I’m of Hungarian descent and I wouldn’t mind living in Budapest; it’s the European winters that I hate, summers are great though.
Even bad neighborhoods in Budapest are safe by American standards.
If you’re ever there stop by Lake Balaton for a few days. Clear blue water and it’s warm. And don’t miss the thermal springs, they are everywhere in the country.
Good for them. Get out of France while you can.
Hungary has a much better president than France, but so does Venezuela for that matter.
I wonder how hard it is for someone who doesn’t speak Hungarian to become a Hungarian resident or citizen. What if you speak English or German or French, etc. - Hungarian seems like a difficult language. One might be able to learn enough to get by but I don’t know if one could become fluent or near-fluent.
> Hungarian seems like a difficult language. <
It’s insanely difficult. Some people say that Chinese actually has more in common with English than does Hungarian. My grandparents were Hungarian, so I have a leg up. They spoke it around the house, and I picked a lot of it up.
But it’s like like anything. Hungarian can be mastered if you’re willing to take the time. Just avoid those near-worthless Hungarian vocabulary programs. They teach you the mysterious Hungarian words, but nothing about the grammar behind them.
It’s easier if you speak Finnish. ;)
threatening them with sanctions and fines…. Damn how much? It maybe much cheaper to pay the fine then allow illegals in which you end up supporting.
Rasis !!!
There was a time we did that too ...
Not to minimize it but it wasn't millions. About a million was the high estimate. There were previous massacres, too, but even if you add them, it likely would not reach two million.
Again: not minimizing it, just correcting the math.
What was that all about? How did I miss that?
Tagline.
Islam is simply incompatible with Western Civilization.
Why have locks on your doors if your aren’t going to protect the border of your nation?
I have Hungarian relatives too. Parents tell me they made a point of learning some because their parents obviously spoke it so the kids would not know what they were saying.
I have asked but am told it is mostly table manners and useless cuss words.
Bataclan
Some people were gutted where they lay
I read up on it and of course, there was no mention of that part. Just the shooting.

Yes. But I’m not crowing too much about Hungary’s success here. Hungary is fortunate to have Viktor Orbán as its leader. But I suppose that sooner or later some liberal will take power, and that Hungarian border fence will be taken down. Just like how Biden abandoned construction of Trump’s wall.
For the sake of Hungary, I hope I’m wrong.
