Hongrie: un eurodéputé d’extrême droite ouvre un bureau en Roumanie

"L’objectif du Jobbik est la réalisation d’une autonomie hongroise en Transylvanie fondée sur le modèle italo-autrichien du Tyrol du Sud", a déclaré le député européen Csanas Szegedi, selon les médias locaux.

Selon le Uj Magyar Szo et le Kronika, des journaux hongrois de Transylvanie, où vivent près de 1,5 million de Hongrois, M. Szegedi veut, selon ses termes, "épauler les Hongrois de Transylvanie" et promouvoir "l’autonomie et l’extension de la langue hongroise sur tout le territoire roumain".

Hungary Warns of Greek-Style Crisis

“Fundamentally, Hungary’s economy is nowhere near the debt level of Greece, and it has more than enough money to service its debt, while I don’t think there is a data integrity problem,” he said. “But the government has shown itself to be a bunch of bunglers and amateurs when it comes to communicating with financial markets, and it will now face a challenge to convince the markets that Hungary is heading in the right direction.”

Hungary seeks to reassure investors

Next, the prime minister said through a spokesman that he supported the view that Hungary had only a slim chance of avoiding a Greek-style debt crisis, but that his government would act swiftly to avoid the Greek path.

This shocked financial markets on Friday and was seen as one of the reasons the euro fell to four-year lows, the Hungarian forint fell around five per cent and the Budapest Stock Exchange ended 3.3 per cent lower.

Hungary's Economic Woes Punish Euro

Mr. Szijjarto said at a news conference that Hungary's new government is "ready to avert the Greek road," but he added that "there is nobody in the country apart from the previous government who still says the budget deficit of 3.8% of gross domestic product can be reached." That is the IMF's target for this year.

Hungarian Gypsies face uncertain future

Caramel, whose nickname refers to the color of his skin, is among the few Roma Gypsies to have been able to escape rampant poverty after winning the Hungarian talent search show Megasztar, to become a megastar himself. The 28-year-old sang about life's challenges this weekend at a picnic for Roma and non-Roma in a Budapest park.

Landslide victory for Hungary's conservative opposition

Hungary's conservative opposition party Fidesz has won a two-thirds general election victory, second round results have confirmed.

A two-thirds majority will give Fidesz the chance to change the constitution, the BBC's Nick Thorpe reports from Budapest.

European Cybercriminals Open Letter

The European Cybercriminals Society (ECS) wishes to thank the European Commission for its recently published draft Directive on Child Exploitation.

...

In this context, we would like to draw your attention to the possible creation of a potential barrier to the single market. The United Kingdom will not only block websites accused of infringements of intellectual property, but also provide public information about the sites that it has blocked. This will give sites popular in the UK an unfair competitive advantage over other sites as it is quite clear that only the most interesting sites will be blocked. This is nothing less than state-sponsored advertising those sites to young people who are generally well able to circumvent blocking systems. Such state-sponsored support for certain illegal websites popular in one Member State is clearly unfair and a barrier to the single market for crime. We therefore urge the European Commission to introduce similar rules on an EU level as soon as possible, so that all European cybercriminals can obtain the same advantages.

Les cavaliers de la steppe hongroise

Les cavaliers de la steppe hongroise

La « puszta », une steppe située dans l'Est de la Hongrie, est réputée pour ses chevaux Nonius et ses cavaliers, les Csikos. Marie-Hélène Baconnet est partie à la rencontre de l'un des meilleurs d'entre eux, Attila Szekely. Sa spécialité : la position de la « poste hongroise », une figure qui consiste à se tenir debout sur la croupe des deux derniers chevaux d'un attelage mené à un train d'enfer. Une technique que très peu de cavaliers maîtrisent. Cette année, lors de la fête équestre, Attila défendra son titre de champion de la « poste hongroise à 5 chevaux ». Un challenge loin d'être gagné car Socrate, le plus fougueux des deux chevaux situés à l'arrière de l'attelage, s'avère très récalcitrant.
