Hungarian politician to present cartoon of Belarussian President to British Prime Minister
March 11th, 2006 by andy
A very odd story indeed.
A Slovakian organisation arranged an auction of satirical cartoons of Alexander Lunkashenko, the authoritarian President of Belarus:
One of the most expensive pictures drawn by SME caricaturist Shooty, became a subject of tough competition between the leader of the Hungarian Coalition Party Béla Bugár and U.S. Ambassador Rodolphe Vallee. Bugár won and bought the picture for 30.000 SKK. He commented that he would give it as a present to British Prime Minister Tony Blair at a joint dinner the same day. Bugár also got the next picture on auction – to give it as a present to the USA President George Bush next week.
Tony and George will, I am sure, be thrilled.
