	Hungarian Elections: Russians Happy, Poles Feel Hurt
		Hungarian parliament, the National Assembly (Országgyûlés), is unicameral and consists of 386 seats.
		Some Hungarian observers tend to perceive the opening of the display as a definite gesture of the official Budapest addressed to Berlin.
		In difference from the 2005 elections in Germany and Poland, the Hungarian pre-election campaing factually did not touch the issue of the mutual relations between Hungary and Russia.

	Guardian \| Hungarian government to face confidence vote
		Hungary's main opposition party, the Fidesz-Hungarian Civic Union, appeared to have made major gains in local elections two weeks after the PM admitted he had lied about the economy to stay in power.
		The Hungarian president, Laszlo Solyom, had earlier accused the prime minister of undermining "trust in democracy", hinting that the coalition should choose a new leader.
		"Hungarians want to live like those in the west, but they are unwilling to adopt the western norms," he said.

	Hungarian Minority in Romania: Fighting for 5 Percent
		The Szekler Union was not allowed to participate in local elections in June, and, worse, the recently amended law on parliamentary elections confirmed that only those minority organizations already represented in parliament were eligible to run candidates, thus excluding the USR from November's parliamentary elections.
		The Hungarian Civic Union further distanced itself from the UDMR in early October when it began a petition drive to gather the 25,000 signatures required to run as a political party in its own right.
		In the Szeklerland county of Harghita east of Targu Mures, for instance, 85 percent of the population considers itself Hungarian, and all of the county's two senators and five lower-chamber deputies are UDMR members.

	Russia to Pay for Hungary's Reforms
		Contrary to neighboring Poland, where the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party managed to combine in its platform the religious-patriotic motives with promises to support socially weak layers of population and agricultural sector, the accent that Fidesz put on religious-patriotic motives in its pre-election campaign did not have any success.
		Besides that, the MSZP leader promised his countrymen to reduce the long-lasted budgetary deficit (6.1% of GDP), which is supposed to prepare Hungarian economy for the Euro-zone accession in 2010.
		Such source – a large-scaled one and guaranteeing a rapid income to Hungarian treasury – can be obtained from realization of a multi-billion package of proposals for economic partnership, presented by the Russian President Vladimir Putin during his official visit to Budapest in February 2006.

		Laszlo Solyom, the president, said that once the results were final, he would initiate talks with the parties in parliament to form a new government as soon as possible.
		Viktor Orban, leader of Fidesz-Hungarian Civic Union, the main centre-right opposition party, was quick to concede defeat and faulted the lack of unity among the conservative parties.
		The next government faces a tough challenge posed by a huge budget deficit - the largest in the European Union compared to the size of the economy - and mounting pressure from the EU for economic reforms paving the way for adopting the euro.

	Hungary risk: Political stability risk
		Hungarian public life is strongly polarised around a historically and culturally rooted split between the left and the right, now dominated by the Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP) and the Fidesz-Hungarian Civic Union (Fidesz), respectively.
		In the Hungarian context, the liberal Free Democrats are in effect on the left, because of their internationalist outlook--and perhaps more importantly because they decided to form a coalition government with the MSZP in 1994-98, a move that was heavily criticised and is still not forgotten by Fidesz, another former anti-communist opposition force.
		The Fidesz-Hungarian Civic Union (commonly known as Fidesz), the senior government party in 1998-2002, is the main right-wing force in Hungary.
