Summary

Hungary’s election on April 3rd is seen by many as the last chance to rid the country of autocratic leader Viktor Orbán, and to reverse the democratic backsliding seen during his time in office. Péter Krekó, senior researcher for the Center for European Policy Analysis, and Dávid Dorozs, Atlantic Council fellow and former MP, join Yasmeen Serhan to discuss Orban’s eroding of democracy, and the opposition alliance seeking to usurp him. “We are into the last minute before midnight for Hungarian democracy.” - Peter Kreko “If Orban wins again, you can expect an even stronger crackdown on democratic institutions.” - Peter Kreko “Orban’s media team will use every smear in the book to bring us down.” - David Dorosz https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Presented by Yasmeen Serhan. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Audio production by Alex Rees. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production Learn more about your ad choices.
