    This is an early April fools joke… Right?

    He is under investigation for plagiarism and gets an award for his literary capabilities… You have to be kidding me. What award is it so that I can learn to ignore those awards…. If he did not plagiarized and it is proven than okay but not when he is being investigated that is a disgrace.

    I think Urban Dictionary should sponsor President Schmitt’s upcoming visit to the University of Debrecen as well as his future visits to ANY academic institution.

    Hi kids all around!
    My (bad) fortune allowed that I personally know a few people who was related by work to Mr.Schmitt during the eighties.
    If anyone gonna meet him, ask him about the events in the apartment of Hotel Stadion…

    Fifth floor, to be exact.

    Believe me, comrade Schmitt will get away much easier, if he resign by his own, right away.

    Long live the President!

    A resignation (inevitable by any reasonable calculus) will not spare President Schmitt the scrutiny into his activities of Hungary’s leading sport diplomat. It’s not a secret that the International Olympic Committee feeds off corruption and Mr. Schmitt fitted there perfectly. He was only doing his job. And this job was buy and sell favors using public funds in an unaccountable tyranny led by a former fascist.
