AUTHLIB principal investigator Petra Guasti (Charles University) joined the “Kecy & politika” podcast to explain the workings of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Hungary to the Czech audience in early January 2025. If you understand Czech, don’t miss it!
How has Viktor Orbán managed to bend the democratic system and its instruments to ensure his grip on power in Hungary since 2010? How has the Hungarian governing party redraw electoral districts to make it impossible for the opposition to succeed? Could Slovak prime minister Robert Fico succeed in applying his model? How about Czech prime minister hopeful Andrej Babiš?
Did the pro-family policies of the Fidesz government succeed in Hungary? Why are other countries trying to copy them? How does the country’s economy fair after 15 years of Fidesz governance? What are the prospects of Hungary’s EU relations?
The discussion covered these and many other interesting topics about Orbán’s Hungary.
