“Authoritarianism in Europe” with Péter Krekó

  • Summary

  • Europe is holding its breath ahead of France’s parliamentary elections, in which a “far right” party could win power for the first time since WWII.

    The hero of 21st-century right-wing European triumphalism is Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán. Many European far-right candidtaes are his devoted fan boys, as are farther-flung admirers like Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson.

    This week, Hungary assumed the rotating leadership of the European Union presidency. Orbán’s first move was to swoop into Kyiv to tell the Ukrainian President to stop fighting and get along better with those nice Russkies.

    How has this anti-Western, anti-democratic strongman upended a European democracy? What’s happened to Hungary? And could it happen here?
