- 9 Oct 2013 1:00 AM
- current affairs
I said a couple of days ago that I had gained the impression that members of the Hungarian police force have been emboldened in the last three years. They feel that the government believes in strict rules and often opts for punishment as an answer to social ills.

- 7 Oct 2013 1:00 AM
- current affairs
Today’s topic is the Hungarian police’s decision not to investigate the attack on a Roma family in Devecser, one of the villages that earlier fell victim to the red sludge that covered acres and acres of land around a factory producing aluminum. I didn’t deal with this specific incident except as one in a series of anti-Roma attacks by far-right groups during the summer of 2012.
Hays Hungary: The CV Is Not Dead: But Is There Life In Yours?

- specials
The digital prophets have been predicting the demise of the CV for years. But the curriculum vitae or resume is still with us and it’s alive and well. For vast numbers of people in professional roles, as well as those of us working specifically in recruitment circles, it’s still common currency.

Xpat Opinion: The Plight Of The Homeless In Hungary
- 1 Oct 2013 1:00 AM
- current affairs
Perhaps I haven’t spent enough time on the plight of the homeless in Hungary. The United Nations estimates the number of homeless people in Hungary at 30-35,000, of whom about 8,000 are in Budapest.

Back in the day, when Budapest was much cooler than you could ever possibly imagine, people from all over the world came to Hungary to share their unconditional love. You could rummage around under a brick or a flower pot outside anyone's house, at any time of day, find the key and let yourself in. Then, after helping yourself to a beer from the fridge, you could lie back on the nearest sofa and ...

Xpat Opinion: Human Rights Watch: Getting It Wrong…Again

The recent Human Rights Watch dispatch, Hungary: Constitutional Changes Fall Short, shows that sometimes it’s just not worth the effort. Some writers simply have another agenda. They approach the topic with such prejudice that they are incapable of handling facts that don’t fit their narrative.
