- 6 May 2013 9:00 AM

Xpat Opinion: Mayday In Hungary - Are Communist Symbols Acceptable?
- 3 May 2013 9:03 AM
- current affairs
A left wing weekly writes that communist symbols pose minimal danger and the ban on them is based on a myth, invented by the Hungarian right to silence their left- wing rivals, namely that Communism and Nazism were equally destructive regimes.
