- 7 Feb 2013 11:00 AM

The system, now getting its final touches, would naturally be much smaller than the one planned for Budapest, Bubi.

Xpat Opinion: Teachers & Their Students: The Hungarian Situation
- 24 Jan 2013 7:59 AM
- current affairs
Although the leaders of HÖOK insist that “student unity” is intact, I see it differently.

Just as it managed to divide the trade unions and negotiate only with the ones loyal to the government. And the same thing happened a couple of ...
