David Coulthard, former Formula One driver, now commentator, journalist and president of the British Racing Drivers Club, spoke at MCC Feszt in Esztergom on 29 July.

Experts at a policy discussion examined the political, economic and security implications of Ukraine’s accelerated EU accession ambitions, raising concerns about financial sustainability, institutional credibility and regional stability.

Hungary would be required to set up a 23,000-capacity migrant camp under the EU’s Migration Pact, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s chief domestic security adviser said, stressing that Hungary has chosen a different approach to migration.

‘ As the last three decades have shown, the EU’s migration and asylum policy is an abysmal and absolute failure.’

‘I do think that Irish people, maybe because of our colonial past, have this tendency to allow ourselves to be ruled by tyrants…Maybe it explains our love of the EU.’

‘That’s what I came away with, this idea of Hungarian identity. You can tell it’s motivated by a very deep love, and of identity, culture, history, of course, overcoming incredible struggles. And I did see a lot of similarities with Ireland, and it did make me sad to see how we went on such very different paths.’

What is the significance of the American military intervention aiming to capture President Maduro? What went wrong during the Chávez era? What will be the fate of the Maduro—and the Cuban—regime? The Hungarian Conservative asked the prominent Venezuelan opposition figure in Budapest about America’s capture of President Maduro and its political consequences for Venezuela.

‘Venezuela has become a stress test. And Europe’s response has exposed both its instincts and its inhibitions.’

Another Hungarian citizen has been released from prison in Venezuela, Hungarian Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó announced on Friday, saying a detained Hungarian woman was freed in the presence of Hungary’s honorary consul in Caracas. Budapest coordinated the operation with the Dutch consulate and US authorities following a recent American action in the Venezuelan capital.
