Newsweek World's Best Countries: Hungary is 33th
August 19, 2010
Well-known international political weekly newsmagazine Newsweek has chosen for the main topic of its current double issue to the toplist of the World's Best Countries. Hungary was ranked 33th on the list, which, even in the opinion of the editors of Newsweek, is reflecting an American point of view. It comes as no surprise that the World's most popular countries are small (at least compared to USA), safe, predictable and have cold climate, thus the Nordic European states are over-represented in the top 10. Practically all other Central and Eastern European countries did better than Hungary: Czech Republic (25.), Croatia (28.), Poland (29.), Slovenia (24.) and Slovakia (31.) have all better positions, so the Hungarian comments to the list are not too enthusiastic. |

Orbán Out on a Limb: The Economist on the New Hungarian Government
August 6, 2010
"Orban out on a limb - Hungary’s new prime minister takes on the world": page 24 of the current issue of The Economist gives an analysis of the current political situation in Hungary. The newspaper strongly criticises the methods of prime minister Viktor Orbán and his staff, especially regarding the "cleaning" of all the state institutions and companies by replacing the leaders and controlling a vast majority of the media, also by means of the new Act on Media. The Economist also mentions opinions that are comparing the Hungarian prime minister to Vladimir Putin, especially because both are trying to stabilise by power and control instead of real reforms. The article states that - even if Hungary can survive this year without the help of IMF and the EU, in the long run a debt of 70% of the GDP cannot be managed without the help of International institutions. |

Orbán and the IMF Fiasco on Le Monde Front Page
July 20, 2010
Le Monde reminds the readers that the loan of IMF helped Hungary to avoid a state bankruptcy in the end of 2008. The journalists of Le Monde underline that it is dangerous for the "new team in power, the conservative Fidesz" to try to get rid of the obligations related to the debt. With Mr. Orbán choosing the South African World Cup over receiving the delegation of IMF before, and the current negotiation interrupted before its end in absence of agreement, it seems that Mr. Orbán is sending at least mixed signals towards IMF. IMF did not agree changing the budget deficit goal, and stated that the election promises of Fidesz regarding tax cutting would definitely endanger keeping it below 3 percent. Le Monde says Orbán is building a "Fidesz State", especially due to the delegation of his own men to key positions like Central Bank President. Le Monde finds this kind of politics unacceptable, especially as Hungary will soon start its EU presidency. |

All analysts agreed that the Hungarian government's hard attitude towards IMF is not acceptable, as the weakness of the Hungarian economy may result in the need for a further IMF loan soon, which might not be granted if the conflict sharpened. As predicted by the newspapers, Forint weakenedl significantly today, due to the incertainty caused by the "mixed messages" of the Hungarian government. |

Thirty years after the worldwide success of The Name of the Rose, Umberto Eco is writing a new book. The working title of the new novel, set in the nineteenth-century Europe of revolutions, is Il cimitero di Praga, unofficially translated to English as The Cemetery of Prague.

In another irresistible combination of danger, mystery and romance, Stephenie Meyer tells the devastating story of Bree and the newborn army as they prepare to close in on Bella Swan and the Cullens, following their encounter to its unforgettable conclusion. 'I'm as surprised as anyone about this novella,' said Stephenie Meyer. 'When I began working on it in 2005, it was simply an exercise to help me examine the other side of Eclipse, which I was editing at the time. I thought it might end up as a short story that I could include on my website. Then, when work started on The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide, I thought the Guide would be a good fit for my Bree story. However, the story grew longer than I anticipated, until it was too long to fit into the Guide.'

Business Week: Merkel's Choice - Germany or Europe
February 20, 2010
This week's issue of Business Week gives an overview on Angela Merkel's politics - whether or not she can find a balance between Germany's interests and the threatening crisis in the EU.
Business Week in the web shop of Hungaropress>> "Angela Merkel has no children of her own, but in the inner circles of her political party she is called Mutti—“Mom.” The 55-year-old German chancellor has managed to stay in power since 2005 by governing quietly, cautiously, and pragmatically from the center right of a country that prizes smooth cooperation among big business, big labor, and big government. Although supersmart—she earned a doctorate in physics as a young woman in Communist East Germany—Merkel likes to pose as an ordinary citizen, comparing her economic policies to those of a provincial housewife who simply wants to balance the family budget. She and Germany are well suited to each other. Now Merkel and Germany face a crisis, originating in dysfunctional Greece. As head of Europe’s biggest economy and the country that has ladled out billions to support the European Union, she has emerged as the key player in the drive to save Greece from default, stem the bond market attacks on the euro, and instill fiscal discipline in the euro zone’s weakest members." |
