For years, Brussels has been at loggerheads with the Hungarian government over a host of issues – migrants, the rights of minorities, media freedoms, the independence of the justice system and, most recently, over Russia and Ukraine. Long-standing tensions are coming to a head as Hungary delays a proposed EU aid package to Ukraine, while the EU holds up billions of euros in funding to Hungary over rule-of-law concerns.
In this special programme, the Europe Now team travels to Hungary to take a closer look at the country's anti-corruption efforts. Luke Brown takes us to Felcsut, the rural birthplace of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and the beneficiary of multiple EU-funded projects. Armen Georgian conducts interviews with political players such as Tibor Navracsics, the Hungarian minister of regional development and Kata Tütto, deputy mayor of Budapest.
