Hungary parliament passes Orban's Academy of Sciences takeover | DW News
Scientists in Hungary say authoritarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is trying to seize political control of their research. The Hungarian Parliament passed a law aimed at restructuring the Academy of Sciences. Academics have been protesting against the bill - as it gives power to the Prime Minister to appoint people to run some parts of the Academy. His critics say this will stifle academic freedom and cause a brain drain.

Hungary’s Homeless Ban | NowThis World
Homelessness just became a crime in Hungary … again.

Under the new ban written into Hungary’s constitution, homeless people caught living on the streets multiple times over a period of 90 days can face fines, mandatory public work, and even imprisonment. After several warnings, police officers are even allowed to destroy homeless people’s personal belongings.
But believe it or not, this isn’t the first time Hungary has enacted this policy – so, how did we get back here?
It started in April 2012, when, in the midst of a widespread economic crisis, the Hungarian government began enforcing a law that criminalized homelessness.
Unemployment and poverty were on the rise. In a 2010 survey on homelessness, 14% of respondents said they lost their home because they couldn’t pay their rent or other bills.
That might not be all that surprising, given what human rights groups say is just one part of a larger slew of human rights violations being committed under the Hungarian government.
Under Prime Minister Orban, the government has passed a law making it a crime to help refugees and asylum-seekers, cracked down on independent media, and banned gender studies courses from universities because quote, “people are born either male or female.”
The EU says the new homelessness law is one example of why it’s voted to sanction Hungary and potentially rescind its EU voting rights.

Hungary Is Locking Up Migrants In Shipping Containers To Stop Border Crossings (HBO)
A new law in Hungary sends a clear message to would-be-border crossers: Don’t even try.
The tough, new measure gives border authorities the power to detain asylum-seekers indefinitely and house them in converted shipping containers until their cases are heard. The country’s hardline Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, says it’ll save Europe. But the U.N. says it’s illegal.
At the height of the refugee crisis in 2015, as many as 13,000 people crossed the border in Hungary everyday. But now, few succeed. Currently, at least 8,000 refugees and migrants are stuck in Serbian camps waiting to cross into Hungary, which only allows 10 people per day to enter legally.

Siofok, Hungary-Stormy Lake Balaton
I was able to visit Hungary, the country I was born and raised.
It was nice to see the Lake Balaton in Siofok.
Stormy, but always beautiful.
