Mayor: Budapest would happily welcome the CEU and its students and teachers back – Reactions
Change language:
Provisions in Hungary’s law on higher education that affect how foreign universities operate in the country breach EU law, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled on today.
CEU head
CEU head Michael Ignatieff hailed the ECJ ruling as a major moral and legal victory for academic freedom. At a press conference held in Vienna, he said that a benchmark decision had been passed to reinforce legal protection for Europe’s free institutions. He welcomed that the ruling annulled Hungary’s “lex CEU” and restored the CEU’s freedoms. He added, however, that
the university would maintain its campus in Vienna, while plans concerning Budapest were yet to be finalised.
Socialists
István Hiller, Socialist deputy speaker of parliament, said he did not expect the ruling to change the situation, adding that “the government will stick to its point”. He said that a political decision had led to the contested legislation, and argued that
“the problem was not with the performance of the CEU but with the fact that it had been founded by George Soros”.
Hopefully CEU will be able to return to.Budapest.
Mario, why don’t you find a new hobby and do something useful with your life like getting an education, you may learn that liberalism is a cancer that slowly devours its host. You have a full blown stage 4 infestation. Only a parasite would invite CEU back into Hungary to return to peddling moral degeneracy and anti Hungarian globalist marxist doctrine.
Assuming that the CEU returns to Budapest AND that it offers a medical degree, then maybe the likes of Mario could be preserved with formalin for future generations to ‘gawk at’ in a museum of medical oddities.
