A couple off the top of my head:
Gov't nationalizing private pension funds (=stealing): http://www.ipe.com/nightmare-in-hungary-as-government-nationalises-pension-funds/38105.fullarticle http://www.ipe.com/nightmare-in-hungary-as-government-nation...
Corruption scandal over tobacco stores (where shops were required by law to get licenses, which were then awarded to friends and family): http://blogs.ft.com/beyond-brics/2013/07/01/hungarys-tobacco-scandal/ http://blogs.ft.com/beyond-brics/2013/07/01/hungarys-tobacco...
You can also Google MediaLaws, nationalization of other key industries such as parking meters, the constant rewriting of the constitution (modified more often than I push to Github), the 9(!) year appointment of a friendly Chief District Attorney, and most recently the 3000 Billion HUF deal (15B USD) w Russia to construct nuclear power plants that reeks of corruption.
US has also started banning some Hungarian VIPs, something that's typically reserved vs Russians...
