the advantage of somebody who does not seek election is that there is total freedom from any constraint. and so my colleague and i in the government spoke the language of truth so probably it was possible for a nonpolitical government to go deeper and wider in the reform efforts. >> mon
