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. In the first freely elected parliament, out of 386 members of the House only 28 ...

Invitation: Nadja Massun's Exhibition At Hungarian House Of Photography
- 21 Sep 2012 9:00 AM
- community & culture
I’ve heard that people from afar can say or claim whatever they want about themselves. Putting a little twist on the original saying, people can say whatever they want about a person that comes from afar. In case of Nadja Massun, the proverb may be even truer since she does come from very far she lives in Mexico but was born in Africa to a Hungarian mother and a Belgian father.
