Hungarian climate policy affirms the possibility of climate-friendly economic development, where economic development is carried out in a sustainable manner in line with the requirements of climate protection.

As the EU Summit has finally come to an agreement regarding the Russian oil embargo, PM Orbán was able to secure a compromise to defend Hungarian national interests.

In Hungary, emissions decreased by 32 per cent by 2018 compared to the 1990 levels, which is more favourable than the EU average.

In the last decade, both Poland and Hungary have been actively formulating European policy; however, this duo is not strong enough without the active support of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It is also a warning sign that the loudest criticisms of Hungary and Poland can often be heard from inside the V4.

It is time to acknowledge that patriotism may indeed be considered a virtue, while liberalism tainted with globalism is a force that is out to destroy the nation state.

In 2020, a year in which poverty deepened due to the global pandemic, as opposed to the decreasing trend of the previous decade, the relative income poverty rate was 12.7 per cent in Hungary, compared to the EU average of 16.5 per cent.
