Travelling through Parallel Universes

Yesterday happened in Budapest 2 demonstrations. Same day, same place, but so extremely different that it is impossible to bring both into the same reality. One was held by a party that calls itself conservative, while the chairmen of the party of European conservatives spoke on the demonstration of those called leftwing by those “conservatives”. […]

Hungarian News temporary down and not working properly

My excuses for the technical problems that are occurring since Monday. As I wrote in a comment I suspected an automatic update of WP that occurred shortly after the last known comment having caused the loss of an entire post. This update was just a co-incidence. In fact the host provider exchanged servers and had […]

The Twelve Points

Freedom of the Press Accountable ministries in Buda and Pest An annual parliamentary session in Pest Civil and religious equality before the law National Guard Joint share of tax burdens The abolition of socage Juries and representation on an equal basis National Bank The army to swear to support the constitution, our soldiers should not […]

Messages

We discussed already the fact that the regime has abused the email addresses collected for getting corona vaccinations for spreading lies about the opposition. The highest civil court of Hungary, the Kúria, judged that this was illegal in campaign times. The minister for propaganda Rogán went to the constitutional court and the judges there declared […]

Protect the Children against Paedofidesz

Orbán on several occasions quoted the perhaps most stupid wording he demanded to amend his basic law with “mother is a woman, father is a man” just to end with the words “and leave our children alone.” Exactly this he doesn’t do, he doesn’t leave the children alone, Orbán wants neglecting children in favour of […]

The Consequences of Orbán’s State Prices

The entire world is currently suffering under high energy prices. The oil price is today at a level that only has been higher in 2008 and 2011. There is no shortage at this moment, enough crude oil is produced. The delivery around the globe is functioning. Also oil from Russia is arriving at the customers. […]

Friends are Friends

Our foreign minister and others yesterday were asked by telex about the friendship with Putin and Russia in parliament building ►HU. Szijjártó answered that before the war broke out the Hungarian nation’s interest dictated that a rational, pragmatic contact based on the national values of economy and energy security. But now there is war. “The […]

Orbán got a New Spineless Puppet

With the headline I insulted all women – according to Katalin Novák, Orbán’s new president. She declared ►HU: “those who say I’ll just be a puppet in this position are actually not underestimating me, but all women” in the regime press. I say her only qualification is that she will be a spineless puppet of […]

Orbán: Good Country where Good People live

This Orbán said in his “interview” on February 27th on state TV after the “interviewer” talked about the incredible help both government and people gave to the refugees from Ukraine. Fact is that the Hungarian state doesn’t do anything, NGOs, individuals and local governments are left alone and are increasingly overburdened. The villages along the […]

Hungary: the litmus test for democracy

by Joseph P. Forgas The last few decades saw the emergence of populist, anti-liberal political movements in a number of countries that have taken political scientists and psychologists by surprise. The rejection of the liberal democratic model is puzzling, considering that Western liberal democracies have produced previously unimaginable levels of freedom, justice, fairness, equality, prosperity, […]
