Hungarian Politics
That's the name of a course I'm currently enrolled in. The one where the professor is running for mayor and thus can't hold class until after October 1st. Anyway, we were supposed to have a tour of Fidesz headquarters tomorrow morning (the Hungarian conservative party), but then I read the following line in an e-mail from a Hungarian student in charge of herding Americans to various events associated with the class:
"It sure that tomorrow we cannot go to any candidate, because of the civil war."
Civil war? I assume that Norbi is referring to the Prime Minister's admission in private and in very foul language (Hungarian is very good at that) that his party had screwed up and lied about it. A recording of his speech was somehow leaked to the Hungarian State Radio, naturally causing some unrest and storming of state TV towers, but fortunately the civil war is expected to end in the next couple days, since Norbi's e-mail also suggests that as early as Wednesday party headquarters will be ready to accept visitors.
