  Visiting the Hungarian Parliament
By the time, forty years later, a law concerning the construction of a parliament was finally passed, the concept of parliament had changed dramatically.
The unanimous opinion of art historians and thousands of visitors alike is that the Parliament [73k] designed by Imre Steindl is one of the happy exceptions of historical eclecticism.
Finally in 1608 a law was passed to confirm the century-old common law, according to which the prelates and the barons sat personally in the upper chamber, while chosen delegates of the counties, the free royal cities, the free territories and the chapters conducted the business of the country in the lower chamber.

 The Hungarian Parliament by Andras Gero   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
András Geró presents the Hungarian parliament as a political establishment compelled to concede without alternatives to the Compromise of 1867, even at the cost of national sovereignty.
Instead of reflecting the opposition to the Compromise by the mainly ethnic Hungarian population, the parliament, supported by over represented ethnic minorities, ensured the status quo.
The financial situation of Members of Parliament was good, particularly after 1893, but they often benefited dishonestly from their position, regardless of laws against conflicts of interest.

Hungarians don’t usually understand how it is possible to confuse such widely diverging things, when indeed the anglophone ear and eye is more likely to pinpoint the consonants, and just sort of slide over the vowels.
When Dezső Kosztolányi, the Hungarian poet, compiled a list of the ten most beautiful Hungarian words, he could have had the foresight to choose only from those words that can be pronounced by non-Hungarians.
For Hungarians, English pronunciation is not exactly a cakewalk, and today’s Hungarian is full of loan-words from English like menedzser—‘manager’ or dzsessz—‘jazz.’ But Hungarians like words.

 Hungarian Declaration of Independence, April 1849
It was only necessary that it should not envy the Hungarians the moderate share of constitution liberty which they timidly maintained during the difficulties of a thousand years with rare fidelity to their sovereigns, and the house of Hapsburg might long have counted this nation among the most faithful adherents of the throne.
At the same moment the Hungarians gave an unexampled proof of their loyalty, by inviting the king, who had fled to Innspruck, to go to Pesth, and by his presence tranquilize the people, trusting to the loyalty of the Hungarians, who had shown themselves at all times the best supports of the throne.
Upon this the Hungarian ministers resigned, but the names submitted by the president of the council, at the demand of the king, were not approved of for successors.

 Hungarian Parliament passed the law on electronic freedom of information - CHALLENGE | Liberty & Security
Minister of Informatics and Communications Kálmán Kovács commented that the new law signifies the birth of a new right of freedom which makes Hungary one of the most progressive countries in the world as well as Europe with regard to the publicity of information of public interest.
The law also puts an obligation on ministries and municipalities to provide a forum on their websites where users can express their opinion regarding the draft bills published on the Internet, thus allowing citizens to participate in the legislative process in an immediate manner.
In order for legal security to be enforced it is not enough that the Hungarian Official Journal is freely accessible to everyone, for in many cases one act modifies several other acts, possibly taking effect on different dates, which makes the legal system incomprehensible for the citizen.
