- community & culture
Commenting on a foiled initiative to unveil the bust of a pre-war right-wing politician, left-wing commentators accuse the government of indulging in a cult of racist personalities. Their pro-government counterpart denies the allegation that György Donáth was an anti-Semite, while an independent conservative author calls on the opposing sides to show more tolerance towards each other.

Xpat Opinion: Teachers’ Revolt Brewing In Hungary?

I have the distinct feeling that something is afoot in Hungary, something the self-satisfied Orbán government is not prepared for. I see the beginnings of a movement that may well overcome the current apathy and resignation of Hungarian society and produce active resistance to the Orbán regime.

- 12 Jan 2016 8:04 AM
- community & culture
Éva Rónai is a defining figure of Hungarian textile art. She creates her works using the demanding French tapestry technique on an upright loom, which is very time-consuming and requires tremendous patience, energy, and physical fortitude. Despite her use of a traditional tapestry technique and her choice of biblical-mythical subject matter, her works are surprisingly realistic.

Xpat Opinion: Migrants Seeking Home Show Hope At Keleti
- 2 Sep 2015 4:00 AM
- community & culture
By Liz Frommer: Over 2,000 immigrants packed Budapest's Keleti railway station this past Sunday night, a stark reminder of Europe's current immigration debacle. Mostly hidden under the main square, the juxtaposition of the hundreds of families stranded in tents, hungry and worn, with the luminous facade of Keleti's 19th century station was eerie. Strewn about this vast passageway leading ...

Norm Clark spent some 5 years in total in Budapest, whilst working as the Sales Promotion and Direct Marketing arm of Lintas. He first arrived like several of the early expats soon after the arrival of the newly democratic state, in 1992.
