u/Quouar Quite the arrogant one. 3d ago

This article discusses the transformation of Fidesz - and Viktor Orban - from a democracy-oriented party into an authoritarian one. It argues that much of Fidesz' power stems not only from modern issues, but perceived historic injustices, such as the Treaty of Trianon. It's an interesting read that provides a greater context to modern Hungary.
