Hungary has a history of 1.100 years and is one of the oldest states in Europe, older even than France or Germany. The Hungarian tribes, the Magyars, conquered the Carpathian Basin, the present territory of Hungary in 896.

Pros and Cons of working from home - Financial freedom or the safety of your Comfort Zone?
✔ So you are fed up with the 9-5 rat race? You had enough of early morning congestion on the bus, the metro or the roads?
✔ You dream of firing your boss and becoming your own master? You are desperate for financial freedom and to earn a sustainable income?
✔ But you don’t know where to start?
✔And it scares you to the core to give up the financial safety that your pay check gives your family month in and month out?
If you are still contemplating to quit the 9-5 rat race please find below some Pros and Cons of setting up a business from home.
Cons
● Lack of the relative safety of a pay check received regularly at the end of each month. It may give you a peace of mind that your basic expenses are covered, but on the flip side it condemns you to mediocrity and holds you back to excel in your abilities and make your dreams come true.
● You will have to do all the work. Especially at the beginning setting up your own business will require extra efforts and time. So you may end up working more than when you had worked for someone else.
●The quality of your performance will directly affect your income. You won’t be able to blame anybody else when due to your fault you lose money or a client.
● Business operations entirely depend on you. In case of an emergency i.e. sickness or other unexpected incidents, or going on a holiday will arrest work, thus stop the flow of revenues.
● Working from home tempts you to work long hours which can adversely affect your work life balance.
● Loneliness, lack of direct communications with colleagues can be discouraging.
● You must have discipline, commitment and focus on your business to avoid the manifold distractions that might influence you in a home environment i.e. kids and family, TV, internet, social media, household matters, taking vacation etc. and keep yourself motivated

INTRODUCTION
The global drop shipping market is growing at an outstanding rate, valued at $102.2 billion USD in 2018 and expected to hit a compound annual growth rate of 28.8% between 2019 and 2025.
The major driving forces behind this exceptional growth are an increased preference for online shopping, and the rising trend of cross-border e-commerce trade. The rising market share of smartphones, along with increasing consumer disposable income, promotes the growth of the e-commerce market, and drop shipping in the wake of it.
Launched in December 2017, HYGO quickly became one of the biggest Shopify drop shipping stores in general gadgets because they offer a wide range of products at discounted prices and frequently update and expand them. They make videos to showcase their products and a review of each product accompanied by photos. HYGO’s partnership program includes affiliates and influencers.
In December 2017, Marc Chapon quit his full time job and took a plunge into ecommerce. In less than a year, he made sales worth 60 thousand dollars per month. Here’s his tips to build a sustainable and scalable drop shipping store.
Facebook groups, YouTube videos, courses on the Internet - all to help you develop your e-commerce business.
You will need about $1000 to set up a Shopify store, and run Facebook ads.
Using the drop shipping model you don’t have to spend on inventory. Through Spocket he could find products and launch his store at no upfront cost.
There are no saturated niches. Choose one or more products you are passionate about. Know everything about them. Then do an exhaustive research about your competitors, the amount of traffic they generate. Check the amount of revenue the niche produces and its profitability. A sustainable business is possible if you choose a niche that is persistently doing well.
Marc loved animals, had a dog and cat of his own and knew the needs and problems of dog owners. Products for dog lovers were trending and so, after some research, He chose dog-centred products as the theme of his store. The traffic was great, and a reasonable profit seemed viable. Once He had extensively researched the niche, He picked and chose everything dog related.
Competitor research revealed who his competitors were aiming at, and what they were doing effectively. He studied the lifestyles, characters and attitudes of his potential customers. They came from the US or Europe, aged 21-65, fancied following dog accounts on Instagram and made their purchases at PetSmart. This was perfect for a start. He kept testing and experimenting as time passed by.
He needed manufacturers from the US and Europe, with great products and fast shipping. A simple Shopify search led him to Spocket. They had a suitable collection of dog bracelets, tags and necklaces to be shipped from the US. The profit margin was also fair. He found customizable products, too.
25-50 amazing products worked well for him.
He made sure to work with suppliers He trusted entirely. Winning products are a mixture of the right product, the right audience and the right marketing.
Social media ads are the most effective tools for your store to generate sales: a large number of people can be reached relatively fast and it’s not expensive (Facebook, Instagram)
Add value through community forums such as Quora or post on Pinterest – to raise brand awareness.
Marc’s final tips:
Be organized and keep your finances in order.
It was hard. But it is possible.
I made countless mistakes along the way, admitted them, and corrected myself.
I tried new things every day, tested new ideas and was determined to make it.
Anyone can build a successful ecommerce store through drop shipping.
At the beginning of 2019 Erin quit her full-time job and built a drop shipping business on her own. Within a few months, she generated nearly $70,000 per month—per store. How did she build an extremely successful drop shipping business from scratch?
She doesn’t recommend venturing for a general store because it is extremely difficult to engage the right customers.
Using Shopify apps helped with her business a great deal. The customer support was outstanding and building her store was straightforward.
She made sure all return policies, privacy policies, contact information, legal information and FAQs are accessible on every page so that customers could see her as a legitimate business.
She had installed Spocket because was instantly hooked by USA drop shipping suppliers and branding. She found a lot of products matching her stores and with good profit margins.
Her ecommerce marketing strategy constitutes one of the clues to her success, and it can be summed up in three words: Personalised Sales Conversations. She used social media to find her target market. She initiated conversations with the people. She would research groups and hashtags on Facebook, Instagram and other media. These conversations are by all means personalised, with her individually recommending them products.
In time she gathered a team of equally passionate people around her to share the workload.
She has loved Snapchat and Instagram ads from the beginning, but nothing can be better than directly talking to people.
As a supplement to her unique, personal marketing she makes her brand stand out with freebies added to customers’ orders, notes and postcards in her own handwriting.
Additional marketing tools she uses are social proof by way of UGC, Influencer Marketing, Email Marketing, and Uniform Shipping Rate.
She highly recommends to incorporate your business - It releases personal liability, it lends your business a sense of professionalism and is a perfect tax strategy!
Make all your conversations with your customers personal—be it as sales or support or marketing. Text messages has proven to be a great strategy in recovering 50% of abandoned carts.
Donating to a cause is a complete win-win. It should be something you really care about.
Shopify apps recommended
SaveMySales SMS/MMS Marketing – for abandoned cart messages
AfterShip Returns Centre
Apps that allow bulk-editing, sticky-carts, adding trust badges and creating product videos
Erin wants to help other entrepreneurs to set up a drop shipping business through conversations.
This highly lucrative market attracts a growing number of merchants, as well as suppliers.
Drop shipping involves selling of products through online stores where the retailers do not keep an inventory. The retailer passes on the orders from the customers along with shipment details to the supplier (manufacturer, wholesaler) who then delivers the goods directly to the customer.
Prerequisites of a successful drop shipping business are Efficient Marketing, and a Sustainable and Scalable Drop shipping Store.
Meowingtons gradually developed their brand by designing a cute cat logo, expanding their cat product lists, and setting up social media channels prevailed by charming cat photos. To develop their own customized product lines they have entered into partnership with a local cat cafe and a foster home for abandoned cats.
District of Clothing is a print-on-demand success story started out as a side project in 2014. Yet in 2016, it yielded $29K of extra income. Valid messages conveyed by their products, updated product designs of late, and viral marketing campaigns benefitting influencers and story-telling constitute the secret of their success.
Warmly is a niche drop shipping store selling furniture and decor accessories for the home. Their revenue is estimated between $566,000 and $1,100,000 per month, which is remarkable for a store younger than 2 years old. It’s unique that most of their traffic comes from a less popular social media site: Pinterest. Their market philosophy is “Know where your niche is located and focus there. Don’t be afraid to invest in the unpopular channel.”
Notebook Therapy are into Japanese-inspired stationery, gadgets, and tote bags, mostly focusing on young women. Their sales are estimated between $350,000 and $700,000 per month. They massively invest in social media. Customers’ hearts are won over by their store design, charming illustrations, bright colours, free worldwide shipping and a 30-day return policy. They hold it essential to customize your store to your market’s preferences and that customer experience is key.
Kamil Sattar, also known as “The Ecom King” is a British E-commerce entrepreneur. At 20, he has gathered an annual sale of $3,000,000.
Clue to his success? The keywords are resoluteness, tenacity, concentration, consistency, hard work. He decided to master drop shipping and was ready for all it took. Dropped out of college, quit his part time job, reckoned with his toxic friends, set up a daily routine and clung to it every single day until he encountered success.
One of his winning products was the privacy phone screen, and he created a one product store to market it. After 11 months of adjustments and scaling, he boxed 1 million in revenue making 24% net profit. He also ran a Christmas store selling gifts ranging from children’s toys to beauty products.
He reinvested the money into more mentors and courses, learnt different marketing strategies like YouTube ads, Bing ads, Google ads, Tik Tok ads, Facebook ads and strategies and updated his skills regularly.
Also, his ability to quickly adapt and implement solutions served as a key factor for his success.
For example, due to the pandemic, consumers’ buying behaviour has changed and Kamil changed course to sell products that suit their demand.
Kamil’s tips to those starting out as drop shippers
Break up great goals into weekly tasks and focus on them independently.
Kamil markets his products with Tik Tok influencers in a fun and entertaining way. In his opinion, Twitter and Tik Tok are the best marketing platforms right now.
Within 8 months Irwin Dominguez from San Diego garnered $1,000,000 in profit as a drop shipper. On his best day of e-commerce, he pulled in a cool $30,000 and on average pulls in $10,000 a day.
He started out
Learning about e-commerce online
Opening a Shopify account
Importing products into his ecommerce store from drop shipper Oberlo platform
He made his first sale using Facebook ads and attributes most of his success to that marketing tool. However he calls the attention of beginners how important it is to balance the cost of ads with profit margins.
His quest is for winning niche products, new products in the same niche or in an entirely different one.
Kyle Borawski started his webstore back in his senior year of college, and had continued to develop his store after his graduation in May 2019. He raked in over $224,923 in sales from August to October 2019.
Cornerstones of his marketing strategy:
1. Quality: Products you want to sell should be of high quality. Be assured of quality of goods found on Spocket.
2. Manufacturer: Look for trustworthy and competent drop shipping suppliers.
3. Communication: Make sure the drop shipping suppliers are good at communicating, are trustworthy and reliable. Spocket has a supplier page where you can check the order fulfilment success rate for every supplier.
4. Ethics: You want to create a brand that can last forever. “You’ve got to always think about the customer.”
Conclusion
Kyle, Erin, Marc, Sattar and all the others in the article who have become successful drop shippers came from different backgrounds, lived in different circumstances, had different levels of knowledge of ecommerce and online marketing and different amount and quality of experience. Yet they all have a common denominator what made the difference for each one of them. These heroes made a resolute decision to acquire the knowledge and expertise that would allow them a financially independent lifestyle and make them able to pursue their dreams, come what may. They all relentlessly attended online courses, webinars, conferences, read blogs, eBooks, and books and did research. They were ready to pay the costs of their success. They did not run away when faced challenges and took on the sacrifice needed. They had no plan B. Their perseverance, consistency, hard work paid off at the end, though none of them knew how long it would take when they started out. They never gave up. And you should not either!
Make a firm decision and stick to it! Be focused and consistent! Persevere! Educate yourself continually! You will make mistakes along the way, but don’t bother! Think of Edison! He did not fail a thousand times before inventing the light bulb. He just learned a thousand other ways it didn’t work.

A Brief Introduction
You might be a busy bee at work having only a few days to get away and relax. You are puzzled where you could make the most of it at this time of the year.
Budapest is the perfect European city break. You will find there everything – breathtakingly beautiful architecture, an amazing and very special nightlife, lovely food, and best of all everything at affordable prices.
The city is very safe, just right for a solo trip too. And then you can get soaked in magnificent thermal spa baths giving it another edge over other European cities. The three most popular baths are Szechenyi, Gellert and Kiraly.
Geography
Hungary is a landlocked country in central Europe (area: 35,919 square miles or 93,030 square kilometres), bordered by Slovakia to the north, Ukraine and Romania to the north east and east, Croatia and Serbia to the south, and Austria and Slovenia to the west.
Relief is mostly flat; the Great Hungarian Plain is a productive agricultural area.
The Danube River which is Hungary’s largest river cuts the country in two. It touches 10 countries and covers nearly 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometres), before it joins the Black Sea.
Lake Balaton is the largest freshwater lake in Central-Eastern Europe. Hungarians call it the “Hungarian sea”.
Average depth is 3.2 metres, so during the summer heat, the water surface gets heated up quickly.
It makes Lake Balaton a popular holiday destination, an ideal place for bathing, water sports, dabbling of children that entices holiday-makers from every part of the world.
Lake Hévíz as one of the largest thermal water lakes in the world can also be found in this area.
History
Hungary has a history of 1.100 years and is one of the oldest states in Europe, older even than France or Germany.
The Hungarian tribes, the Magyars, conquered the Carpathian Basin, the present territory of Hungary in 896.
The Ottoman Turks subjugated Hungary in 1541 and ruled the country until 1699, when with the help of neighbouring Austria, they were expelled. Turkish rule was replaced by the Habsburgs (Austrian). In the end Hungary joined the Austro-Hungarian Empire with equal rights in 1867.
After World War I in 1918 the empire disintegrated. Hungary was among the losers of the war alongside Germany, Austria and Italy. 2/3 of its territory and 60% of its population were dispossessed by the victorious powers, USA, Great Britain and France.
In World War II, from 1940 to 1945 Hungary again took the wrong side alongside the Axis powers—Germany, Italy, and Japan—. The Soviet Union delivered Hungary from German occupation but stayed in the country as invaders inflicting communism on the people.
In 1956 the Hungarian people rebelled against Soviet oppression, but the revolution was crushed.
In the end Hungary has gained back its sovereignty in 1990, when first democratic elections were held and the Soviet troops withdrawn eventually.
Government - What They Are Not Telling You About Hungary
Hungary has been a democracy for 32 years only. It became the member of the European Union in 2004.
Hungary is a parliamentary republic. The parliament is the supreme legislative body. The head of state is the president, elected by the parliament. He/she is commander in chief of the armed forces but otherwise has limited authority.
The prime minister, directly elected by the electorate is the head of government, responsible for running the country.
For the last 14 years the coalition of right-wing, conservative, Christian Democratic parties has been in power. There have been rumours ever since that Hungary is an autocracy, violating the rule of law, human rights and democratic principles.
Independence of the judiciary, freedom of expression, the rights of refugees and minorities have also been questioned. These allegations, however, have never been justified.
To the contrary, Hungary is a thriving democracy with unprecedented media pluralism unknown in the West (ratio of pro-government and opposition media is roughly 50-50%).
Everybody can freely express their political views without the fear of being intimidated.
Hungarians love their country, history and traditions. They are very welcoming and hospitable people. Visit the country and experience it for yourself.
See for yourself how the Hungarians live, and enjoy peace, safety and security unimaginable in the West today.
The country is facing numerous challenges, but the Government and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán are relentlessly fighting for the welfare of the Hungarian people and Hungarian interests.
Automobiles, electronics, and pharmaceuticals are the key industries in Hungary. Agricultural production of wheat, corn, sunflowers, and many other in-demand crops is substantial.
Culture
The Hungarian Government has always been ready for negotiations and settlement of disputes. Since 2010 the Christian Democratic, Conservative, National parties have won the parliamentary elections by a 2/3 super majority 4 times. It’s the most authentic evidence that the overwhelming majority of the Hungarian people are supporting the policies of their government.
The economy has been thriving, indeed. Record number of investments, GDP growth, export surplus and employment were achieved. At the same time level of taxation is the lowest in the EU.
The criticism concerning Hungary is of political nature. The right-wing, Conservative, Patriotic government’s policy of Hungary is different from that of the Western Liberal Mainstream. Hungary is more successful economically and as far as societal peace is concerned than other member states of the European Union.
Public spas are very popular, Hungarians have been soaking for centuries. The soaking traditions stem from the country’s hundreds of natural hot springs. Budapest has the most thermal water springs compared to any other capital city in the world.
Some of the well-known ones in the city are the Szechenyi, Gellert, and Kiraly Baths. Across the country, you can find more than 1,500 thermal spas.
Soaking in a thermal bath is one of the best things you can do in Hungary.
The most popular and famous dish is goulash, a thick beef soup cooked with onions and potatoes.
Halaszle, a rich fish soup is also favoured.
Most famous dessert is chimney cake.
Traditional folk music plays an important part in Hungarian culture.
Hungarians also excel in classical music. Béla Bartók and Franz Liszt are two well-known composers.
Hungarian language is very unique. Foreigners say probably it’s the language of Heaven because it takes an eternity to learn it. It’s not similar to any languages. Closest relatives are the Finno-Ugric languages, Estonian, Lapp and Finnish.
Fun Facts
•There are 1300 thermal springs, 22 wine regions, 10 national parks, and 8 UNESCO World heritage sites in Hungary

• Budapest was incorporated as a major city when three cities merged in 1873—Buda, Pest, and Obuda
• There is a train in Budapest that is almost entirely run by children ages 10 to 14. Kids must do a four-month training course to become conductors, inspectors, and workers. The only adults working there are the station master and the adults that drive the train
•There are no buildings in Budapest that are taller than 96 meters. The Hungarian Parliament building and the Szent Istvan Basilica, are the tallest ones and both exactly 96 meters high. 96 meters is symbolic —it represents the years when the Magyars came to the area, in 896

WELCOME TO HUNGARY!

Hungary is one of the oldest nations in Europe. More than 1000 years ago the Hungarian tribes migrated from the East and founded the Hungarian State in the Carpathian Basin. Our first king Stephen asked for a crown from the Pope in Rome. Hungary has been a Christian nation ever since.
Hungarian government policy is not even close to the globalist agenda flooded all over by the mainstream media and the Left.
It rejects critical Marxism of good reason – we still remember the Communists crippling the nation for 40 years.
Government policy is based on Biblical values: marriage is between a man and a woman. Transgender propaganda for minors is banned from kindergartens and junior schools. Same sex relations are free to exercise, but marriage is not allowed. For the protection of our kids the Hungarian Parliament has recently passed a law.
Government policy is for normality, no woke ideas or cancel culture practices are promoted. Memorial sites destroyed during the II. World War are being restored rather than torn down.
Hungary is at odds with the liberal mainstream as far as immigration and open border policy is concerned._
_
Hungary is for limited, regulated immigration – Globalists are for open borders
Hungary is for ethnic national identity, Christian democracy, – Globalists are for mass migration, multiculturalism
The Hungarian government is Sceptical of global governments like EU – Globalists are advocates of federalism, United States of Europe
Viktor Orban is courageous, fought communists as a student leader – Gyorgy Soros major political opponent of the PM is a coward, collaborated with the Nazis in confiscating properties of Jews deported to concentration camps
Hungary uniquely pursues the policy of peace in relation to the war in Ukraine. We have welcomed 1,5 million refugees We supply humanitarian aid but not weapons, ammunition or soldiers. The Hungarian ethnic minority in Ukraine are conscripted to the army and dying. The war going on in a neighbouring country severely affects our economy and population.
The insane sanctioning of Russia has caused bigger damage to the Europeans than to the Russians. The Russians have made more money by selling gas and crude oil to China, India and the West thwarting the sanctions.
Oil and gas prices, inflation in Western Europe have been through the roof resulting in social tensions. Hungary has always been against insane sanctions and initiated sensible solutions, connectivity with Russia and China rather than so-called decoupling.
When in 2004 Hungary joined the EU, it was a completely different organisation. It was about mutually favourable economic collaboration among the member states.
Back then, the state recognition of gender reassignment, or even gay marriage, was not a common European value, and support for mass immigration was not a condition for EU funding.
In the meantime, EU has grown into a political institution with a leftist majority in the European Parliament and other EU institutions. They try to force their leftist ideology on all member states by way of unlawful blackmailing, double standards and political pressure.
Hungary and Poland were falsely convicted of being a dictatorship, having no freedom of press. At the same time several MEPs have been arrested and jailed on corruption charges.
Hungary is often labelled as autocratic, populist by the enemies of democracy in the West: Deep State, Open Border policy in USA, NGOs in Western Europe, biased far-left globalist media. In fact, we are a well-functioning democracy.
We don’t just talk about democracy, but deliver. It’s very easy to expose these lies: Come to Hungary and experience firsthand the world renown Hungarian hospitality and our ways of life. You are most welcome!
Leftist transnational political ideology kidnapped European integration. Lack of respect and common sense, applying double standards, unlawful blackmail and political pressure to force the Globalist ideology on every member state characterize EU functioning today.
One crystal clear example of it is withholding due EU funds from Hungary. Ursula von Der Leyen, leader or the EU Commission admitted recently that the real reason why Hungary was not going to get the due funds is it’s rejecting to let illegal migrants in the country and LGBTQ activists into kindergartens and junior schools.
By this admission Brussels have exposed that in fact it had never had so called rule of law problems with Hungary they used to parrot for years. Brussels has no right to block the money due to Hungary. The issues of illegal migration and LGBTQ rights constitute national competence and have got nothing to do with funds. Using those as an excuse to withhold our money is breaking EU laws.
They hate us and behave in such an unacceptable way because can’t swallow our successful right-wing, Christian democratic and National policies. They are scared to see a thriving alternative to Western Globalism. They wanted to overthrow our government by way of rolling foreign money to the opposition. Thankfully unity of the nation has made their attempts fail._
Hungary is a beautiful place. Some say Budapest is the most wonderful city in Europe. It’s full of historical monuments, cultural heritage, spa baths, ruin pubs and lively night life. A lot of youngsters from the West come just for long weekends. Budapest is also known among the youth as a party place. No doubt, every visitor regardless of age, gender and field of interest will have unforgettable memories once they visit our gorgeous land.
We will never give up on our precious freedom however hard the globalist left wants to control us. We have been trained against all sorts of despots who tried to rob our freedom. The communists have been given a hard lesson and will be given once again if our sovereignty is not respected. Hungary cannot be cornered or blackmailed! Our economy is strong enough to endure all hardships and the nation is united against all odds.
It has never been a large country. During the medieval and new age Hungary was a medium-sized power under foreign, i.e. German and Slavic influence. Therefore leaders of the nation always laid a great emphasis on the preservation of Hungarian language, culture and identity.
Hungarians have always been self-conscious, proud of their identity, and history. Though the people are basically pessimistic, they are hopeful and confident as far as the future is concerned. Societal and economic developments in the last 14 years gave us a new sense of pride. Including history in the national curriculum plays a large part in it.
We have always been a freedom loving nation. We are a nation of freedom fighters. Constantly had to fight foreign powers i.e. Germans, Habsburgs, Turks, Russians. We don’t like foreign powers telling us how to live. We prefer staying independent.
Hungary has chosen a different path to solve its serious demographic problems. The birth rate is still low but there has been a significant growth, from 1.3 – 1.6, in the last 10 years. Marriages also doubled.
The government helps married couples to have more kids with all kinds of financial incentives, mostly through tax breaks and allowances.
Having more than 4 children you are exempted from paying tax
Mothers can stay at home after child birth for 2 years with a substantial salary from the employer and the state
Part time jobs are provided by employers and supported by the state
By contrast Viktor Orban is more popular in Hungary than ever. He has been re-elected 4 times as Prime Minister with a super majority. He understands the Hungarian peoples’ soul.
In 2002 Fidesz lost the elections. For the following 8 years conservative civil societies and media were built serving as a counterbalance of progressive policies.
Viktor Orban often gets the label from his opposition that He is a Russian stooge. It’s another lie. He is a pragmatist and understands that it’s the Hungarian National interest to secure the energy needs of the economy and population.
It’s our vital interest to maintain mutually beneficial economic relationships with Russia and China. We are loyal EU and NATO members, but being an open and small economy, need good economic relationships with the rest of the world. 2% of GDP goes to our NATO budget.
We are advocates of environmental protection, but not idiotic climate change and net zero theories. The West is cutting off their economic ties with Russia and China in frenzy. Hungary, because of its uninterrupted import of crude oil and natural gas from Russia, is the only country in Europe that could safely secure it’s needs for fuel.
According to a recent survey done in 30 European countries 38.000 respondents gave their opinions on major issues forming the present and past of Europe e.g. migration, pandemic, war in Ukraine, performance of EU and its institutions, family, demography, federalism or sovereign nation states.
In contrast with false media reports an overwhelming majority of the European public is in favour of a community of sovereign nation states. Only a handful of countries want more federalism
The biggest divisive issue is sanctions related to the war. It was promised that sanctions would bring Russia on its knees. Those proved to be false and backfired.
There is a pro peace sentiment in the whole of Europe. Europeans don’t want to fight for their country or drawn into a war. They do not support arms supplies either.
For the European public the most important issue is protecting families. The Hungarian governments and the European public’s viewpoints are stable as far as protecting children from LMBTQ propaganda.
There is a leadership deficit in Europe. EU bureaucrats and Western governments are not representing their people but foreign (American) interests.
Farmers are protesting all over Europe joined by increasing segments of the society. A general uprising is in the making. The people have revolted against their leftist governments.
Hungary is to take over EU presidency this summer. Of course, political pressure and PR campaign is mounting on the government. Nevertheless, it’s a window of opportunity for Hungary to make an impact on European Union policies.
Will focus on issues that are on our hearts, e.g. global competitiveness of EU, demographic challenges, migration, protection of borders, family policy.
Life in Western Europe is becoming less bearable. Decreasing standards of living, growing unemployment, skyrocketing inflation, flooding illegal immigration, growing crime and terror, insane wokeness, cancel culture, transgenderism, pathological racism, war psychosis, make a lot of Westerners leave their homeland and settle in calm, safe and secure Central - Eastern European countries.
As one visitor remarked, he was shocked to realize, that it is safe for a young girl to walk the streets of Budapest late at night. Since there is zero tolerance for illegal immigration, we have no terrorist attacks in Hungary.
Also because of intensifying persecution of Christians in the West Westerners often choose Christian Central-Eastern Europe as their new home. Several ten thousand people from the West already moved to Hungary. All our Western friends are welcome to this Safe Haven.
