New concerns in Europe crept up yesterday with Hungary admitting to deep troubles. Peter Szijjarto, spokesman for Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban, said that the country is in a "grave situation" due to the previous government's manipulation of economic figures and its dishonesty about the state of the nation's finances.
