Parliament yesterday approved a resolution calling on the government to get the EU to extend a ban on the purchase of land by foreigners for another three years. The current moratorium will end in 2011. All MPs with the exception of nine Free Democrats approved the resolution.
Népszabadság reported on Monday that a Fidesz government would sell state-owned farmland to Hungarian farmers before the moratorium ends.
The All Hungary Media Group is firmly committed to freedom of expression and therefore applies a mostly "hands off" approach to comment moderation. Comments left by readers represent their own views and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or beliefs of the staff, editors or owner of the All Hungary Media Group, who nonetheless reserve the right to remove comments that are off-topic or which moderators consider to constitute "hate speech." Also note that in order to prevent spam we generally close entries off to comments several days after publication.
