Xpat Opinion: Hungarian Women And Politics
- 27 Sep 2012 9:00 AM
- current affairs
Since we seem to be in the swing of things, why don’t we continue with the topic of women? This time women in politics. 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.

Commentators argue that the left-of-centre opposition in Hungary is fragmented, and despite some hopes to the contrary, LMP and MSZP remain unlikely allies. Civic organizations offer no alternatives.
