Hungary, 1976. Maybe you could caption this photo, "Dance like nobody's watching", but I don't think it needs any words. It speaks for itself.

Japan’s failure to engage strategically with Central Europe leaves it economically and diplomatically vulnerable as it struggles to balance ties between the U.S. and China. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/31/japan/japans-strategic-european-blind/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #hungary #poland #czechrepublic #eujapanrelations #hungaryjapanrelations #polandjapanrelations #trade #defense
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban wants his country to serve as a laboratory of far-right ideas and an inspiration for U.S. President Donald Trump, whom the nationalist describes as "a great friend." https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/21/world/politics/trump-orban-illiberal-model/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #hungary #viktororban #us #donaldtrump #republicans
The new chief executive officer of Hungary’s largest lender called for the adoption of the euro and for an end to ad-hoc policymaking under Prime Minister Viktor Orban that has sapped investor confidence and dented valuations.

Someone in #Ukraine Transcarpathia - where #Hungary minority lives - had just written “Hungarias to the knifes” (that is, slaughter them; in Ukrainian: Мадярів на ножі) on a local church.
The problem is, as usual, sloppiness of the paid idiots doing such provocations. There’s no way Ukrainian alphabet was native to the perpetrator, who couldn’t even properly draw the letters Д and Я, and visibly struggled with Ж.
In 2019 three Polish citizens from far right Falanga were charged with arson after they traveled to Ukraine and set Zakarpattia Society of Hungarian Culture on fire, pretending it was done by Ukrainian nationalists. The Poles were paid by Manuel Ochsenreiter, a German citizen who worked for Russians under guise of journalism (he later died in Moscow).

The Retro Museum in the city of Eger, Hungary 🇭🇺 is jam-packed with 20th century Hungarian and East-Bloc nostalgia, from prewar times to the late 90s.
It's small, but they have thousands and thousands of items on show, all setup with lots of love and care. Can highly recommend, it's great fun if you're into this kind of thing.
Of course it helps if you're Hungarian and recognize your childhood toys, and lots of other everyday items lost in time.

Advocates of liberal democracy tend to veer between triumphalism and fatalism nowadays. But neither perspective really captures the politics of countries like Poland, Serbia, Hungary, Italy and the United States. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/14/world/is-democracy-stalemated/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #hungary #poland #serbia #viktororban #karolnawrocki #democracy
⚖️ The rule of law is the cornerstone of our democracies.
Today we published the 2025 Rule of Law Report, assessing justice systems, anti-corruption efforts, media freedom, and institutional checks across all EU countries.
The Report shows progress but also highlights work still needed to protect our democracy, fundamental rights, and economy.
Together with EU countries, we are working to protect the rule of law for people, for business and for Europe’s future.
There is no rule of law in Hungary! Maja, a non-binary person who was abducted from Germany to Hungary, has been on hunger strike for over a month.
Instead of releasing Maja from custody, it is now being considered to insert a pacemaker into Maja in order to be able to continue the show trial! Act at last, Commission President von der Leyen!

Hungary has banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which essentially means Pride. Today over 500,000 people in Budapest turned up for a Pride march and told the government to: 'Fuck off!'.
That piece of shit Orban banned pride. This is what it looked like as a result. Fuck him.
