The ultimate candid: Prime Minister Orbán

Who I actually met today!

I was fortunate enough to be able to tag along on a VIP tour of the Hungarian Parliament with a delegation of US Congressmen. After a meeting with the delegation, Orbán came into the room where the rest of us were waiting, and my husband introduced me to him. He said, "Hello, I'm Viktor Orbán, nice to meet you," and shook my hand. That was exciting ;-)!

Congressman Greg Meeks of NY is in the left background, and Gene (Jénő Megyesy), the PM's US adviser, is on the right,

The tour of Parliament was fantastic -- what an incredible building. Many pictures to come but unfortunately no time to process them now.

Nicely done - he looks weary though. Guess these are trying times for all politicians.
