‘During the Leaders’ Summit in Fontainebleau on 8 June 2025, PfE heads issued a joint statement in which they “reaffirmed their desire to work together to make Europe a continent of power, peace and freedom once again.” Leaders expressed their concerns that the “failed policies” of Brussels harm the European economy and competitiveness, and as a result, Europe risks losing its global influence.’
‘The losses and military failures suffered by the Tatars, most of which occurred in Hungary, are rarely mentioned among the reasons for their unexpected withdrawal from Central Europe…Since Hayton’s best-selling work in Europe attributed the stopping of the Mongols to the Austrian prince, the heroic resistance of the Hungarians was almost completely forgotten.’
A new national survey commissioned by MOL shows overwhelming public support in Hungary for renewable energy. 92 per cent want more state investment in green power, and 91 per cent back increased production. Support is especially strong for solar, wind, and geothermal energy, aligning with MOL’s $4 billion sustainability push.
‘Hungary views Uzbekistan as an important partner in Central Asia, while Tashkent, in turn, sees Hungary as a potential “entry point” into the EU economic space.

‘Although the Court has automatic jurisdiction over member states having ratified the Rome Statute, it cannot prosecute a crime if the states involved have not recognized its jurisdiction. Neither Russia nor Ukraine have accepted the ICC’s jurisdiction over the crime of aggression, the very crime with which the Russian regime is accused.’
According to Századvég’s report, 26 per cent of Europeans have missed at least one utility payment last year due to indigence, while the same number in Hungary is just 12 per cent. This, however, can change for the worse, they warn, if the EU’s proposed embargo on Russian energy comes into effect.
The EU plans to end all Russian gas and LNG imports by 2027, aiming to cut financial support for Russia and boost energy security. Measures target gas, oil, and nuclear imports, with national decoupling plans required. Hungary faces major costs—up to €3 billion—for refinery upgrades, infrastructure, and contract exits, though EU funds may offer partial relief.
‘In October of 2021, in the same elementary school, the homoerotic book, All Boys Aren’t Blue by George Johnson, was an approved book in the school library.
