Hungary's Orban makes explosive claim: 'EU wants to topple my govt to make their 'puppet' Magyar PM'

Veteran nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban accused the European Union executive on Wednesday of trying to overthrow his cabinet and impose a "puppet government" on Hungary, likening his protest to the 1956 anti-Soviet uprising. Orban, who faces the most serious threat to his 14-year rule as an opposition party led by a political newcomer has surged in the polls, spoke to supporters on the anniversary of the revolt against Soviet domination that was crushed by the Red Army.
