In the aftermath of a political earthquake in Hungary, Stephanie Hegarty explores whether the downfall of Viktor Orbán could be a warning sign for populist leaders everywhere.
Indeed 🗽
The torch held up by Hungarians to show the light for democratic future on the planet.
Built from the bottom up by the people for the people‼️
That’s the key element.
Any democracy will fall if not ready to follow Hungary on Democracy 2.0.
How do you define "populism" obviously Magyar is popular since he has a 3/4 majority he was also a member of Orbans party for years and then had insider information about potential corruption he visited hundreds of villages during his campaign and after 16 years people wanted a change he's only 45 a lawyer energetic but only time will tell how ethical or corrupt he is himself how can you compare him after 3 months to Orban after 16 years how can you compare Hungary to America either? Huge differences.
Prime Ministers of parilamentary systems are too powerful there are no term limits they can be elected over and over again.... Same in Canada with Trudeau the real power is in the PM, they need term limits like the US President's office of 8 years max or some number
Hello dear please i humble request to show Indian cjp protest news to know the all over world thank you because my many brothers and sisters are injured on this protest the massage are send all over the world
That was a lighthearted, but eventually quite shallow summary. Don't want to get into details to much, but even though Orban can be viewed somewhat of a general populist conservative, he was part of a universal tide in the west, there were many critical and unique elements to his success, that only applied to Hungary.
The tidal wave of populism can still upset the mainstream in many european countries, mostly from the right, but possibly from the left as well. The reason, the real reason for that are the detached, and mediocre elites of the west, whom cannot give answers for most of the problems, and fears of ordinary people, let alone solve them. I know a few members of these elites, from all around Europe, including my own family. I never seen so many smart, educated people so stunningly blind and deaf.
Populism is the fever, not the disease. Which, as we all know, can still kill you, so you really should pay attention to the cause of it.
"Conservative populism"?? Oh puh-leez, even Orban himself called it an "illiberal administration" - in effect an overt code for proto-fascism. The complete emasculation of all sorts of rights, the corruption, the opaqueness, the self-serving "policies" was not conservative populism, it was outright far-right grift and greed.
Trump, Putin, Netanyahu etc must be brought down on similar principles! Their own peoples must wake up and see how much they are being hurt by these self-serving "leaders"!
