Hungarian Conservative

Mexico and Hungary are connected not only by their similar flag colours, or their shared love for hot and spicy food. Their histories also intersected multiple times, one example being when a Habsburg archduke briefly ruled the Latin American nation.

Building community and connection, keeping the memory of 1956 alive, engaging the next generation of Hungarian Americans, advocating for the interests of the Hungarian ethnic communities in Europe and building bridges between Washington and Budapest: this is the mission that Andrea Rice Lauer and HACUSA tirelessly pursue.

‘It’s a bit overblown, this ‘Hollywood dream’ thing. All you have to do is work hard, that’s the secret. I am one hundred and ten per cent sure that nothing was in vain, and my dreams will come true.’
