"Futile acquaitance, the unconscious, like a blind old lady, tumbles
without knowing where it goes and what it does. Unacquaintance brings fervor, in which Deed, the rigorous effect of earlier acts forms the unconscious like the potter who makes a pot out of mud. Conscience comes from fervor, which is unsteady, just like the monkey in the forest running from tree to tree."
Xpat Opinion: How Women Are Being Treated In Hungarian Parliament

- current affairs
In September of 2012 there was an uproar in the Hungarian parliament over the issue of domestic violence; I spent at least two posts on the issue. By popular demand, the House had to consider including domestic violence in the criminal code. It was clear from the beginning that the Fidesz-KDMP caucus was planning to vote against the measure. One member of the government party after the other got ...
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: Budapest - The Basics

Recently on YouTube, I watched an old clip of the hit TV show Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? during which the host asked a perky American blonde the following question: “Budapest is the capital of what European country?” After much hemming and hawing, the woman finally gave her answer: “France." E-gads! After my eyebrows finally came down, I thought…I better make sure no one reading my new ...

- community & culture
The Constitutional Court struck down provisions on the notion of family and inheritance law in the act on family protection on Monday.

Remembering Extraordinary Hungarians - By Adri Bruckner

- community & culture
November is a time to remember those who have gone before. In Hungary, Imagefamilies visit cemeteries, leave wreaths and flowers, light candles and talk about loved ones they’ve lost.
