Right-Wing Extremism: Back by Popular Demand

While the far-right is indeed ascendant in several Eastern European countries, its threat is decreasing in Western Europe. That’s the conclusion of the Political Capital Institute’s Demand for Right-Wing Extremism (DEREX) Index.

Laszlo Lengyel: a third nationalist wave?

In countries that have experienced regime changes, an economic crisis could give birth to a third wave of nationalism. The middle classes could find themselves facing an existential threat. People who were winners until now will lose out. Modernisers, those who urge the country in the direction of Europe, people who work in high-tech professions and those who have taken out loans in Swiss franks - they could all lose their jobs, their savings and their networks of contacts.

"I hope Terezvaros's law enforcement authorities will start investigating"

Zoltan Illes, head of Fidesz's Terezvaros branch, and a professor in the environmental protection department at the Central European University, has brought a private prosecution against Terezvaros district council. Illes and his partner in the private prosecution, Zsofia Hassay, said at a joint press conference that "there are much more suspect property transactions in the sixth district than in the seventh district, and there is a suspicion that there was an attempt to cover this up." We asked Zoltan Illes for his opinion of the affair.

A Budapest Olympics

No serious leader can take seriously the idea of Budapest holding the 2020 Olympics: given Hungary's budget and global financial conditions, it would simply be an impossibly expensive prestige investment. The idea is probably being floated because a project on this scale makes available vast sums of money to the government that happens to be in power, money that can be distributed and spent on creating jobs and self-promotion. Politicians can use that money to keep their clients happy.

Peter Hack's route out of the chaos

The last two presidents had good reason for doing what many are now demanding of Laszlo Solyom. They agreed with the leaders of the various parliamentary parties on candidates for nomination to state offices. The approach Laszlo Solyom is taking to nominations is fine in legal terms, but in practice it doesn't work. But there is a way of dealing with this chaos.

Solving the Hungarian-Slovak conflict abroad

Hungarian-Slovak relations could be rebuilt from the ground up, but for as long as the Magyar Garda acts as cultural attache to our northern neighbours, and as long as Robert Fico and Jan Slota form our picture of the Slovaks and their thinking, then results are going to be scarce. And nor are people abroad very sympathetic to our position, argues Zoltan Novak, head of research at the Dignity Political Analyses Centre.

The NBH worried more about Bacsfi than about kuruc.info

For three years, the National Security Office's (NBH) official yearbooks said not a single word about far right groups, even though there was a time when both far right and anti-democratic left-wing groups had their place in the NBH's publications.

Pirates to buy government debt?

Pirates of the world, unite! Somalia isn't your true haven, and Citigroup isn't the big deal - Hungary is! Hungarian 'pirates' want to buy Hungary, and Hungarian debt. In the midst of a political war, a motion that appears to sanction money laundering as a state activity appears to enjoy five-party support, writes Andras Mozer in his newest editorial.

The golden age is over in the financial sector

Finance players make money both when things are going badly and when they are going well. But the crisis has brought an end to abundant money, and many believe that the golden age will never return. But what is in store for the financial services sector? We spoke with Chris Pickles, in charge of marketing for BT's global investment bank clients, who previously worked on the directive that regulates the EU's financial markets.

Laszlo Lengyel: Gyurcsany's virtual world

Ferenc Gyurcsany wanted to save the country long before he knew what was wrong. He was write to withdraw the budget and the new tax laws, though the decision came too late. But from that point on he should have focused on technical decisions, not on making statements. He has called a wholly unnecessary national roundtable, where no work will be carried out and no decisions will be taken. Most of the people who attend will have no economic expertise.

The summit of pointlessness?

It's easy enough to predict that Ferenc Gyurcsany announce serious spending cuts at Saturday's National Summit, citing the "crisis" as a reason, and it's just as predictable that the opposition will, citing that same crisis, dismiss all his proposals. Meanwhile, followers of both camps will attack each other, a couple of committees may be set up, and then everyone will go home. There will be no consensus.
