Xpat Opinion: A Hungarian Pope? Does Péter Erdő Have A Chance?
- 7 Mar 2013 10:50 AM
- current affairs
As I mentioned earlier, the Hungarian media is full of stories speculating about the possibility of Péter Erdő succeeding Benedict XVI. Péter Erdő was appointed Archbishop of Esztergom-Budapest in December 2002 and was also made a cardinal at the same time. At the time of his appointment he was auxiliary bishop of Székesfehérvár and was only 50 years old. He has a doctorate in theology and canon ...

- 25 Feb 2013 8:00 AM
- current affairs
I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me before. Rózsa Hoffmann, the Francophile, most likely turned to the French system when under her stewardship the whole Hungarian primary and secondary education system was turned upside down. Among other things, she wanted children to start their language education with a romance language (clearly she had French in mind) and wanted to discourage the study of ...

Last weekend I had the pleasure to help babysit 4 year old Bogyo. As expected, she likes everything pink, including Hello Kitty, Strawberry Shortcake, but especially, especially My Little Pony. Since then, I have learned through Wired Magazine that there is a subculture of adult male computer geeks called 'Bronies' that love the My Little Pony cartoon, and find deep philosophical meanings in it.

Commenting on the preliminary agreements between the Ministry of Human Resources and protesting teachers’ trade unions and student organisations, Népszabadság believes the government has managed to divide the protest movements which forced it to retreat before the Christmas holidays.
Xpat Opinion: Teachers & Their Students: The Hungarian Situation
- 24 Jan 2013 7:59 AM
- current affairs
Although the leaders of HÖOK insist that “student unity” is intact, I see it differently. The Orbán government as usual has managed to drive a wedge between the two organizations: HÖOK, the present-day KISZ, and the newly formed HaHa (Hallgatói Hálózat). Just as it managed to divide the trade unions and negotiate only with the ones loyal to the government. And the same thing happened a couple of ...

Xpat Opinion: A Divided Hungary Foreseen For 2013
- 10 Jan 2013 11:35 AM
- current affairs
A pro-government columnist argues that the present opposition is more irresponsible than ever, yet Fidesz is still leading the polls. It was an illusion, writes Magyar Nemzet’s leading columnist Szabolcs Szerető, to believe that Fidesz would pacify the deeply divided country by ruling from the centre - between the national radicals and the anti-nationalist forces of the left.

Ba Adri Bruckner: You’ve seen the Christmas markets, warmed up with mulled wine, and now you’re ready for more Budapestian adventures. I’m sure you’ve seen my list of skating rinks, but how about a sledding party? Cross-country ski lessons? Downhilling or snowboarding? For the latter you’d best venture outside the city, but here’s a list of fun snow-filled sports venues in Hungary:
