(ANSA-AFP) - BUDAPEST, JUL 1 - Hungary takes over the EU's
rotating presidency on Monday, promising to be an "honest
broker" despite widespread concerns over what critics see as an
authoritarian, Russia-friendly government. Nationalist Prime
Minister Viktor Orban, who has run the central European country
since 2010 aiming to transform it into an "illiberal democracy",
frequently clashes with Brussels over rule-of-law and human
rights issues.
