Crisis has shaken democratic European institutions, says Hungary PM

The outcome of Greece's recent elections suggests that the international economic crisis had shaken the system of democratic European institutions, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Thursday. Briefing the press about the EU summit, Orban said that leaders had adopted a helpful and friendly tone about Greece, striving to bring home the message to Greek voters that while it was up to them to decide the country's future, Europe could only help Greece get back on its feet if "they do not upset the solutions offered by the European Union and previously negotiated agreements".
