Dear readers,
To start the year well, the editorial staff offers you this interview by Youtuber Ego no with the director of the Visegrád Post, Ferenc Almássy.
In just under three and a half hours, Ferenc Almássy traces Hungarian history, from its origins to the present day.
Youtube description of the video:
Hungary has often been the subject of discussion in the city in recent years. Its prime minister, Viktor Orbán, is today an obstacle for the defenders of the “open society” and “minority rights”. Together with Poland, Hungary embodies something of a resurgence of “populism” or nationalism, it is said. However, what do we really know about this Western European country? With Ferenc Almássy, editor-in-chief of the Visegrád Post, we look in this program at the history and identity of this curious and fascinating country. Through a long interview, divided into three main parts, we address together the question of the origins of the Hungarian people, its national history, from the Kingdom of Hungary to the modern nation, and, finally, the “Orbán era” and the place of Hungary in contemporary Europe.
