Hungary at a glance – State Administration and Political System

Staying true to its mission of introducing international students to the culture, history, cuisine and landmarks of Hungary, the Stipendium Hungaricum Mentor Network has launched an educational video series covering nearly all aspects of the nation.

The episodes airing weekly on the network’s YouTube channel are the base material for an ongoing online quiz available on shmentor.hu with valuable and fun prizes to win at the end. The playlist now consisting of 25 episodes is expected to grow to a sizable 40 episodes covering Hungary with a voice-over from Dávid Kiss, the tourism coordinator of the network and breath-taking images showing the country’s charm and beauty.

In the eleventh episode, you can learn in detail about the Hungarian state administration and political system: the Constitution (Basic Law) of Hungary; the three branches of power – the legislature (the National Assembly), the executive (the government) and the judiciary. By watching the video you will understand the Hungarian election system and the political history of democratic Hungary while you can also learn about the administrative regions and offices of the country.
