A couple off the top of my head:

Gov't nationalizing private pension funds (=stealing): 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...

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... http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/10/20/us-usa-hungary-idU...
