Hungarikum is an umbrella term for things that are distinctly Hungarian and that are worth recognition and protection – things we can be proud of. It is also a legal category, since it depends on the Hungarikum Committee to decide whether a specific food, plant, animal, custom, or invention is allowed to be called a Hungarikum.

On April 12, TISZA party garnered a landslide victory in the latest general elections in Hungary. With that, the FIDESZ government will be replaced after their 16-year rule.

Italy was famously among the countries offering the laxest rules regarding citizenship by descent – until last year, when a new law restricted citizenship based on ancestry to people with Italian parents and grandparents, and added new conditions. Now the Italian Constitutional Court has confirmed the law, which will stay in force for the foreseeable future. This comes as a blow to many who hoped to get Italian citizenship and thereby gain access to Europe – but there may still be options for you within the EU.
