Regarding Hungary, anti-Semitism is very much in focus these days. That’s due in no small part to the fact that the Hungarian government has declared 2014 a commemorative year of the Hungarian Holocaust. It’s a subject of interest to many, including U.S. and European friends, because, unfortunately, anti-Semitism is on the rise in Europe.

I almost missed the 24-hour-long police action in the nine districts of the left bank of the Danube, which means the entire Pest side of Budapest.

Xpat Opinion: A Hungarian Judge’s Approach To The Vandalisation Of Horthy’s Statue

- current affairs
Right-wing commentators are appalled by the statement of a judge who convicted but at the same time praised a protester for damaging a statue recently erected to Hungary’s interwar ruler.
