EUROPE: Financial Crisis Takes Political Toll

IPS News reports:
The weak governments in Hungary and the Czech Republic have fallen, raising questions on the future of liberal economic reform and the influence of the U.S., the European Union and Russia in the region.

Hungarians, as well as Czechs, are now negotiating whether the next government should be political or one of experts. The Czech Republic has decided that elections will take place in October.
