Not a Hungarian Oddity: New School Year in Italy Begins with Mobile Phone Ban in Primary Schools

The decision to ban mobile phones was made by Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara in July. From September this year, students in kindergartens and the first five grades of primary schools are not allowed to use mobile phones, even for educational or learning purposes. Tablets, computers, and other technological devices may be used under teacher supervision. Hungary has also introduced a similar measure recently.

European Commission Candidates List Still Incomplete after Deadline for Nomination Elapses

At the end of July Viktor Orbán announced that he would nominate again Olivér Várhelyi, the former Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Policy. Hungary would retain the position in charge of enlargement policy in the new Commission, but this ambition may be thwarted. Currently it seems that the majority of Member States and the EP are reluctant to give Hungary any strong commissioner position, and many predict that Várhelyi will be given a hard time during his parliamentary committee hearing.

Kontroll: A Journey from the Depths

‘To discover this need to escape the darkness, one must first descend. One of the themes of Kontroll is descent, in both a literal and figurative sense. Another tale featuring this theme is La Divina Commedia (The Divine Comedy) by Italian writer and poet Dante Alighieri (1265–1321). In many ways, Kontroll is a re-telling of The Divine Comedy, with a message of redemption that can be applied to the individual, and to Hungary itself.’

Attempting to Solve the Crisis of Illegal Immigration in the U.S.

‘Most wishing to migrate to the U.S. are seeking a better life, contrary to the regional violence, corruption, and economic devastation in their home countries. If U.S. and Central American governments are able to institutionalize a ‘Marshall Plan’ as Washington had done for Europe after World War II, then perhaps a workable solution is possible. However, the U.S. needs to take the lead in this, though it would be unable to do so long as members of both Democratic and Republican Parties continue to childishly bicker with one another.’

‘The main reason why Africa has barely been affected by the demographic transition is to be found in its historical circumstances.

As a result, the typical consequences of adopting this model were significantly delayed in Africa.’
