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.

Nice to have a craft-beer revolution in Hungary, but what is a revolution without a cool hide-out? After years of wandering, Főzdefeszt has found a base for the revolution, and named it YEAST (that’s what Élesztő means in Hungarian). We never thought of craft-beer revolution as something that is only about beer, so Élesztő will incorporate quite a few things besides good craft beer. We aim to ...
