Hungary's Drift into Authoritarianism

This chapter examines the implications of a law allowing Prime Minister Viktor Orban to rule by decree indefinitely, highlighting the erosion of democratic principles in Hungary. It critiques the European Union's ineffective response to Hungary's authoritarian shift, as the Fidesz party consolidates power and restricts press freedom. The narrative reflects on the political landscape under Orban, where nationalistic rhetoric and a positive economic outlook obscure threats to democracy.
