Hungary: PM Orbán Extends His Power Due to Coronavirus

Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger and Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom/March 31, 2020March 31, 2020 /Leave a comment

On March 30, 2020, the Hungarian Parliament passed the so-called “Enabling Act”. In the future, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán will, therefore, be able to govern by decree without parliamentary approval. Despite the spread of the new coronavirus, this shouldn’t have happened.

Greek New Right and Eve of Conservative Populism

Athanasios Grammenos and Visio Institut/January 29, 2020 /Leave a comment

The political platform of the Greek New Right, which has embedded authoritarian attitudes cultivating an anti-liberal sub-culture to the party’s voters, is in accordance with several European conservative movements like in Hungary, Austria, or Czechia.

Hungarian Demographic Policy as Ultimate Authoritarian Central Planning Tool

Eszter Nova and Visio Institut/January 27, 2020January 29, 2020 /Leave a comment

Family Protection Action Plan, which bears all the hallmarks of an authoritarian staple, is dehumanizing, pits demographic groups against each other and distorts the markets. It also creates a distraction for the citizens and puts the opposition in a corner where their only option is a bidding war.

Liberal Order and Its Backlash: Transition and Realignment in Eastern Europe and the West

Kai Weiss and Visio Institut/January 23, 2020 /Leave a comment

The liberal order is still a relatively young system by and large. Over millennia before the industrial revolution and the ascendancy of liberal ideas did tribalism of some sort or the other prevail. The legacy of liberal order is undeniably impressive.

Liberalism Versus Authoritarianism

Tanja Porcnik and Visio Institut/January 16, 2020 /Leave a comment

World Without Liberal Democracy

Piotr Beniuszys and Liberte/November 25, 2019 /Leave a comment

This article shall serve as a cautionary tale about the fact that if liberal democracy collapses, even liberally-minded people may dismiss democracy and promote liberty-oriented meritocracy, which would cut off numerous citizens from politics – sometimes, for their own good.

Call for Papers: The Visio Journal Vol. 4

Visio Institut/September 23, 2019September 23, 2019 /Leave a comment

Support for the authoritarianism among both political elites and the public across Europe is spreading and growing.

Is Santa a Communist?

Mate Hajba and Free Market Foundation/December 20, 2018December 20, 2018 /2 Comments

Let me tell you the truth about Santa Claus. If his Marx-esque appearance and red clothing weren’t an immediate giveaway, I must point blank tell you: Santa is a communist. So before you go wasting ink and paper writing your letter, hear me out.

Economy

Economic Freedom Against Poverty and Authoritarianism

Marek Tatala and FOR/October 17, 2017October 16, 2017 /Leave a comment

We sometimes hear that the only type of liberalism we need today is “political liberalism” while classical liberal ideas in the economy can be neglected. The view that we need only political freedom, without a broad range of economic freedoms, is not isolated and requires a response.
