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 ...
Xpat Opinion: Hungarian Immigrants In Great Britain

- community & culture
You may recall György Matolcsy’s infamous CNN interview in which he extolled the economic achievements of the Orbán government, which adopted his “unorthodox” policies. Matolcsy’s English is somewhat halting and while he was madly looking for words to describe the glorious Hungarian situation, he stumbled upon the phrase “fairy tale.” Well, the description of Hungary as a country that lives in ...

Xpat Opinion: Best Flea Market In Budapest
- 11 Sep 2012 9:00 AM
- shopping
There are two major flea markets in Budapest – one is a fair car ride in the south of Budapest, a sprawling, ramshackle bazaar you may know is called Ecseri. The other is a good deal smaller, held in the city park at weekends.
