A protest special as we look at recent events in Budapest and Belgrade - two cities experiencing mass-scale demonstrations in defiance of strongman leaders. And, as the UK parliament votes to proscribe Palestine Action, the UN's Special Rapporteur on Counter-Terrorism and Human Rights outlines his concerns.
Live from Buda Castle, Budapest
In this episode of the Review of Democracy podcast, we speak with historian Balázs Trencsényi about his new book Intellectuals and the Crisis of Politics in the Interwar Period and Beyond: A Transnational History (OUP, 2025). Trencsényi offers a sweeping re-narration of modern European intellectual history through the lens of “crisis” — not only asan analytical category, but as a powerful tool of political mobilisation. We explore how crisis discourses evolved during the interwar period, why that moment still resonates today, and how populism and neoliberalism emerged aschildren of crisis. A key theme is the idea of a "second Sattelzeit" — or “saddle time,” a pivotal era of conceptual transformation — through which we also reflect on the Koselleckian legacy of researching historical crisis, time, and meaning. From rethinking political modernity to decentring the Western canon, this conversation examines what it means to think historically in times of deep upheaval and how such thinking can help us better respond to the challenges facing democracy today. Balázs Trencsényi is Professor of History at Central European University and Director of its Institute for Advanced Study in Budapest. A historian of East Central European political and cultural thought, he has led major comparative and transnational research projects, including the ERC-funded Negotiating Modernity project.
Tommy and Ben lament Trump's travesty of a spending bill and the death of USAID, and how both will cost lives and further tank America's global reputation. They unpack the fallout from Israel and the US's strikes on Iran, the bizarre delusions and marginalization of Tulsi Gabbard, and the ending of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians. They also discuss Trump's interference in Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial, the latest horrors in Gaza, shocking settler violence in the West Bank, and anti-Israel speech at the UK's Glastonbury Festival. Also covered: new fighting between Ukraine and an emboldened Russia, Trump's shaky ceasefire and resource-grab masquerading as a “peace deal” between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, and a triumphant pride parade in Budapest. Finally, they plan a trip to the world's next top spring break destination: Wonsan Kalma, North Korea.
Premiér Maďarska Viktor Orbán kritizoval Evropskou komisi kvůli podpoře zakázaného pochodu hrdosti v Budapešti. Vměšují se europoslanci svou podporou Budapest Pride do jeho vnitrostátních věcí? „Orbán je pořád odstřelováni z Bruselu, protože zastává jiný názor,“ hájí ho v pořadu Pro a proti europoslankyně Jaroslava Pokorná Jermanová (ANO). „Maďarsko jako člen Unie musí dodržovat právo na shromažďování,“ míní europoslankyně Veronika Cifrová Ostrihoňová (Progresivní Slovensko).

[Marcel Joppa im Gespräch mit Saskia Ludwig, Stefan Luft und Olaf Opitz. Kontrafunk-Kommentar von Markus Vahlefeld.]Die Maßnahmen zur Corona-Zeit sollen nach dem Willen der deutschen Bundesregierung in einer Enquete-Kommission aufgearbeitet werden. Aber reicht das aus, um massiv verlorengegangenes Vertrauen zurückzugewinnen? Die CDU-Bundestagsabgeordnete Dr. Saskia Ludwig ist skeptisch, sie fordert deutlich weitergehende Konsequenzen. Im vergangenen Jahr haben in Deutschland Tausende Migranten Kirchenasyl beantragt, um damit einer Abschiebung zu entgehen. Wie das genau funktioniert, erklärt der Politikwissenschaftler Dr. Stefan Luft. In Berlin setzt sich aktuell ein links-grünes Bündnis dafür ein, dass die deutsche Hauptstadt autofrei wird, Rückenwind hat es dafür vom Berliner Verfassungsgericht bekommen. Was das bedeutet, berichtet der freie Journalist Olaf Opitz. Und Markus Vahlefeld widmet sich in seinem Kommentar der vergangenen Pride-Parade in Budapest und dem Umgang der ungarischen Politik mit europäischer Einmischung in innere Angelegenheiten.

Mik voltak az elmúlt hónap legfontosabb környezetvédelemmel kapcsolatos Európai Uniós történései? Ezekről beszélget Sarkadi Péter szerkesztő ZöldBrüsszel című sorozatunkban, melynek júniusi részében is szakértő vendége Jávor Benedek, aki 2014 - 2019 között Párbeszédes európai parlamenti képviselő volt a Zöldek frakciójában, azt megelőzően magyar országgyűlési képviselő. Jávor nyolc éve él Brüsszelben, jelenleg Budapest főváros brüsszeli képviseletének vezetője. Íme a júniusi témáink: Hogyan szabadulhat meg az EU az orosz olajtól és gáztól?Mennyivel drágulhatnak az üzemanyagok és a gázfűtés 2027-től az EU klímavédelmi lépése miatt?Rákot okoz a glifozát, a mindenhol használt totális gyomirtó – de meddig engedi az EU? Már nem csak a mediterráneumban probléma az erdőtüz – minket is fenyeget. Brutális aszálytól tartanak egész Európában. Mi is az az Európai Unió Szociális Klímalap, melynek terveit most kellene leadnia Magyarországnak is. Nagyon úgy látszik, hogy az Orbán kormány itt is bukuk 1100 milliárdot.

This week, Poland's EU Council Presidency ends, and Hungary's Visegrád Group Presidency begins – under a secret programme that Budapest has not shared with its neighbours. We look at how Viktor Orbán may try to spoil the European direction Donald Tusk has tried to shape over the last six months. We also look back on the NATO summit in the Hague, and the largest ever Pride parade in Budapest.
How old ghosts, new lines, and our hungry machines keep us replaying the same painSome family stories hum so loudly through the floorboards you never need to tell them out loud. My pop-pop thought he could outrun a ghost when he moved my nana to the end of a dead-end road in Spring Lake, New Jersey — hoping she'd stop drinking if she couldn't walk to the bar. But the bottle came anyway. The phone line was always there. She'd drink and call people she thought were betraying the family. That's how ghosts work: you can trap the body, but the pain finds the switchboard.I grew up with the soundtrack of ice cubes knocking against cheap glasses. Gin, whiskey, hush. My parents carried their ghosts the way their parents did — from Ireland, Budapest, Prague, the Atlantic — each migration another attempt to bury the coal seam deeper. But buried carbon never disappears. It waits. And someone always knows how to stoke it when they need the heat.This is what I mean by manufactured dissent. It's not a conspiracy theory about trolls. It's older than any algorithm. It's the trick of pulling old grief — real, legitimate grief — back to the surface when it suits a bigger agenda. The trauma is genuine. The switchboard is what makes it dangerous.Look at Ukraine: the Holodomor — Stalin's forced famine that starved millions — never went cold. It shaped a whole nation's suspicion of Moscow. That wound was waiting. The West didn't invent it, but knew exactly how to stoke it: promise “Never Again,” promise safety, promise revenge. And the carbon burns twice — once when it happens, again when it's hooked up to a pipeline.Same story in Hawaii. The kingdom was stolen, the lands seized, the monarchy overthrown — real, raw memory buried under generations who mostly carried it in uncle-and-auntie stories, quiet anger, backyard beers. Now, that old coal seam is stoked again. Hashtags, TED talks, Duolingo lessons. Meanwhile, the rent climbs, the kids move away, and the ghost sells nicely for soft power points while the real problem festers.This isn't blame. It's confession. I quit drinking in 2020, but the hum never left my house. It just moved from glass to fridge to late-night scrolling. The ghost wants you to dial out. Someone always wants to pick up the other line.It's the same with the Shoah. The Holocaust didn't just scar history — it etched a commandment: Never Again. That moral line holds. But it's also stoked, sometimes by the same people who'll sell fear like fuel: politicians, arms dealers, settlers, true believers. The wound stays open because the machine needs it.None of this means the grief should be forgotten. It means you need to see the switchboard. Not every ghost wants to be a billboard. Some want a grave. Some want a witness. Some want silence. The hinge is knowing the difference before someone sells you to yourself.May you watch your floorboards. May you guard your line out. May you drink your own story, not the cheap boxed wine your enemies would brand for you. The ghost never dies — but you don't have to keep stoking it for someone else's war.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Beneath Budapest: A Suspenseful Tale of Friendship and Survival Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-06-27-22-34-01-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Budapest alatt rejtett kincsek lapulnak, és néha a legváratlanabb helyen találkozunk velük.En: Hidden treasures lie beneath Budapest, and sometimes we encounter them in the most unexpected places.Hu: Egy ilyen hely volt az elhagyatott földalatti bunker, ahol László és Zsófia kalandja kezdődött.En: One such place was the abandoned underground bunker where László and Zsófia's adventure began.Hu: A nyár forró napjaiban döntött úgy László és Zsófia, hogy felfedezik a bunkert.En: On a hot summer day, László and Zsófia decided to explore the bunker.Hu: A külső meleggel ellentétben a bunker hűvös és sötét volt.En: In contrast to the external heat, the bunker was cool and dark.Hu: Azonban a levegő bent állott és poros.En: However, the air inside was stale and dusty.Hu: László, az óvatos fiatalember, aki szerette az ilyen urbánus tereket, rögtön érezte, hogy valami nincs rendben.En: László, the cautious young man who loved such urban spaces, immediately sensed something was wrong.Hu: Asztmás roham törhet rá, ha nem találnak friss levegőt.En: An asthma attack could come over him if they didn't find fresh air.Hu: Zsófia tudta, hogy lépnie kell.En: Zsófia knew she had to act.Hu: Gyors és találékony volt, mindig készen arra, hogy átvegye az irányítást.En: She was quick and resourceful, always ready to take charge.Hu: "Keressünk egy kiutat, László!En: "Let's find a way out, László!"Hu: " mondta Zsófia határozottan.En: Zsófia said decisively.Hu: "Egy kis szellő bárhol jöhet.En: "A little breeze could come from anywhere."Hu: "Az ingatag falak közt szinte érzékelni lehetett a bunker múltját.En: Amidst the unstable walls, one could almost sense the bunker's past.Hu: A szűk folyosók labirintusnak tűntek, tele régi relikviákkal.En: The narrow corridors seemed like a labyrinth filled with old relics.Hu: Minden sarkon reménykedtek, hogy friss levegőt találnak, de minden újabb terem újabb kihívás volt.En: At every corner, they hoped to find fresh air, but each new room was another challenge.Hu: László egyre nehezebben lélegzett, szeme könnyben úszott.En: László found it increasingly difficult to breathe, his eyes swimming with tears.Hu: Zsófia aggódó pillantást vetett rá, de nem adta fel.En: Zsófia shot him a worried glance but did not give up.Hu: Aztán, amikor László meghajolva kapaszkodott a falba, Zsófia egy szellőzőnyílást vett észre a sarokban.En: Then, when László was bending over, clutching the wall, Zsófia noticed a vent in the corner.Hu: "Itt van valami!En: "There's something here!"Hu: " kiáltotta.En: she shouted.Hu: "Érzem a levegőt.En: "I can feel the air."Hu: "Amikor László összerogyott, Zsófia gyorsan odahúzta, épp időben.En: When László collapsed, Zsófia quickly dragged him over, just in time.Hu: A kis szellő, amely az apró nyíláson keresztül bejutott, újraélesztette Lászlót.En: The small breeze coming through the tiny opening revived László.Hu: Mélyen lélegzett, és lassan visszatért az ereje.En: He breathed deeply, and slowly his strength returned.Hu: Hosszú percek múltán, amikor végre elérték a bunker kijáratát, kimerülten léptek ki.En: After long minutes, when they finally reached the bunker's exit, they stepped out exhausted.Hu: A napsütés édes volt és a friss levegő szerelemmel üdvözölte őket.En: The sunshine was sweet, and the fresh air greeted them like a beloved.Hu: László mélyet szívott be, hálás volt Zsófiának a segítségért.En: László took a deep breath, grateful to Zsófia for her help.Hu: A nap végén László rájött, hogy néha másokra is támaszkodnia kell.En: By the end of the day, László realized that sometimes he needs to rely on others.Hu: Nem minden problémát tud egyedül megoldani.En: He can't solve every problem on his own.Hu: Zsófia pedig büszke volt barátjára, aki tanult, bízott, és erős maradt a kihívások közepette.En: Zsófia was proud of her friend, who learned, trusted, and remained strong amidst the challenges.Hu: Így ért véget a kalandjuk Budapest alatt, egy életre szóló leckével és egy mélyebb barátsággal.En: Their adventure beneath Budapest ended with a lifelong lesson and a deeper friendship.Hu: A bunker titka bennük élt tovább, emlékeztetőül arra, hogy a legrosszabb helyzetekben is van kiút, ha van melletted valaki akire számíthatsz.En: The bunker's secret lived on in them, a reminder that even in the worst situations, there is a way out if you have someone to count on by your side.

Aimar Bretos entrevista al responsable de políticas LGTBI del PSOE, que se encuentra en Budapest por las amenazas del régimen de Orban a la celebración del Orgullo en Hungría
All eyes are on Budapest this weekend, where the annual Pride march has been banned by Hungarian authorities, citing laws against so-called “LGBTQ propaganda”. But the parade is going ahead anyway on Saturday, and so are the politics.Among those attending is MEP Daniel Freund, who has long criticised Viktor Orbán's government for its attacks on democracy, civil society, and LGBTQ rights. In this episode, we speak to him about the proposed Transparency of Public Life law, the ban, what's at stake for Hungary and the EU, and is Brussels finally ready to get serious?Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.Production: By Europod, in co production with Sphera Network.Follow us on:LinkedInInstagram Hosted on Acast.

Con Víctor Lapuente, Cristina de la Hoz y Carlos Sánchez. Mañana se celebra el día del Orgullo LGTB, una fecha que en algunas ciudades de nuestro país va a venir acompañada de actos, manifestaciones y también celebraciones. Una fecha que este año va a ser especialmente importante porque el matrimonio igualitario en nuestro país cumple 20 años. En Europa, todo el mundo mira hacia Budapest. Allí aumenta la tensión a un día de la manifestación en defensa de los derechos LGTBI que el Gobierno del ultra Orbán ha prohibido. No sólo la ha ilegalizado sino que amenaza con penas de cárcel. Además, Bruselas recibe la última oferta de Washington para negociar los aranceles antes de que caiga la pausa, en dos semanas. Confían en que las amenazas de Washington no torpedeen la recta final de las conversaciones. Algunos socios como Alemania y Francia piden que se alcance un acuerdo pronto.

Maria Walsh, Fine Gael MEP for Midlands North West, joins The Hard Shoulder from Hungary to explain why she's travelling to attend Budapest's now-banned Pride parade and what the law says about public LGBTQ+ expression in Viktor Orbán's Hungary.Listen here

Mackenzie Little won Commonwealth Javelin silver in 2022 and World bronze in 2023. She won those medals whilst qualifying as a medical doctor.Following her bronze at the Worlds in Budapest, she was due back at the hospital to continue her training, but had to delay her departure for Australia so that she could attend her medal ceremony. She describes how flying back from a Worlds or an Olympics and going straight into a night shift is a very grounding experience with no time to dwell on the highs or lows of competition.After her medal in Budapest, there were patients who couldn't have cared less where she'd just been. Equally though, after personal disappointment at the Paris Olympics, her patients' enthusiasm and excitement for her even being at the Olympics gave her a sense of perspective on what she had achieved.Mackenzie is currently a second year doctor. She explains how she plots a course through life that allows her to continue her medical training and her track and field career. We recorded this episode in Oslo, where Mackenzie had used some of her annual holiday allocation to fly from Australia to Norway in order to compete at that Diamond League meet. On those ‘whirlwind' trips to Europe, as well as competing, she says she gets more sleep than when she's at home working shifts as a doctor. Briefly, having graduated from college in the United States before starting med school in Australia, Mackenzie competed for a European season as ‘just' an athlete, and found that she was ‘rubbish'. Mackenzie believes she is at her best when balancing her academic commitments with the demands of being a professional track and field athlete.Mackenzie won the US Collegiate title twice and was also a room-mate of another former Warm Up Track guest – the double Olympic discus champion Valarie Allman.We discuss imposter syndrome, which Mackenzie feels both ways. She wonders whether her fellow athletes think she's a part-timer, who hasn't sacrificed enough and isn't fully dedicated to her sport. The anxiety is also there in a medical setting – but this time it's the worry that her fellow doctors might think she's an ‘air-head athlete'.The Australian thinks that being a javelin thrower makes the balancing of her two careers possible. If she was, for example, a middle or long distance runner, she knows that there wouldn't be enough hours in day to fit in her training around her day job. Mackenzie believes that the real world demands of medicine, full of situations ‘where you've just got to do it', stands her in good stead in an athletics environment. It might be raining, she may have lost her luggage, but she can switch into competition mode and get it done.Mackenzie isn't sure whether she'll have to choose one path or another, or when that decision might need to be made, it's about what she can achieve now.Image: Bronze medalist, Australia's Mackenzie Little celebrates with her National flag and medal after the women's javelin throw final during the World Athletics Championships at the National Athletics Centre in Budapest on August 25, 2023.

Die Linke spricht von einem Versagen auf ganzer Linie: Das Stimmvolk hatte dem Kauf der neuen F-35 Kampfjets bei der US-Regierung für sechs Milliarden Franken zugestimmt. Nun wird klar, dass die Jets wohl mehr kosten werden. Weitere Themen: Um die Artenvielfalt zu fördern, erhalten Bäuerinnen und Bauern Zahlungen vom Bund. Doch nicht alle Zahlungen entfalten die gewünschte Wirkung, wie ein Bericht der Eidgenössischen Finanzkontrolle zeigt. EU-Kommissionpräsidentin Ursula von der Leyen hat die ungarische Regierung aufgefordert, das Verbot der Pride aufzuheben. Die Kundgebung der LGBTQ-Gemeinschaft wäre am Samstag in Budapest geplant.
Marché de la cocaïne en hausse, et une violence du crime organisé qui s'étend désormais à l'Europe. Le dernier rapport de l'ONU sur les drogues tire la sonnette d'alarme.

Dans la valse des 12 millions de containers qui arrivent chaque année sur ses 5 terminaux, les trafiquants essaient de déjouer la sécurité... par la corruption auprès des dockers, par des petites mains qui viennent récupérer la drogue, et qu'on appelle les extracteurs, ou encore en plaçant des hommes de main à l'intérieur même des containers...

Mais retournement de situation, pour la première fois, un des membres les plus influents du gang vient d'être extradé de la péninsule arabique vers l'Irlande. Une avancée majeure sur la voie du démantèlement de leur trafic, Clémence Penard. La revue de presse sonore de Franceline Beretti On a beaucoup parlé défense cette semaine avec le sommet de l'Otan à La Haye et on va faire un premier bilan. Comme le souhaitaient les États-Unis presque tous les membres de l'Alliance atlantique se sont engagés à consacrer 3,5% de leur PIB aux dépenses militaires et 1,5% aux dépenses de sécurité... Bref, même s'il a fallu prendre beaucoup de pincettes avec Donald Trump pour éviter le clash, c'est un succès, disent de nombreux éditorialistes. Bras de fer politique autour de la gay pride de Budapest Le début de l'été et les gay prides.... qui peuvent prendre un tour très politique. C'est le cas en Hongrie. Une nouvelle loi interdit l'exposition des mineurs aux contenus sur l'homosexualité et les changements de genre. De quoi justifier, selon le Premier ministre, l'interdiction d'une grande parade. Mais, le maire de Budapest maintient la marche des fiertés pour samedi... Reportage signé Florence Labruyère.
Ken Liu's short story, "The Paper Menagerie," is an easy and powerful add to your curriculum. Not only does it explore family relationships, The American Dream, and identity (themes you can easily connect to other texts as you build units), it introduces - briefly, painfully, powerfully - China's Cultural Revolution. I'll admit I've never studied the history of communism in China with much depth until recently. In college, I took a Socialist-Realist literature course that kicked off a life-long interest in how people are influenced by propaganda for me. Later, I lived in Bulgaria after the fall of communism there and my interest only increased as I taught 1984 to students whose families had lived through Communism. I visited Memento Park in Budapest, home to dozens of Communist sculptures and a terrifying video exhibit about the way the government watched its citizens. I visited the Museum of Communism in Prague, which walks visitors through daily life under communism as well as showing its frightening extremes. I moved to Slovakia, where I listened to my son's best friend's father tell me how wonderful aspects of life under Communism had been years before in the very neighborhood where our family was living. Yet despite my interest in learning about Communism and propaganda, it was Ken Liu who first made me pay attention to The Cultural Revolution. When his main character reads a letter from his mother about her life in China before she escaped to The United States as a bride in a catalogue, it woke me up dramatically. None of the other books I'd ever read throughout so many years of studying and then teaching English had ever really explored this huge event in world history. I thought of the story immediately when a teacher wrote in with her request for our new "Plan My Lesson" series, asking for a bridge to help her students prepare to read Red Scarf Girl, A Memoir of the Cultural Revolution. Since then I've dipped into Red Scarf Girl (until I got so sad I had to take a break) and done a deep dive into The New York Times' exploration of The Cultural Revolution, including three particularly striking stories: one in which a small local museum remembering victims of the Cultural Revolution was wrapped in propaganda posters, one featuring memories of folks who were students in China during the Cultural Revolution (like the narrator of Red Scarf Girl), and one about current president of China's Xi Jinping's experience as a middle schooler during the Cultural Revolution. But knowing many classrooms wouldn't have access to The New York Times, I continued into resources on the BBC and Crash Course, the Asian Society and Getty Images, which I eventually built into today's curriculum. Today, I'm going to walk you through a lesson on "The Paper Menagerie" that you can use on its own, or as a transition toward Red Scarf Girl. Our goal is to help students build some understanding of The Cultural Revolution at the same time that they explore related literature. To be honest, I really fell down the rabbit hole on this one, and could easily now spend a month building curriculum around how we know what is true, how propaganda wields influence, the cultural revolution, Ken Liu's short story, and Red Scarf Girl. And because the history surrounding these stories is so painful, and the repercussions so very real in our world, it's hard not to feel a tremendous responsibility for students to explore these questions and texts. But at the moment, we're talking about one short lesson period - probably about 38 minutes of available time. So let's focus on that, starting now.

Millions of people in more than a hundred countries march at Pride festivities each year. Attendees come mostly to express support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans gender, queer and intersex people — the LGBTQI+ community. And although Pride may be on every continent, there's a swathe of countries where Pride still is not freely celebrated. Take Russia, where a court last decade issued a one-hundred-year ban on Pride events. Or Turkey, where police in recent years have been harassing, attacking and detaining activists and members of the LGBTQ+ community. And then there's Hungary, which is inside the EU but out of step with its laws and values. This year Hungary's illiberal prime minister Viktor Orbán said he intended to stop Pride in the capital Budapest, on the pretext of child-protection. Under-18s are supposedly at risk from so-called displays of homosexuality, displays that themselves were banned four years ago. That's a direct echo of Russia's anti-LGBT statute on Protecting Children and Traditional Family Values signed into law by Vladimir Putin more than a decade ago. This month Hungarian police duly imposed the Budapest ban that Orbán called for. And they added a dystopian touch: facial recognition technology. Attendees identified at Budapest Pride could face fines of 500 euros; they also could face neofascist thugs from far-right splinter groups. But Budapest mayor Gergely Karácsony says this year's event is going ahead this weekend just the same. After all, Budapest has had Pride marches for the best part of three decades. It's also worth recalling that Pride was born out of state repression. The first marches were held in the early 70s in a handful of US cities to mark the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. That name, Stonewall, comes from a bar, the Stonewall Inn, in New York City's Greenwich Village. The gay and transgender patrons of the Stonewall had grown sick of police harassment and abuse, and their uprising in 1969 still marks a key moment for civil rights movements everywhere. One beneficiary of such hard-won victories is Marc Angel, one of five so-called Quaestors at the European Parliament overseeing matters affecting the chamber's 705 members. Marc is a Socialist from Luxembourg and also co-president of the European Parliament's intergroup on LGBTIQ+ rights. For him, this weekend's Budapest Pride events amount to a protest — a protest against bogus limits on freedom of assembly in Hungary, and a protest against an international anti-gender movement, backed by Russia, supported by US ultraconservatives, and aimed at polarizing societies and weakening democracy.Support the show

Después de una semana de descanso y de haber hecho un viaje express a Canadá, la Fórmula 1 vuelve a Europa y en el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 toca prepararse para uno de los Grandes Premio más vistosos de la temporada: el de Austria en el precioso Red Bull Ring. Pero no sólo de Fórmula 1 vive el aficionado, así que habrá que hablar de otra cita importante el próximo fin de semana - el Acrópolis en el WRC - y de la increíble carrera en Road America, el pasado fin de semana. El Red Bull Ring y sus características únicas. El Gran Premio de Austria se celebra en el Red Bull Ring, un trazado conocido por lo corto de su trazado, sus pendientes y sus frecuentes cambios meteorológicos, factores que prometen emociones y desafíos técnicos. Después de tres años con formato Sprint, en 2025 se regresa al formato tradicional: dos sesiones de libres el viernes, una el sábado, clasificación por la tarde y carrera el domingo. Desde el punto de vista técnico, el circuito se caracteriza por su asfalto abrasivo, el bajo número de curvas (10) y un diseño que alterna fuertes aceleraciones con frenadas intensas, generando gran estrés térmico en los neumáticos. Por ello, Pirelli ha optado por los compuestos C3, C4 y C5, los mismos que el año pasado. El control del sobrecalentamiento, especialmente en el eje trasero, será clave. Además, la meteorología puede cambiar rápidamente debido a su ubicación en las montañas de Estiria. Diseños y estrategias. En términos de estrategia, el año pasado dominó la estrategia a dos paradas, y los compuestos medios y duros fueron los más utilizados, con escasa aparición de los blandos salvo para buscar la vuelta rápida. En cuanto al diseño del circuito, se divide en tres sectores diferenciados: el primero es una preciosa y espectacular subida con dos rectas, el segundo inicia con una frenada fuerte y desciende hasta la curva 7, y el tercero combina subidas y bajadas con curvas rápidas, lo que unido a las tres zonas DRS asegura acción constante. Desde el punto de vista mecánico, los frenos sufren una exigencia media según Brembo, similar a la del circuito de Budapest. Aun así, el sistema de frenado está sometido a cargas elevadísimas: hasta 177 kg de presión sobre el pedal, 62 toneladas acumuladas en toda la carrera y deceleraciones de hasta 5,5 G, especialmente en la curva 1. Comparado con MotoGP (que también corre aquí con una chicane añadida), las diferencias de frenado son abismales, destacando la precisión y eficiencia de los monoplazas. Con la vuelta de la máxima competeción a Europa, esperamos un fin de semana muy intenso, donde la estrategia, la climatología y el control de las gomas serán factores decisivos. La pista, corta pero técnica, puede ofrecer sorpresas, y con una parrilla tan ajustada como la actual, las predicciones son inciertas. ¿Volverá Verstappen a imponerse en su “jardín de casa” o veremos a algún equipo plantar cara en uno de los escenarios más espectaculares del Campeonato?

The TV show Columbo, about a loveable schlub detective, is internationally beloved. But Hungary has an extra special relationship with the show, dating all the way back to the 1970s when the communist government banned most other American shows.
Diane Kappa is a lifelong artist and the daughter of an artist. After founding her art licensing business nearly 20 years ago, she spent many years designing to creative briefs—a challenge she still enjoys for its problem-solving aspects. But in recent years, her focus has shifted toward more personal exploration, a journey that has deepened her creative practice and enriched her commercial design work.Linoleum block printing has become her most personal and expressive medium. Drawn to its tactile process, bold shapes, and the meditative rhythm of carving by hand, Diane often combines her hand-carved prints with stitching and layered details. Her work explores the interplay of texture, pattern, and process—three themes that guided her recent artist residency. Texture is revealed through physical and visual layers; Pattern draws inspiration from sources like tattered wallpaper and vintage textiles; and Process honors the thoughtful, hands-on journey behind each piece.Travel continues to inspire her work. Having lived in Budapest for four years, she regularly attends creative retreats in India, France, Mexico, and across the U.S.—experiences that provide time to reset, refocus, and reconnect with what matters most in her art.A passionate teacher, Diane offers block printing classes from her studio, nurturing creative community and helping others reconnect with their artistic voice.Website: https://www.dianekappa.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dianekappa/Retreat: https://www.artistsrising.net/diane-kappa-2026Thank You to Our Sponsors: Jet Creative and UrbanStems!· Jet Creative: A women-owned marketing firm committed to community and empowerment.
