Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
  8. Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)

(This list may get expanded when necessary.)

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.

Hunagrian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán‘s policies caused an unprecedented brain drain as thousands of Hungarians left the country searching for better jobs and education. At a press conference at the European Parliament in Strasbourg on October 8, Valérie Hayer, President of the Renew group, said Orbán turns Hungarian reality about immigrants upside down because he cannot fix problems at home.

Hayer noted that the number of people leaving Hungary is at a historic point. Last year, over 33,000 Hungarians left their country because of the economic situation.

“This is the highest number since teen years ago,” highlighted Renew’s President.

“They left Hungary not for Russia or China, but for Western Europe,” she emphasised.

Hayer explained this occurred “because Orbán cannot fix problems at home. He can’t find a solution for low wages. To fix bad education or poor job perspectives”.

“Orbán is scaremongering to avoid attention for his failing Home Affairs,” underlined Hayer.

Crisis economics is all about scooping up distressed assets for pennies on the dollar. The rich have been profiting from nations failing since there have been nations.
