second home in strasburg where we find detail view europe correspondent that's often welcome max how has victor all back defended his government's actions. you already touched on some of the main points there phil he wouldn't have any of it he flatly rejected what was written or what is written in that report in fact even the big guns saying that hungry fought for its democracy it fought against the soviets or at least a resisted the soviets so he went back that far in voting history saying that this was not a him this was not against his government this was against an entire country so you could tell that he wasn't ready to give any compromise at least not in this setting and that means maybe to a degree that the triggering of article seven got a little more likely because of his. speech what does that actually mean what does this imply we have a report by catherine martin explaining all that take a look. i am the state is what this poster says many hungary and see their right british prime minister as to time the theory and many people are worried about core democratic values such
