Billboards in Hungary before the elections (on the left) and after the elections (on the right). The billboards on the right say "Can be beautiful too".
A four-panel photo collage contrasting the appearance of a Hungarian building facade before and after an election. The left two panels (labeled 'before') display crowded, dense grids of political campaign billboards covering building walls. The billboards feature multiple images of politicians (such as Viktor Orbán) with Hungarian text in a mix of white, black, and red, including phrases like 'Brüsszel alázatos szolgái' (Brussels' humble servants), 'Ön, a kétbalkezes' (You, the clumsy one), 'Gázáremelést! Igenis!' (Gas price hike! Yes!), and other anti-Brussels or anti-opposition messaging.

The right two panels (labeled 'after') show the same facades transformed, with all previous political ads replaced by clean, colorful, non-political stylized floral designs on a blue background. A large, simple message in blue stylized font is prominent across three horizontal panels on the left side: 'LEHET' on the top level, 'SZÉP' on the second level, and 'IS' on the third level, which together translate to 'It can be beautiful too'. Each word is accompanied by a stylized colorful flower. The design features various simplified floral and leaf patterns and small-text logos below.

Today more Americans move to Europe than Europeans move to the US.
A line graph with a headline and article lead, showing migration trends from 2005 to 2024. The headline reads 'The Americans Are Coming' with the subtitle 'UNITED STATES <-> EU+EFTA+UK . 2005-2024'. Below the headline, the text reads 'For the first time in recorded history, more Americans moved to EU+EFTA+UK countries than Europeans moved to the US.' The main line graph plots 'Persons per year' from 0 to 180k on the y-axis, against years from 2005 to 2023 on the x-axis. Three data series are shown with a corresponding legend below. The first data series, represented by a red line with solid circles, is 'EU+EFTA+UK -> US (green cards)'. It shows a declining trend, with a sharp drop in 2020 and a smaller drop in 2023, while generally higher than the other series. The second series, a solid dark blue line with solid circles, is 'Americans -> EU+EFTA+UK (first-time residence permits)'. This series shows a distinct upward trend, particularly accelerating in recent years. In the final year of the graph, this solid blue line crosses above the red line, reaching its highest point and surpassing the migration from Europe. The third series, a dark blue dotted line with solid circles that begins around 2011, is 'Americans claiming EU/UK citizenship by descent (≠ relocation)'. This series remains low throughout, but also shows a clear recent increase. The visual summary is that migration from the US to the combined European area now exceeds migration in the other direction.
