The Prime Minister requested that the EP President relay this request to the members of the European Parliament. He said that “We Hungarians ...

Xpat Opinion: Political Background Of The Refugee Crisis In Hungary
- 3 Sep 2015 10:50 AM
- current affairs
Fidesz and the ‘average Hungarian’ - There is no politician in Hungary with such an amazing knack for what the Hungarian public wants – or is at least willing to tolerate – as Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. He might have narrowly lost two winnable elections in 2002 and 2006, but at the same time he built a marginal and culturally ill-fitting party into one that is fundamentally attuned to the ...

- 2 Sep 2015 4:00 AM
- community & culture
By Liz Frommer: Over 2,000 immigrants packed Budapest's Keleti railway station this past Sunday night, a stark reminder of Europe's current immigration debacle.

Xpat Opinion: Hungarian Spies Are Everywhere
- 6 Aug 2015 11:55 AM
- current affairs
As the minister of the prime minister’s office responsible for, among other things, Hungarian intelligence, János Lázár has very little sense of what should remain secret. I found the minutes of his speech at the meeting of the parliamentary committee on national security on June 23 shocking.
