One of the biggest holes in Europe’s armor was the former Yugoslavia, illegally invaded and partitioned by the Clinton administration, with a large Muslim population in Bosnia and heavy criminal organizations across the former republic that tie together the Russian mob, local gangs,...

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) – Hungary’s prime minister said Friday he does not support moving forward on negotiations on Ukraine’s future membership in the European Union, signaling again that his country could pose a major roadblock to Kyiv’s ambitions to join the bloc. EU leaders are to decide in mid-December whether Ukraine should be formally invited to begin talks to join the 27-member union, with Hungary seen as a potential obstacle. Unanimity among all member states is required to admit a new country into the bloc, giving Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán, a powerful veto.

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — People younger than 18 have been barred from visiting this year’s World Press Photo exhibition in Budapest, after Hungary’s right-wing populist government determined that some of its photos violate a contentious law restricting LGBTQ+ content.

In his seminal 1984 essay, “The Tragedy of Central Europe,” Czech author Milan Kundera describes Central Europeans as cultural descendants of ancient Rome and the Catholic Church who were “kidnapped and displaced” by the USSR after World War II. The hostages longed to break free from the talons of communism, shedding blood and tears for forty years. However, when the Iron Curtain finally fell, they were shocked to find that the West had lost interest in preserving all that had made its civilization exceptional. Post-communist countries like Hungary and Poland adopted liberalism as the state organizing logic only to discover...

The European Parliament on Thursday called for the Hamas terror group to be “eliminated” in a scathing rebuke of its devastating onslaught on southern Israel on October 7.

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban says the European Union (EU) has “legally raped Poland and Hungary” by “forcing through” a new Migration Pact which requires all EU member-states to make so-called “solidarity contributions” during times of high illegal immigration. Despite opposing EU border states’ policy of allowing boat migrants to land in Europe in large numbers, often facilitated by nonprofits funded by the German government, Poland and Hungary will now be required to take a share of the migrants, take over examining their asylum claims, or make “financial contributions” to provide for them.Orban has vowed to fight back against the...

The situation in Israel remains “extremely worrying”, with some areas practically in a state of war, Szijjarto said, according to a foreign ministry statement. The Hungarian government’s top priority in such a situation is to ensure the safety of Hungarians, he said. The government has established contact with hundreds of people, 215 of whom were evacuated on two aircraft of the Hungarian Air Force last night, he said. One plane then returned to Tel Aviv to rescue 110 more people, he added. All Hungarians who have asked for assistance in returning home have landed in Hungary or are en route...

A senior European source tells The Times of Israel that the decision announced earlier today by European Union Commissioner Oliver Varhelyi to immediately sever all EU aid to the Palestinians will not be implemented, due to opposition from member states. Varhelyi is a diplomat from Hungary, which takes a much more hawkish approach toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict than many of the 27 other members of the EU. The senior European source speculates that Varhelyi’s decision will be walked back tomorrow when the EU’s foreign policy chief Josep Borell meets with European foreign ministers.

Amidst harsh criticism of the Biden administration and Hawaii government officials for their response to the devastating and deadly Maui fires, the Hungarian government has reportedly stepped up to provide shelter for 250 Maui families.There had been ample warning of the serious risk of wildfires and millions of dollars available to spend on preparing for them.

BUDAPEST (Sputnik) - The United States’ demand to hand over the data of 900,000 Hungarian citizens living abroad is unprecedented and unrealistic, Hungarian Deputy Interior Minister Bence Retvari said on Sunday, adding that Budapest would not share the information to avoid putting its citizens in danger. The main reason why Hungary has not agreed to hand over the data is security concerns, he added. "Such a request for someone to hand over the data of several hundred thousand of its citizens is unprecedented, countries do not do this.

Vladimir Putin’s handling of a mercenary mutiny shows the Russian president remains firmly in control, Viktor Orbán said in an interview — putting the Hungarian leader, once again, at odds with his Western partners. “When it is managed in 24 hours, it’s a signal of being strong,” Orbán told Axel Springer, POLITICO’s parent company.
