The building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Or whatever…I mean they always change the name of ministries, so to me it remains the Belügyminisztérium:) The place you dont want to go. Unfriendly faces asking for papers are at the gate..and they are so supersecret and superimportant that they dont have time to smile..:) Did you know that the word ministry originally refers to serve?
Stumble it!Cool photo, Zsolt, even if the folks inside are not all that warm and fuzzy. In the States a minister or ministry commonly has a religious reference. It wasn’t until I got interested in Canadian culture that I heard the terms used for representatives of government. In the States we have, say, the Secretary of Agriculture rather than the Minister of Agriculture, etc. Of course governments all over the world use these terms for their offices and officers, but it was foreign usage to me until the late 70s. Don’t we wish the attitude of all governments was that of service to the people rather than the attitude you mention the civil servents in this building to have.

It is a foreboding, brooding building. The light is dark, too - nice touch!
It’s called Ministry of Local Governement .. today, but tomorrow, who knows?
Couple of months ago I had some official business at this Ministry. To be honest I liked the building very much, but you are right you about the atmosphere. I totally agree with you. I didn’t have enough barave to take some photos inside. :( Btw the view from the conference room is also beautiful.

It’s military zone, so I didn’t have enough brave to take some photos inside. :( Btw the view from the conference room is also beautiful.
