- current affairs
About a week ago Viktor Orbán announced that he will be taking a two-week holiday because his “batteries were exhausted.” He will spend time with his family in Felcsút and perhaps at Lake Balaton. I’m sure that a lot of people received this announcement with a certain amount of relief because lately the Hungarian prime minister has been delivering speeches that made not the slightest sense. ...

The German and Austrian press spend a great deal more time on Hungary than do the English-language publications although lately, thanks to the Orbán government’s unorthodox economic and political ...
Xpat Opinion: Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán Didn't Give Up On Chinese Hungarian Alliance
- 2 May 2012 9:00 AM
- current affairs
As I'm looking through my files it seems as if almost nothing has happened in Chinese-Hungarian relations in the last six months or so.

"The claustrophobic confines of a west London attic hideaway. Walls, covered in heavyweight purple curtains seem to bring the dimly lit room’s parameters collapsing in as a huge computer screen’s wallpaper radiates the green glow of long hot summer. Its pastoral image of feudal tranquillity is the room’s only window on the world. Look closer and there’s a twist in this Constable painting. In the ...

"I can’t wait for the Olympics to start. I love to watch sport and the Olympics is really special. It’ll be even more special this year in London. I didn’t get any tickets in the public ballot so I’ll be watching the Games on TV. But the quality and diversity of the competition will be outstanding.
