The Owner of Hungary Raiding the Enemy of the State

Putin’s invasion into the separatist areas of Ukraine will undoubtedly be discussed today. From the Hungarian point of view I can’t report a lot. Orbán, up to now declared that his visit to Putin earlier this month was a peace mission, now he reacted with “I talked to the President of the European Council over […]

Incompetence or Robbery?

There is no doubt, the fuel prices went up a lot the last year. Crude oil did not go to historic heights yet, in 2008 the price went up to a more than 50 % higher level compared to today, followed by a hard drop though the banking crises. A bit more than a year […]

Some Personal Impressions

Today I want to do something very different. No review of things I collected from different news outlets, or social media, or other public sources, today I would like to write about a personal experience. Yesterday afternoon Péter Márki-Zay held a gathering in Szekszárd, not too far away from the place I live and although […]

Szijjártó’s Black List

Everybody expecting that our foreign minister could be a decent man, able to act according to diplomatic customs, has been proven being wrong since long. Just now he proved again how much he is going forward into the wrong direction. He will blacklist ambassadors if their behaviour could make fraud attempts during the elections more […]

Vote out the Sick World of the Szájers, Borkais, Kaletas

Called Péter Márki-Zay yesterday afternoon. I for my part miss the boss, the creator, and the high priest of that sick world: Viktor Orbán. It is the time of the year in Hungary the évértékelő is held, the evaluation of the year, which is here not limited to the head of government or state like […]

A Political Verdict?

As we all might have heard the unavoidable happened, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) dismissed Orbán’s trial against the rule of law conditionality, the same happened with the Polish trial, which was invoked separately. The rule of law was since many years a concern of the EU. So the idea grew that only countries […]

The End of Free Transylvanian Press

Today I would like to start with a quote of Éva: An editorial in Transindex made fun of the description of Tusnádfürdő as the “center of the universe,” as a banner behind the speakers proudly announced. Moreover, it seems that God also had something to do with Tusnádfürdő: Zsolt Semjén attributed to divine will the […]

Divide et Impera or Orbán the Dog Lover

We should not delude ourselves, our only choice in April will be whether Hungary will go further down the same old road or if we want a way out. It is not the choice as the French will have in April as well electing their president among a huge group to be filtered down and […]

Is Péter Márki-Zay prepared for governance?

I covered the very 1st Partizán 60′ interview with Ákos Hadházy, yesterday evening Péter Márki-Zay was the guest of Márton Gulyás. The interview was titled: Is Péter Márki-Zay prepared for governance? ►HU With the fact that Unity for Hungary of course is talking since 6 weeks about different key parts of the program, but we […]

If I can’t rob them I’ll leave the EU

Already last year Orbán ordered from his media empire to test out the public reaction on the suggestions to leave EU. His most important “political commentator” took the case seriously, as Éva reported in detail ►EN. The reaction from the population was pretty negative, so Orbán decided not to talk further about. Next Wednesday the […]
