I was born in a small town in the middle of Germany and after a short period when I was 16 in the far north of Germany, where I could not stand the weather and the flat land, I stayed pretty much put there (it was a nice place with lots of international students…) until I was 25 years old.

- current affairs
Left-of-centre, centrist and pro-government commentators are all appalled by the sudden move announced as part of a 400 billion HUF fiscal package. Early last week, Minister of the Economy György Matolcsy announced as part of his adjustment package that the planned introduction of a “career path” for teachers, comprising an immediate 30 per cent pay raise, will be postponed by four months, from ...

- 9 Oct 2012 9:00 AM
- current affairs
Columnists wonder whether or not the government’s announcement that it will restructure the 2013 budget in order to save 397 billion Forints means that it has abandoned its previous economic strategy .
