Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in a radio interview Friday acknowledged that the selection of members for boards of trustees that will oversee the operation of most of Hungary's public universities is based at least in part on ideological criteria.
"When we set up these foundations and appoint the boards of trustees, we will be appointing people...who have a national worldview," Orbán said. "That is why I cannot in good conscience recommend anyone to such a board of trustees who is an internationalist, globalist person, because they would take the universities in that direction."
