Central European University

Hungary's Central European University announced today it had been "forced" to move its most prestigious programmes to Vienna after a long and bitter legal battle with Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government.

Facing protests at home and abroad over controversial new laws on universities and nongovernmental organisations, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said protests are "secondary theatres of conflict" compared to his battle against immigration, as thousands of people again took to the streets Saturday.
