            <description><![CDATA[Bajnai's rating - Though the PM's approval ratings are higher than in April, now at 34 per cent, the majority of the electorate still thinks he is incapable of managing the crisis (54 per cent). In addition to this, of the 34 per cent who think the PM is the appropriate crisis-manager, only 71 per cent believe him to be a trustworthy decision maker, which means that only 23 per cent of the total electorate deem him trustworthy and capable of leading Hungary out of the crisis.]]></description>

We have been bombarded with references to an ukase from Ágoston Trefort that allegedly ordered the Finno-Ugric relationship, and our attention was drawn to a number of books written by authors studying “real” history.

In total, 58 per cent of respondents said Fidesz would form a government after the next elections, due no later than April (while 33 per cent doubted this). It is remarkable that a majority of socialist and radical rightwing Jobbik voters (49 and 52 per cent, respectively) think so too.]]></description>

However, the information that was leaked about the perpetrators of the gypsy killings implies that the National Security Office has reached the limits of its operational abilities.

Twenty years ago, in the summer of 1989, the local Stasi-detachment tried to keep an eye on those citizens of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) who were planning to defect to the West, and the Hungarian ministry of the interior was less and less eager to assist them.]]></description>

The politician's last speech, however, contradicts the myth; three months before his death, when his personality was already falling apart, Kádár tried in vain to gain absolution for his crimes.]]></description>
