Hungary's Hunted Homeless, A Conservative Approach To Pleasant Place
- 3 Oct 2013 1:00 AM
- video
Hungary has been cracking down on its homeless people. Cities now have a law saying they can define areas where they aren't allowed to stay, such as parks, playgrounds, or underpasses. Those who refuse to move on can be sentenced to public service work, fined or put in prison. Civil society groups say the government is criminalising vagrancy and not dealing with the root causes.

- business
It has yet to be seen whether the Hungarian government is ready to drop MOL’s executive chairman in its ongoing standoff with Croatia. It is too early to say if we are witnessing Croatia's efforts to find its feet or is it hardcore payola.

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. Some of them live in homeless shelters; others, afraid of being robbed, refuse to go there. In any case, there are only about 5,500 places, which is not enough. Some of those counted as homeless ...
Now On: Erik Mátrai: Landscape, Műcsarnok Budapest
- 23 Sep 2013 9:00 AM
- community & culture
Erik Mátrai’s installation entitled Landscape was designed specifically for M0, the new project space of Műcsarnok/Kunsthalle Budapest. Over almost the entire area of the former assembly hall – with its historicist character and stuccoed, vaulted ceiling – a golden liquid swirls and flows down the four-metre high walls. The sounds of the water and the yellow light fill and dominate the exhibition ...

Event Report: LurdyV8 - 5th International US Car Meeting

- entertainment
I drove onto the parking lot of the Lurdy shopping center and walked to the rear fenced off area where a lot of visitors and exhibitors were. The deep gurgling and babbling sound announced the coming of a large and elegant limosine, followed by the bass-heavy humming of a 'Hot Rod' car. The limo glided majestically past me and the Hot Rod car followed, in impatience to demonstrate its power.
