Why would Hungary release its internal government stuff in English?

Because investors speak English, and Hungary is utterly dependent on foreign cash.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I figured it was something like that, or some sort of EU requirement.

QuoteAnd at various places the draft contains stuff like "protection of the Hungarian language" "importance of sports" and "avoidance of foreign words"

Your country is like Europe's Turkmenistan. I hope you get kicked out of the EU. :D
You can't get kicked out of the EU, or else it would already have happened.

You can under Lisbon.

What do you have to do to get kicked out?  Genocide?

Elect the "wrong" political party.

As for the topic, I don't see the problem with legislating what is in essence a moral and good position. We should not be afraid of morality legislation as long as we aren't satanists and criminals.

What's the mechanism then?

It's just fucking priceless, when -as part of his speech to a huge crowd on our national holiday about the start of our 1848 extravaganza- the Prime Minister, curent leader of the EU, draws a connection between the Vienna of 1848 times, Moscow of Soviet fame, and Brussels of present.

Tamas

Oh and other people seem to have heard what I did but could not believe: the PM said (IIRC after dissing the EU as an oppressive organization that "they (not-defined foreigners who "disrespect" us) should give us respect, because nazism and communism was not invented by Hungarians!"

Can you figure out, which country he meant? :P

If he wasnt my country's PM, I would find this awesomely funny.

Calling the Hungarian Prime Minister the leader of the EU is overstating matters just a bit, don't you think?  Even if he holds the presidency, no one would ever follow him.

But nominally he does hold the presidency.

This is the same as if Languish admins would be happily trolling away random shit in the threads.

Oh wait...
