Presidential plagiarism


The allegations指控 against President Schmitt began in January when a leading Hungarian weekly magazine, HVG, published what it said was clear proof that a large part of his 1992 doctoral thesis on the history of the Olympic games was a word-for-word translation of a work by a Bulgarian author.

President Schmitt is a well-respected former sportsman, who twice won Olympic medals in the Hungarian fencing team擊劍隊. He is also stalwart忠實的 member of the governing Fidesz party, and was elected in 2010 for a 5-year term. An investigatory調查 committee of the Budapest Semmelweis University confirmed that much of the thesis was copied, but criticised the former先前的 university authorities for failing to enforce執行 sufficiently足夠的 high standards.

Now the rector校長 of the university has said he will begin proceedings訴訟 tostrip the President of his honorary title榮譽稱號 of doctor. President Schmitt said that he had no intention of resigning辭職. What happens next may depend on the degree of support he feels from his own party.
