BUDAPEST: ORBAN COMPLAINS OF THE EU DEAL. VICTORIA HERCZEGH. 1949

From BBLs to American Eagle Nazi Aestetic, this is a banger. Heavy International coverage from the Pad Thai scuffle in Thailand and Cambodia, to new "revolutionary" incentives in Ukraine and Russia, Putin not stopping in Ukraine is back in the Mainstream minds, Moldova and Georgia fall among the mix. The EU Tariff Deal pops into the discussion as well as Trump's new deadline. Some kids in NYC figured out how to steal $17 million in 3 days, and a couple of white people want to return to the land.

Florian Schroeder ist erschüttert darüber, wie sehr EU-Kommissionspräsidentin von der Leyen beim Zoll-Deal zwischen Trump und der EU eingeknickt ist. Unser WDR 2 Kabarettist hasst es, dem Rechtspopulisten Orban recht geben zu müssen, der sagt: "Trump hat von der Leyen zum Frühstück verspeist". Von Florian Schroeder.

Premierul Viktor Orbán l-a întrebat pe astronautul maghiar Tibor Kapu, în timp ce acesta efectua o misiune la bordul Stației Spațiale Internaționale, dacă războiul din Ucraina se vede din... spațiu. Astronautul a luat parte la misiunea Axiom 4, alături de astronauți din 30 de țări, care au petrecut 20 de zile la bordul Stației Internaționale. „Misiune îndeplinită! Tibor Kapu se întoarce pe Pământ! O mare mândrie pentru Ungaria!”, a scris prim-ministrul Viktor Orbán pe Facebook cu ocazia întoarcerii Misiunii Axiom 4, săptămâna trecută, relatează telex.hu. Axiom Space a fost prima companie care a trimis o misiune privată la Stația Spațială Internațională pentru a efectua experimente. Astronauți din 31 de țări au efectuat 60 experimente legate de imprimarea 3D, motoare ionice sau ADN-ul uman. „Ungaria a fost readusă pe harta spațială în ultimele săptămâni și, credeți-mă, este foarte vizibilă de aici”, a declarat maghiarul Tibor Kapu în spațiu. Astronautul a avut, de asemenea, o conversație cu Viktor Orbán pe când se afla la bordul ISS. Premierul i-a spus astronautului că nu pot vorbi despre politică, religie, publicitate, gen, încălzire globală și pseudoștiință, însă l-a întrebat dacă războiul din Ucraina este vizibil din spațiu, mai scrie publicația citată. De ce vrea Orban ca opoziția de la Momentum să participe la parlamentarele din 2026 Fostul președinte al partidului maghiar de stânga Momentum, András-Fekete Győr, a susținut într-o emisiune la radio că partidul premierului Orban, Fidesz a încercat în repetate rânduri să încurajeze Momentum să participe la alegerile parlamentare din 2026 după ce formațiunea a anunțat că nu se va prezenta. Momentum susține că șansele sale sunt mici și că nu vrea să fragmenteze votul opoziției care are oportunitatea de a înlătura regimul Orban. „Fidesz are un interes personal în a se asigura că participă la alegeri cât mai multe partide. Prin urmare, nu a apreciat decizia Momentum de a nu se prezenta”, a explicat politicianul citat de 24.hu. Acesta spune că Fidesz ar fi propus partidului Momentum o sumă foarte mare de bani, aproximativ un miliard de forinți ( 2,5 milioane de euro.) Partidul lui Orban s-ar fi oferit și să strângă semnăturile pentru candidații Momentum. Fekete-Győr a ținut să sublinieze că partidul a respins această ofertă. Cum a încercat opoziția din Slovacia să forțeze mâna guvernului privind sancțiunile anti Rusia Partidul slovac de opoziție, Libertate și Solidaritate (SaS) susține că l-a prins în capcană pe premierul Robert Fico și că acesta trebuie să voteze în favoarea sancțiunilor împotriva Rusiei, relatează spravy.pravda.sk. Declarația a fost făcută într-o conferință de presă de liderul SaS, Branislav Gröhling. „Acum câțiva ani, Fico a spus că, dacă o cincime dintre parlamentari propun o poziție privind afacerile europene, iar Parlamentul nu decide altfel în termen de 14 zile, acea poziție devine valabilă. Așadar, s-a exprimat deja o poziție conform căreia guvernului trebuie să susțină sancțiunile propuse de Uniunea Europeană împotriva Rusiei. Poziția este sprijinită de peste 30 de parlamentari ai opoziției. Întrucât Parlamentul nu s-a întrunit în termen de 14 zile pentru modificarea acesteia, SaS consideră că decizia este în vigoare și obligatorie pentru guvern,” a adăugat politicianul din opoziție. Robert Fico condiționa sprijinul pentru cel de-al 18-lea pachet de sancțiuni împotriva Rusiei de obținerea de garanții de securitate energetică și stabilitatea prețurilor în Slovacia. El este deosebit de îngrijorat de planul Comisiei Europene de a pune capăt importurilor de gaze rusești începând cu 1 ianuarie 2028. Opoziția susține că prim-ministrul apără interesele rusești, mai degrabă decât pe cele ale cetățenilor slovaci. „Acesta este interesul public: să nu ne aflăm într-o zi sub ocupație rusească, așa cum s-a întâmplat cu georgienii, ucrainenii sau moldovenii. Domnule prim-ministru, scopul este să-l slăbim pe Putin, astfel încât într-o bună zi să nu ne trezim în spatele sârmei ghimpate precum oamenii din Abhazia sau Osetia de Sud”, a declarat o politiciană din opoziție.   Au participat la Revista Presei, Europa Plus: Kevin KOVÁCS, Ungaria Anna Réka, RÁFI, Ungaria Dominika ZVARIKOVÁ, Slovacia

In episode 2 of The Right Kind of Family, our reporters travel to Hungary, a country ruled by Viktor Orban's Fidezs party since 2010. This relatively small central European country has surged to the role of ideological cornerstone for the Political Network for Values and its members. In particular, our reporters focus on one specific dimension of the policies enacted by the Orban over the past decade: family policies as a tool to stop population decline.The Hungarian government proudly defines its country as a family-friendly land. But what exactly are the famed policies of the Hungarian government, and how do they affect Hungarian households and women? What do Hungarians think about them, and ultimately, are they effective in halting population decline?

Take a look at Conducttr's services and its crisis exercise software at: https://www.conducttr.comThis is a conversation with Szabolcs Panyi, a Hungarian investigative journalist. I wanted to talk to Szabolcs because something remarkable has been happening in Hungarian politics. Viktor Orban, the prime minister who has ruled Hungary for over almost two decades is now for the first time ever, losing by a large margin in the polls to a new challenger. The elections are less than a year from now and it's starting to look more and more likely that Viktor Orban's rule might be coming to an end. And so we discuss why - who is Orban's new challenger, why is he able to succeed where so many before failed, and what would his victory mean for Hungary but also for Russia, Ukraine and European politics at large. 

Viktor Orban na poważnie mówi o wyjściu Węgier z Unii Europejskiej. Min. Sikorski komentuje: zrobił z Węgier najbiedniejszy kraj UE. Do tego prowadzi złodziejstwo i nacjonalizm! Dziś także o planach NATO likwidacji Okręgu Królewieckiego, o nowych sankcjach na Rosję oraz o nepotyzmie w polskiej armii. #IPPTVNaŻywo #polityka #Orban #Kaczyński #UniaEuropejska ----------------------------------------------------

What do the arts have to do with resisting authoritarianism? And how do we, as creative community leaders, keep pushing for democracy when the odds feel stacked against us?If you've been feeling overwhelmed by the news, discouraged by political setbacks, or unsure how artists and cultural organizers fit into this urgent fight, you're not alone. This episode brings powerful insights from the 22nd Century Initiative Gathering in Atlanta—where movement leaders, activists, and artists came together to ask the big questions: How do we stop the rise of authoritarianism? And what does it look like to build a resilient, creative resistance?Discover the proven strategies of nonviolent resistance that have toppled regimes and fortified democracies around the world.Learn why loneliness fuels authoritarianism—and how art can be the antidote by reconnecting communities.Hear how artists are not just reflecting change, but making it: organizing, blocking, bridging, and building democracy in real time.Listen now to explore how you—as an artist, funder, or cultural leader—can be a strategic force in resisting authoritarianism and imagining a democratic future worth fighting for.Here's an expanded list of the key figures, events, organizations, and publications mentioned in the podcast transcript—now with richer context and updated hyperlinks for deeper exploration:

Țările care derapează de la normele statului de drept ar urma să piardă miliarde de euro în anii următori. Comisia Europeană este pregătită să strângă șurubul, odată cu noul buget multianual. Ungaria ar fi prima afectată, dar nu numai. Planul de cheltuieli al UE pentru perioada 2028-2034, care urmează să fie publicat în această săptămână, va extinde legătura dintre plăți și regresul democratic, potrivit unui document consultat de Politico. Această mișcare este probabil să exacerbeze tensiunile dintre Comisie și prim-ministrul ungar Viktor Orbán, care se confruntă cu perspectiva foarte reală de a pierde puterea după 15 ani, în urma alegerilor programate pentru 2026. El a avut o relație turbulentă cu factorii de decizie din UE și cu guvernele partenere, care au criticat ceea ce acestea consideră a fi politici favorabile Rusiei și regimurilor autoritare. Pe de o parte, UE a luat măsuri împotriva Ungariei și a reținut deja o parte din finanțare. De partea sa, Orbán a pus probleme amenințând că va bloca eforturile europene de a sancționa Moscova. În aceste condiții, următorul buget va conține un sistem de condiționalitate simplificat și armonizat pentru toate fondurile UE alocate statelor membre, conform documentului văzut de publicația europeană. Citeste siSimion pentru V. Orban: aliat sau extremist Aceasta vine după ce mai multe țări ale UE au susținut întărirea legăturii dintre statul de drept și finanțare în documentele lor prezentate Comisiei înainte de propunerea de buget. Ungaria, însă, a replicat în propriul document că aceste reguli „permit exercitarea unei presiuni politice arbitrare în domenii care nu au legătură cu protejarea bugetului Uniunii”. Slovacia, care a fost, de asemenea, criticată din cauza problemelor legate de statul de drept, a reiterat aceste argumente în propria sa declarație. Ungaria a pierdut deja 18 miliarde de euro din finanțarea europeană, din cauza încălcărilor legislației comunitare. Conform planului actual, bugetul ar conține o legătură directă între încălcarea statului de drept de către un guvern și plata aferentă. Aceasta înseamnă că, deși subvențiile pentru fermieri vor rămâne, programele de schimburi de studenți ar putea avea de suferit. De exemplu, dacă există încălcări ale libertății academice. Comisia dorește ca banii să continue să ajungă la beneficiarii finanțării UE - cum ar fi ONG-urile sau universitățile, în ceea ce se numește ”condiționare inteligentă”. Ideea generală este că societatea civilă nu ar trebui să suporte povara greșelilor unui lider. După publicarea sa, guvernele vor începe negocierile între ele privind un text final - dar acesta este un proces îndelungat care nu se așteaptă să se încheie până în 2027. Și este posibil ca, până atunci, Viktor Orbán nici să nu se mai afle la putere.   Ascultați rubrica ”Eurocronica”, cu Ovidiu Nahoi, în fiecare zi, de luni până vineri, de la 8.45 și în reluare duminica, de la 15.00, numai la RFI România

Fresh off its award-winning run in Europe, Democracy Noir arrives in the United States as a very timely documentary film about how Viktor Orbán politically reshaped Hungary. It paints an incisive portrait of how Orbán used a free and democratic election to install authoritarian rule, enjoying widespread approval from Hungarian nationalists as well as from conservatives around the world inclined to his illiberal views. He changed the constitution, took over the courts and the media, and dismantled the rule of law. Admired by Donald Trump and the Heritage Foundation, Orban's influence helped shape Project 2025 and the current policies of the Republican Party. Democracy Noir tells this story through the activism of its three subjects: opposition politician Timea Szabo, journalist Babett Oroszi, and nurse Nikoletta (Niko) Antal. It details how unchecked power can quickly remove rights that once were taken for granted, and it shows how three women come to terms with their country's unravelling social and cultural landscape. Studying the recent history of another country whose political trajectory mirrors your own can bring clarity to your situation. Join us to view, and then to discuss, this example of an increasingly emboldened far right political party and the rise of autocratic politicians around the world.

Gościem najnowszej Melliny jest dziennikarz Dariusz Rosiak autor Raportu o stanie świata. Jednego z najpopularniejszych programów w polskim internecie. Rosiak mówi m.in. o przyczynach konfliktu Izraela z Iranem, wpływu Ameryki na świat, dokonuje też analizy zachowania Donalda Trumpa, który może wydawać się nierozsądny - choć to bardzo przemyślana strategia. Rosiak ocenia też polskich dziennikarzy, którzy niemal włączyli się w kampanię prezydencką w Polsce "jeżeli uczestniczycie w kampanii jednego z polityków to nie jesteście dziennikarzami" - mówił w rozmowie z Marcinem Mellerem.

Why is Georgia drifting toward authoritarianism? Why is its current government aligning more closely with Russia and blaming its predecessors for Russia's 2008 invasion of Georgia? How are the histories of Ukraine and Georgia deeply intertwined—and why are these two countries key to understanding Eastern Europe? My name is Volodymyr Yermolenko. I am a Ukrainian philosopher, the chief editor of UkraineWorld, and the president of PEN Ukraine. My guest today is Tornike Gordadze, former Georgian State Minister for Euro-Atlantic Integration. He currently teaches at Sciences Po and the Jacques Delors Institute in Paris. We recorded this conversation in Tbilisi during the vibrant Zeg Festival, where both Tornike and I were participants.

"In Washington, there's a new Sheriff in town." Mit diesem Wild-West-Spruch machte JD Vance auf der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz klar, was die Europäer von Trump zu erwarten haben. Und tatsächlich, der US-Präsident lässt keinen Zweifel: Ich bin stark, ich kann machen, was ich will! Den ukrainischen Präsidenten vor laufender Kamera demütigen? Why not! Grönland besetzen, Vertreibungsfantasien für Gaza entwickeln? Aber klar! Die Nationalgarde in Kalifornien am Gouverneur vorbei unter das eigene Kommando stellen? Nichts ist ausgeschlossen. Deal oder Dresche! Die Politik der Rücksichtslosigkeit scheint salonfähig geworden zu sein. Nicht nur in den USA: Russlands Präsident Putin führt Krieg in Europa, Erdogan lässt seinen stärksten politischen Gegner verhaften, Ungarns Regierungschef Orban baut sein autokratisches System aus. Sie alle machen eine Politik der Rücksichtslosen. Muss das sein? Welche Konsequenzen hat das? Und wie sehen andere Wege aus? Darüber wollen wir reden mit Prof. Dr. Jessica Gienow-Hecht vom John-F.-Kennedy-Institut an der FU Berlin, mit dem Psychologen Prof. Dr. Siegfried Preiser, mit dem Kommunikationsexperten Dr. Johannes Hillje und mit dem Politikwissenschaftler Albrecht von Lucke.

In der heutigen Folge spricht Thilo mit Daniel Freund - er ist Europaabgeordneter der Grünen und engagierter Korruptionsbekämpfer. In Ungarn gilt er als der meistgehasste EU-Politiker, weil er offen das System von Viktor Orbán kritisiert und maßgeblich daran beteiligt war, EU-Gelder für Ungarn einzufrieren. Thilo war für eine Recherche zur Pride in Budapest vor Ort und hat Daniel Freund dort zum Interview getroffen. Im Podcast sprechen die beiden über die systematische Korruption und den Machtmissbrauch unter Orbán, der Ungarn in einen „Mafiastaat“ verwandelt hat. Freund erklärt, wie öffentliche Aufträge gezielt an Freunde und Familie vergeben werden und wie das Land wirtschaftlich und gesellschaftlich darunter leidet. Außerdem geht es darum, wie autoritäre und korrupte Strukturen Demokratien auch in anderen Ländern bedrohen – und warum der Kampf dagegen so wichtig ist. Hast du Fragen, Feedback oder Anmerkungen?

En 2025, hay países que condenan con pena de muerte o cadena perpetua las relaciones homosexuales. Pero hay países en los que aunque no sea ilegal, tener una una orientación sexual diferente de la que consideran natural implica tener que pagar un precio muy alto en el día a día. Pero del otro lado, el matrimonio igualitario es legal en 37 países miembros de las Naciones Unidas. Y cada año se suman más.Vamos a hablar de ello, de la prohibición de Viktor Orban en Hungría para la celebración de la manifestacion del orgullo y de las dificultades que tienen las personas que necesitan pedir asilo por este motivo.Hablaremos de la situación en la Cisjordania ocupada con los ataques de los colonos que se están incrementando.

Mentre a Bruxelles i leader dei Ventisette restano divisi sul dossier russo, con il no di Orban all’adesione dell’Ucraina all’UE e la probabile opposizione della Slovacchia al diciottesimo pacchetto di sanzioni contro il Cremlino, Washington e Teheran continuano a proclamare, ciascuna, la propria vittoria. Ne parliamo con Sergio Nava, inviato di Radio24 a Bruxelles, Antonio Villafranca, Vicepresidente per la Ricerca di Ispi, e con Francesco Petronella, giornalista, esperto di Medio Oriente di Ispi.

With the world on the brink of another war, there's no one more essential to hear from than Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and author of Gulag, Iron Curtain, Red Famine (which cites Andrea's grandfather, a Holodomor survivor), Twilight of Democracy, and Autocracy Inc. In this urgent conversation, we go to the frontlines of authoritarianism, from MAGA's playbook at home to Putin's alliances abroad, from Orban's Hungary to the rising threat of war with Iran. We begin in Poland. In 2023, a broad democratic coalition ousted the far-right, anti-LGBTQ+ Law and Justice party, which had spent years eroding democratic institutions. But in a razor-thin presidential race this year, that same authoritarian force clawed its way back. The takeaway? Democracy isn't a destination. It's a constant, high-stakes battle. “Everybody always wants to write the story of populism and say that it's over, or it's here for good, or we're finished, or we've won. And that's not what the story is going to look like,” says Applebaum. “This is the ongoing struggle that all of us will be in, probably for the next few decades, maybe into the foreseeable future. The argument about the nature of the state is now here with us. And neither one side nor the other has achieved a definitive victory, I would say, either in Europe or in the United States.” Then, Iran. Trump launched airstrikes without congressional approval or public debate, risking another U.S. war. Many in the Iranian opposition welcome blows to the brutal regime, but without strategy or legality, this is more of Trump's lawless chaos. Meanwhile, Putin watches. His alliance with Iran is not ideological, but tactical, with one shared mission: destabilize democracies and sow chaos worldwide. Applebaum discusses how Hungary became the MAGA model, what Poland's resistance can teach the U.S., and why the fight for democracy is far from over. This isn't a time for hope alone. It's a time to act. Because autocracy isn't resting. And neither can we. Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

You've probably heard that authoritarianism is on the rise across the globe. Increasingly, countries are adopting policies that undermine democracy, reduce accountability, and erode civil liberties and human rights. But why is authoritarianism on the rise, and how do authoritarian leaders come to power? Lauded by Donald Trump and condemned by rights-defenders, Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban provides a useful case study for those hoping to better understand the authoritarians' playbook. This week, host Ngofeen Mputubwele speaks to a Hungarian journalist and civil liberties strategist to map Orban's journey to autocracy, and how his lurch towards authoritarianism has decimated civil liberties and allowed him to exert a stranglehold on Hungarian politics for more than 15 years. Stefania Kopronczay: Former director of the Hungarian Civil Liberties Union; visiting scholar at Columbia University Viktória Serdült: Journalist at HVG.HU

In Episode 211, Dave starts the show discussing the ramifications of the Romanian, Polish, and the future Hungary election. The globalists already took Romania off the board and now they're trying to do it again in Poland this weekend. Orban and Hungary are in their sights in 2026. From there, he discusses $66M worth of fraud being perpetrated at the USDA. Dave closes the show discussing a Project Veritas video and the left's continued lawfare.

President Trump's approval rating has fallen to near-historic lows. With economic disruption from the tariffs likely to hit next month, his numbers will probably get even worse; this administration could reach unprecedented levels of unpopularity. If I were a far-right populist, I would be thinking hard about a strategy to prevent the blowback from crippling the movement. Such a strategy is easy to come by. Anger over DOGE and deportations has a natural floor. If Trump's base starts abandoning him, it will be because of the tariffs. But tariffs aren't a load-bearing part of the MAGA platform. Other right-populist leaders like Orban, Bukele, and Modi show no interest in them. They seem an idiosyncratic obsession of Trump's, a cost that the rest of the movement pays to keep him around. So, (our hypothetical populist strategist might start thinking after Trump's approval hits the ocean trenches and starts drilling) - whatever. MAGA minus Trump's personal idiosyncrasies can remain a viable platform. You don't even have to exert any effort to make it happen. Trump will retire in 2028 and pass the torch to Vance. And although Vance supports tariffs now, that's only because he's a spineless toady. After Trump leaves the picture, Vance will gain thirty IQ points, make an eloquent speech about how tariffs were the right tool for the mid-2020s but no longer, and the problem will solve itself. Right? Don't let them get away with this. Although it's true that tariffs owe as much to Trump's idiosyncrasies as to the inexorable logic of right-wing populism, the ability of a President to hold the nation hostage to his own idiosyncrasies is itself a consequence of populist ideology. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-populist-right-must-own-tariffs

The first 100 days of Trump's second term have come to an end… so, what comes next? Overseas, Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has transformed his country into electoral autocracy using tactics that bear a striking resemblance to those currently playing out in Trump's America. To close out the Trumpland series, MSNBC's Alex Wagner travels to Hungary and speaks with lawyers, journalists, politicians, and advocates on the ground who offer important lessons for America while they continue to fight for democracy in their own country. Sign up for MSNBC Premium on Apple Podcasts to listen to this episode ad-free, plus get an upcoming exclusive bonus episode of Trumpland!

Viktor Orban is in his fourth consecutive term as Prime Minister of Hungary. In that time, he has dismantled democratic checks and balances, taken control of the country's media, civil society and universities, and consolidated power in him and his Fidesz party. NPR's Rob Schmitz looks at how Orban's step-by-step dismantling of Hungary's democracy has become a point of fascination for political scientists around the world, including those advising the Trump administration.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
