Written by Editors on .

The Senate of the Republic (Senado de la República) serves as the upper house of Mexico’s bicameral Congress. The Senate was established through the Constitution of 1824, which provided that the Legislative Power would be vested in a General Congress composed of two Chambers. It was abolished by the Constitution of 1857, which established a unicameral legislature, and re-established on November 13, 1874. The Senate currently consists of 128 senators who serve six-year terms with the possibility of one consecutive reelection. Senators are elected through a mixed system: 64 by direct vote (two from each state and Mexico City), 32 assigned to the first minorities (one per state), and 32 by proportional representation. The Senate holds constitutional authority to ratify international treaties, approve presidential appointments, and serve as a check on executive power.

The Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Malaysia is China’s chief diplomatic mission to Malaysia, located in Kuala Lumpur. The mission’s origins trace to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the People’s Republic of China and Malaysia on May 31, 1974, when Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak led a historic visit to China and signed a joint communiqué with Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai. This momentous event marked Malaysia as the first ASEAN nation to establish diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China, breaking new ground during the height of the Cold War. The embassy is currently located at 229, Jalan Ampang, 50450 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The current ambassador is Ouyang Yujing (欧阳玉靖), who arrived in Malaysia in December 2020 and has served as China’s 16th Ambassador.

Magyar Nemzet

Written by Editors on .

Magyar Nemzet was founded in August 1938 by Sándor Pethő as a conservative daily broadsheet newspaper. The paper survived World War II and communist rule, becoming Hungary’s leading conservative publication. Businessman Lajos Simicska purchased the paper in 2000 and used it to support Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party with favorable coverage funded by state advertising contracts. After Simicska’s public fallout with Orbán in 2015, the government cut state funding and the paper became critical of the regime. Simicska closed Magyar Nemzet in April 2018 after Fidesz’s election victory, citing financial problems. The government relaunched the brand in February 2019 as a pro-government publication under the state-aligned KESMA media conglomerate, completing Orbán’s capture of Hungary’s most prestigious conservative newspaper. The relaunched version features a dedicated section promoting Orbán’s policies and activities.
