Hungarian Spectrum

Hungarian Spectrum is a daily blog covering current political and social developments in Hungary. It was created in 2007 by Eva Balogh.[1]

Content

Hungarian Spectrum has been published daily since June 27, 2007,[2] and has been archived in the Library of Congress since 2013.[3] Balogh, who specializes in interwar Hungarian history,[4][5][6][7] researches and writes most of the articles. Based on primary sources in Hungarian, German and English, the articles analyze current developments in Hungary for the nonspecialist reader from a historian's perspective.

There are also occasional articles written by guest scholars such as Kim Lane Scheppele,[8] Johanna Laakso,[9] Charles Gati[10] and Randolph L. Braham.[11]

Hungarian Spectrum has been cited and mentioned in scholarly journals[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] as well as in books[22][23] and newspapers.[24][25][26]

Hungarian Spectrum is supported by voluntary donations from its readers. Philanthropist George Soros, winner of the Ridenhour Prize for Courage in April 2019, donated his prize money to Hungarian Spectrum for "exposing to the world [in English] what Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is telling his own people [in Hungarian]."[27]

Political position

Eva Balogh is said to have close ties with Hungarian left-wing politicians[28] and often writes entries highly critical of the Viktor Orbán government. She is also a regular guest in ATV[29][30] and publishes opinion pieces in the left-liberal newspaper Népszava.[31][32][33] In November 2009, she gave a lecture for CIA officials at Langley, Virginia, where she characterised the imminent right-wing Fidesz victory in the 2010 Hungarian parliamentary election as a possible fascist breakthrough.[34][35][36] She testified against the Fidesz as a Hungary expert at a United States congressional hearing.[37]
