Following Viktor Orbán’s debut on American prime time with his interview with Tucker Carlson, Adam catches up with Ferenc Laczo, a political and intellectual historian at Maastricht University, and an editor with the CEU’s Review of Democracy. They explore Orbán’s attempts to build himself as a leader of right-wing politics, the current situation in the country, and what might we expect ahead of next year’s parliamentary elections.ResourcesLegacy of Division: East and West after 1989 https://www.eurozine.com/about-eurozine/print-series/ RevDem podcasts https://democracyinstitute.ceu.edu/revdem-podcasts Check out our exclusive Zoom discussion (for patrons only) with Szabolsc Panyi on Hungarian media: https://www.patreon.com/posts/tee-patron-zoom-47909846 Women protests in Belarus, online discussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I4--qNTdi4 Political system in Belarus, online discussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPcCmV7eqzU&t >>>>> Check out the newest issue of the magazine on Belarus here: https://bit.ly/3kd5OGN
