Conflicts with Brussels, utility cost cuts, symbolic debates. Just about every conflict of the past four years Viktor Orbán's administration went into was because of sovereignty and the shaping of a new framework for its interpretation.

The history of the New York Palace dates back to the 70s of the 19th century when a talented young man from Upper Hungary called Max Aufricht arrived to Budapest with a teacher’s diploma and a silver forint in his pocket.

We all know about Viktor Orbán’s infatuation with the spiritual in the last few years. Maybe I just don’t remember properly, but I can’t recall much piety in his speeches during his first premiership between 1998 and 2002.
