An in-depth interview with Péter Kiss, who came to America as a young adult, and after years of no contact with Hungarian Americans, visited the Garfield Hungarian Club almost by accident. Since then he has organized many events there, and also launched a podcast about the adventures of Hungarians in America.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán discussed the country’s economic outlook, European Union conflicts, and global political shifts in a radio interview. He emphasized the importance of strengthening the middle class, argued in defence of government policies, and criticized Brussels for its economic approach.
‘Students have moved from being political change agents to being themselves the object of political change. Rather than imposing their ideas on the world, they are to obey edicts from radical lecturers and diversity officers. To accommodate these developments, objective measures of what students know are replaced by more subjective measures of their own personal and psychological development.’

‘Christianity from its beginnings has presented something new with regard to political life: a certain indifference, if I may put it that way, to the political regime. That is, it enjoins rendering unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s, and hence obeying one’s rulers so long as they do not demand sin, especially idolatry. These injunctions are founded on the faith that the City of God rather than the City of Man is man’s ultimate destiny.’
Despite desperate efforts to capture the attention of the new US administration, Donald Trump’s foreign policy team does not appear interested in engaging with the European Union as a bloc.

‘Across various European nations conservative and right-wing parties have capitalized on issues like immigration, national identity, and dissatisfaction with traditional political establishments to gain substantial electoral support…without the epochal change on 6 November 2016 in the United States, these shifts in Europe would have taken much longer.’
Donald Trump took an unexpected step on Monday by ordering dozens of senior officials at the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to go on administrative leave.
