Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Hungary - Péter Szijjártó
Why won’t Hungary play by Europe’s rules?
Brexit isn't the only threat to the coherence of the European Union. Think about Hungary for a second.

The prime minister held a referendum in a bid to assert Hungary's right to ignore EU rules. Other EU member states have accused Hungary of threatening the Union's future. Hardtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to Hungarian foreign minister, Péter Szijjártó. Why won’t Hungary play by Europe’s rules?
