  1. You may as well compare Germany with Hungary regarding Germany’s unemployment rate and Hungary’s poverty rate. I have no idea where these so called critics get their information from, because Hungary is recognised as one of the richest and most prosperous countries in Europe. I believe it’s the opposition parties sticking their noses in to ridicule the country’s.

  2. HVG is a socialist liberal media, so I think I am right. It is also a media that Soros has dealings with. So there you have it.

  3. I’ve lived in Hungary for 10 years now and never seen a building like that before. Be careful of the Socialists and Liberals.

  4. This building is definitely not in Hungary, it’s an overused stock photo from 4 years ago.
    If you want to have better, relevant illustration, I have photos of real buildings from real, Hungarian towns.
