- 7 Dec 2012 10:40 AM
- current affairs
The reactions to what happened at the Anti-Fascist Demonstration held recently in front of the Hungarian parliament building naturally vary.

I was, for example, gratified that the crowd came from all over the country. I was also very ...

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 ...
