C1 Hungarian listening practice · Standard Hungarian · Picked for people who know a lot
Hungary’s local-government law recognizes a special administrative tier called megyei jogú város (“city with county rights”). About 23 mid-sized Hungarian cities, including Debrecen, Szeged, Pécs, Miskolc, Győr, and Kecskemét, sit at this tier: they’re cities, but they hold the same powers as a megye (county). The status comes from a 1994 law and is a distinctively Hungarian way of organizing local power, since most other countries either treat cities as cities or fold them into a regional government.
This clip is a Hungarian political news commentary that mentions Orbán Viktor visiting három megyei jogú város (“three county-rights cities”) in a single day. The phrase carries weight because each of those cities is its own self-governing unit.
