Power Hungary: How Viktor Orbán Destroyed a Democracy

How did Viktor Orbán seize total power within Hungary – and what warnings should other nations take from his actions? Doomsday Watch host Arthur Snell is joined by Zsolt Enyedi, professor of political science at the Central European University, to unpack what lessons democracies should take from the Orbán era.     

• “The public treated the radicalisation of debate as a political gimmick, and now we are seeing the disastrous effects.” 
• “Orbán is stronger than he was a year ago, and is only getting stronger.” 
• “Orbán put in an enormous amount of money to change how people inside and outside of Hungary think.”
