Ideological and Power Battles Amid Pandemic: 9th Constitutional Amendment in Hungary

Zsolt Nagy and Republikon Institute/December 5, 2020December 7, 2020 /Leave a comment

The pandemic can rule the agenda, but it cannot rule the ideology. This is the main lesson of the past few days in Hungary. The government has introduced restrictions and a crisis management plan, while PM Viktor Orbán has began writing the new chapter of the Hungarian ideological-cultural war in the meantime.

Viktoria Radvanyi and Budapest Pride/October 22, 2020October 23, 2020 /Leave a comment

Mate Hajba and Free Market Foundation/February 18, 2020February 18, 2020 /Leave a comment

Outlook for Hungary for 2020

Eszter Nova and Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom/February 3, 2020February 3, 2020 /2 Comments

Hungarian politics in 2020 will be different from 2019 in a number of ways. After years of paralysis and disarray of the Hungarian non-Fidesz opposition, they are back in the political game after a surprise non-defeat at the municipal elections in October 2019.

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

It also creates a distraction for the citizens and puts the opposition in a corner where their only option is a bidding war.
