German President Steinmeier Speaks in Support of CEU

Today in European Parliament, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier spoke in support of CEU. 

"... if we want to be a lighthouse in the world for the rule of law and for human rights, then we cannot ignore, when these foundations are shaken in the midst of Europe. Europe, then, must not be silent, when civil society, even academia - as now at Central European University, Budapest - are deprived of the air to breathe."
