Zsuzsanna Kossuth was Lajos Kossuth’s youngest sister, who, similarly to her revolutionary leader brother, was a devoted and selfless patriot. In April 1848 she set out to establish field hospitals to provide medical aid to soldiers wounded during the freedom fight, and she also created a large network of voluntary nurses.
‘It is evident that the international network—of which Direkt36 and De Tijd are integral part of—consistently criticizing the Hungarian government, is essentially accusing the Intelligence Office (IO) of doing its job, however absurd it seems.

‘Republicans should be especially concerned about their ability in the post-Trump era to retain gains in the Rust Belt, where the president-elect is uniquely popular among white working-class voters.

‘The inconclusive referendum held a few years after the millennium is still a blot on Hungarian social life. Thanks to a section of the Hungarian political elite of the time and a large number of misguided voters, that day became a day of national betrayal.’
Despite pervasive attacks from progressive networks and opposition media Balázs Orbán has successfully defended his doctoral thesis.

Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó of Hungary paid a visit to Moscow after the Biden administration put Russian Gazprombank on its sanctions list, hindering the energy-related transactions of many European countries.

Following their historic success in Sunday’s Romanian parliamentary elections, Hunor Kelemen, President of the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania, expressed optimism about the party’s chances of joining the next Romanian government. This marks a significant step in ensuring strong representation for Hungarians in Romania.
Despite insisting for months that he would not, US President Joe Biden issued a pardon to his son Hunter Biden on Sunday, 1 December. Hunter Biden was convicted on three felony counts of making false statements on a federal firearm purchase form and three felony counts of tax evasion earlier this year.
