Hungarian parliament chief: We could leave the EU

Hungarian parliament's speaker László Kövér told reporters on 24 October 2014 if the European Union wanted to dictate Hungary's path, the country could end up leaving the union altogether.

Mr Kövér said that if Brussels wants to tell a country how it should be governed, then it resembles Soviet Union before the change of regime in 1989.
