So he really did it. On May 8, US President Donald Trump decided that the economic sanctions against Iran suspended under the multilateral nuclear agreement should be resumed and even tightened and unilaterally terminated the agreement.

Election Polls Versus Opinion Polls in Hungary

April 05, 2018 / Hauke Hartmann

There is a very strong probability that Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party is going to defend its parliamentary majority in the national elections on Sunday.

Investing in Democracy

June 09, 2016 / Hauke Hartmann
