Saturday Stories

As the first weekend of summer is upon us, here are some things going on:








From the Hungary Journal, Hungarian Prime Minister Orban meets the European Peoples Party's "three wise men".  (If you read Hungarian, read the story at Népszava.)

From Daily News Hungary, over 24,000 Hungarians apply for permission to live in the U.K.  (If you read Hungarian, read the story at Heti Világgazdaság.)



From Romania-Insider, a look at Bucharest, Romania.



From the Greek Reporter, Greece and Turkey exchange strong statements over Muftis in Western Thrace.  (Thrace is a region that includes the European portion of Turkey, part of northeastern Greece, and part of southeastern Bulgaria.)


From Total Croatia News, 600,000 residents of Croatia reportedly neither work nor seek work.  (If you read Croatian, read the story at Viečernji List.)













From the (Irish) Independent, a "Civil War-era" grenade is discovered in a work zone in Dublin.  (The Irish Civil War was fought from 1922 to 1923.)


From Turkish Minute, Turkish President Erdoğan recognizes that even Kurds are human.  (My spellchecker rejects "Kurds", but not the singular "Kurd".)






From Egypt Today, a household products company demands that Starbucks changes its logo.  (The logos of the two companies each include a star, but there doesn't appear to any other similarity.)



From The Express Tribune, Pakistani politician Maryam Nawaz calls proposed economic legislation a "joke".  (She sounds like a Democrat criticizing President Trump, or maybe a Republican criticizing President Obama a few years back.)










From Gatestone Institute, Turks must vote until they get it right.


From National Review, "making sense of the Iran chaos".






From the New York Post, almost 70 climate protesters outside the New York Times building get arrested.  (Like I keep saying, they need to protest in front of the Chinese embassy, which is in Washington, not New York.)
