The Apes Are Bored

Bitcoin became legal tender in El Salvador this September. It’s what the faithful had predicted for several years, that not just individuals and businesses, but countries would drink deep of the original cryptocurrency. On the global scale, it matters little, but the legislation in El Salvador is an important test of whether Bitcoin can really function as a ‘remittance’ tool and can be useful on an everyday, going-to-the-corner-shop level.

Hungarian law on the protection of minors vs. European Commission: chronicle of a clash foretold?

Is there a firm legal base behind, as many claims, the ideologization of the EU? How did phrases like "European values" or "non-discrimination" become captive to certain ideologies instead of remaining decisive points of unity for the European community?

Is it still early for a V4 high-speed railway network (or are we already late)?

The publication of the preliminary feasibility study about the construction of the possible Hungarian sections of a future high-speed railway (HSR) line connecting the major cities of the Visegrád Four states has stirred up a lot of dust in the quiet summer holiday season. The case has been of concern to the public ever since V4 ministers decided in 2018 to explore the possibility of establishing an HSR link across the region. In the following, I address the issues most frequently raised by the Hungarian and international press in relation to the initiative, with the intention of listing open-minded and debatable arguments supporting the realization of Central East Europe’s most revolutionary transport project.

The EU can break a member state if it chooses to

The EU can inflict murderous financial punishment on states who don’t implement rulings of the European Court of Justice. This instrument has never been used to really hurt a member state – but legally, it can. Poland may soon become the first country to feel the pain. The political consequences could be disastrous for all concerned, including the EU itself.
