Pablo Gorondi reports for AP that the prime minister of Hungary is in hot water with the European Union over the death penalty.  What did he do, you might ask.  Did he restore it in Hungary?  Did it propose its restoration?  No, he did not.

He only suggested that the topic be up for debate.  And that is enough to produce a thunderstorm of condemnation in today's PC EU.

"In relation to Brussels, a debate about democracy has come about," Orban said in an interview on Echo TV. "Where are we living? In the Middle Ages, where they declare that there are taboos which are not worthy of debate?"

It is quite bad enough that the EU has bludgeoned smaller and poorer countries into abolition as a part of the price for the economic advantages of joining the big EU market, but to dictate to countries what they are even allowed to discuss -- and then claim that this censorship is in the name of "human rights" -- is gross hypocrisy.  When did freedom of speech stop being a human right?
