Please let me state, that I am not a particularly political person, and not unable to see the beauty in things.
It's flawless in it's current form: high-tech meets Art Nouveau so balanced, the details were so gently taken care about - an astonishing building (though I could forget the paintings of contemp. Hungarian artists in the passage...)
The aim of this post was rather to depict the ironic situation: now we acknowledge selling the building - it's similar to the case of those scientists of Hungarian origin who'd been acknowledged being Hungarian after receiving a Nobel Prize. An utterly poisonous attitude, that spoils enjoying the beauty of the building.
