Paks, a stranded riverboat, a new TV2 news show — how closely did you follow Hungary's headlines today?

Five fresh stories from home — from the Paks shutdown to the boat stuck on the Danube. Tell us what you think.

  1. Due to the heat warning, the head of the Hungarian Catholic Bishops' Conference again asked churches to open their doors to the public for cooling off. What do you think of this initiative?
  2. A sightseeing boat carrying more than 180 passengers has been stuck on a sandbank in the Danube in Hungary for days, upending passengers' plans. If you were on board, what would you do?
  3. According to HVG, the Orbán government made over a hundred non-public decisions right before losing power, while the new government does this far less often. How concerning do you find it that some government decisions aren't public?
  4. Tonight the TV2 News debuted, replacing Tények — without the old look or the former anchors (Anikó Marsi, Gábor Gönczi). Do you even watch TV news broadcasts?
  5. The grace period is about to expire for drivers whose vehicle registration carries an entry that makes a license plate swap mandatory. Have you checked whether this affects your car?
  6. The Paks Nuclear Power Plant's communications director says shutting down and restarting reactor blocks is routine, with negligible safety risk. How much do you trust a power plant's own communications director making such reassuring statements?
  7. Which of today's Hungarian stories interested you most (the Paks shutdown, the heat-warning church openings, the stranded boat, the new TV2 News, or the government's classified decisions)? Pick up to two.
