A new law is scheduled to take away the independence of the Hungarian Academy of scientists. The aim is to get further EU money into the government's and its friends' hands.

A new filth campaign - in the form of posters posted in the streets - has been launched by the Hungarian government, this time adding Mr Juncker to Hungarian-American billionaire, George Soros as the target of the defamation.

A Hungarian company, Elios Zrt. previously owned by István Tiborcz, the husband of PM Viktor Orbán's eldest daughter, was granted a multimillion euro EU funded project replacing streetlights for LED ones across the country. OLAF, the EU's anti-fraud organization found serious irregularities and conflict of interest problems with the project.

Hungarian authorities are urged to – among other things – refrain from anti-migrant rhetoric and campaigns, to leave the independent press alone, allow equal opportunities to women, and to stop the detention of asylum seekers at the country's border.

An open letter was written by a Budapest based NGO helping refugees and asylum seekers in Hungary.The letter is adressed to all Hungarian mayors, following a series of scandals where locals brainwashed by the Orban governments propaganda protested against refugees spending a few days holiday in their village.

Land grabbing, the name given to large-scale land acquisitions practiced by companies, governements and individuals in developing countries, deprives local and mostly poor people of their homes and their access to natural resources they normally use, while there is little accountability and no global regime or standards controlling it at all, says Alexios Antypas, an associate professor at the Department of Environmental Sciences and Policy of Central European University in Budapest in this interview with freelance journalist Gabriella Horn.
