Hungary’s change of government was more than an electoral turnover. It brought millions of citizens into politics as active participants, but it may also be creating another dangerously unbalanced political system.

Autumn has arrived, and with it begins one of the busiest periods of the political year. Governments return from the summer break, parliaments resume their work, diplomatic meetings multiply, and unresolved crises once again demand immediate attention.

Hungary will find a way to manage the drought, but the real question is what solving one crisis will cost elsewhere in the country’s limited web of resources.

Iran is betting that time will weaken Washington before the midterms, while the Trump administration is betting that economic pressure will break Tehran first.

The Danube has fallen to a record low in Hungary, forcing the Paks Nuclear Power Plant—which normally generates nearly half of the country’s electricity—to reduce production dramatically. A complete shutdown may follow if water levels continue to fall.

President Tamás Sulyok has signed the Seventeenth Amendment, but whether it strengthens Hungarian democracy will depend on what happens next.

In a video commentary published by The Daily Signal, Victor Davis Hanson argues that the approaching US midterm elections are pushing Donald Trump towards a final military offensive against Iran—and a plan to transfer responsibility for keeping the Strait of Hormuz open to America’s allies.

Europe has no shortage of talent, wealth, or history. Yet despite its immense advantages, the continent is losing economic and geopolitical momentum. Why?

The Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), consecrated four new bishops on 1 July at its headquarters in Écône, Switzerland, despite appeals from Pope Leo XIV not to proceed.

The implementation of Hungary's EU reform package marks a decisive step towards restoring access to frozen European funding and redefining the country's governance framework.

Global oil prices have retreated to levels seen before the recent US and Israeli strikes on Iran, offering temporary relief to global energy markets despite continued geopolitical uncertainty.

Keir Starmer's resignation is not only the story of one prime minister's failure—it is another sign that British politics is struggling with deeper structural challenges.

Why This Matters: Any disruption in the Strait of Hormuz could lead to higher fuel and energy prices, increase the cost of everyday goods through inflation, strain NATO unity, distract the West from other global challenges such as China, and ultimately affect the economy and security of ordinary people around the world.

The ceasefire between the United States and Iran has brought an end—at least temporarily—to one of the most dangerous confrontations the Middle East has witnessed in decades.

The Hungarian Parliament has approved a constitutional amendment limiting any individual to a maximum of eight years as prime minister.

The election of the TISZA Party has brought a new political style to the Hungarian stage. While many of the country's political debates continue to revolve around familiar issues, Prime Minister Péter Magyar has introduced a different approach to political communication that - based on the polls - is particularly effective.

The new Hungarian government has launched a diplomatic effort to reset relations with Ukraine shortly after taking office. The move signals a broader attempt to improve ties with Hungary's neighbours following years of regional tensions.

After multiple warnings from Prime Minister Peter Magyar, Hungarian President Tamás Sulyok has refused to resign, allowing the deadline offered to him to pass. Magyar has told the press that the Tisza party will change the constitution to remove the president, while staying in line with the principles of the rule of law.

The Hungarian government has announced its intention to begin preparations for joining the Eurozone, signalling a long-term ambition to adopt the euro if economic and fiscal conditions permit. Under an optimistic scenario, accession could take place in roughly six years, provided Hungary succeeds in stabilising public debt, strengthening macroeconomic fundamentals, and meeting convergence criteria.

Against the backdrop of the U.S.–Iran war, a fundamental question is quietly resurfacing on both sides of the Atlantic: what exactly is NATO for? The conflict has exposed a widening gap between Washington’s expectations and Europe’s strategic priorities. While the United States reportedly expected stronger political and military backing from its NATO allies, European leaders have shown little enthusiasm for deeper involvement in the conflict.
