Hungary is very similar to Bulgaria. I know theyre different countries.
In Hungary all native music, in its origin, is divided naturally into melody destined for song or melody for the dance.
I believe that the confidence of Hungary in me is not shaken by misfortune nor broken by my calumniators.
I am very familiar with Hungary, because I grew up in Romania, which borders it.
In the oldest chronicles of the times conserved in Hungary, reports will be found of Gypsy music, but never of any other, either Magyar, Slavic or Jewish.
I've always criticised American policy when I've disagreed with it. Just as I've criticised British policy. I was violently anti-Suez and pro-American in 1956, just as I was violently anti-Soviet on the invasion of Hungary which took place at the same time.
No one is murdered in Hungary and there are no illegal arrests, but people have begun again, when they talk to you in a public place looking around to see who's listening. You see that in Slovakia, you're beginning to see that in Poland.
Hungary is now on the brink of becoming a neo-fascist state.
I went to see Roma people in Hungary, so I could understand them.
