Both left and right-wing commentators missed Romanian politicians at this year’s Fidesz summer university at Tusnádfürdő. A left-wing columnist, however, accuses PM Orbán of trans-border vote hunting while his pro-government counterparts believe that the electoral impact of the Hungarian diaspora will be miniscule.

The phenomena of 'ruin pubs' took hold of the Budapest nightlife scene a few years back.

- 24 Jan 2013 7:59 AM
- current affairs
Although the leaders of HÖOK insist that “student unity” is intact, I see it differently.
