Xpat Opinion: Hungarian Women And Politics
- 27 Sep 2012 9:00 AM
- current affairs
Since we seem to be in the swing of things, why don’t we continue with the topic of women? This time women in politics. I’m sure that you’ve all heard complaints about the number of women in the Hungarian parliament. Alas, the numbers haven’t changed in any statistically significant way in the last twenty-two years. In the first freely elected parliament, out of 386 members of the House only 28 ...

- 14 Sep 2012 12:00 PM
- current affairs
José Manuel Barroso, president of the European Commission (EC), made a very important speech yesterday. He announced the need for a United Europe.

His message was that “Europe needs a new direction. And, ...
Xpat Opinion: Best Flea Market In Budapest
- 11 Sep 2012 9:00 AM
- shopping
There are two major flea markets in Budapest – one is a fair car ride in the south of Budapest, a sprawling, ramshackle bazaar you may know is called Ecseri. The other is a good deal smaller, held in the city park at weekends. For my money, this is a more sensible, manageable alternative; it's perfectly possible to roll out of bed, onto public transport, through Városliget and right up to the ...

Xpat Opinion: Axe Murderer Diplomacy In Hungary
- 6 Sep 2012 12:40 PM
- current affairs
During the famous ping-pong diplomacy of the 1970s, the People’s Republic of China and the US exchanged visits by table tennis players to pave the way for improved relations between the two countries. In a slight modification of the original model, Hungary is sending an axe murderer to follow up on previous improvements in the country’s relationship with gas-rich Azerbaijan.

Xpat Opinion: Neo-Nazis In Cegléd, Hungary
- 22 Aug 2012 8:59 AM

I wanted to write about the national holiday, August 20, St. Stephen’s Day, but something else came up. Another incident of Gypsy-baiting. This time in Cegléd, a town not far from Kecskemét and Szolnok, about 70 km south of Budapest. It has a population of 38,000 with a fairly large Roma population that lives on the outskirts of the town.
