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.

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.

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.

„Marazm, pozorna władza, brak wpływów w UE” – tak prof. Zdzisław Krasnodębski opisuje w Poranku Radia Wnet obecną sytuację Polski. Jego zdaniem kraj stoi przed groźbą politycznego niebytu.Według prof. Zdzisława Krasnodębskiego Polska w ostatnich latach utraciła wpływy w instytucjach europejskich, co przekłada się na brak sprawczości w kluczowych sprawach.Niestety przestaliśmy się liczyć w tej grze, ale może wrócimy. Już za dwa lata są znowu wybory. W tej chwili od 6 sierpnia będzie nowy prezydent. I ja mam nadzieję, że wyjdziemy z tego kryzysu– powiedział.Prof. Krasnodębski wskazał również na trudną sytuację polityczną w Polsce.Generalnie mamy w Polsce ogólny marazm we wszystkich instytucjach, które się tworzą. Nawet ci ludzie, którzy w 2023 roku byli już bardzo zmęczeni Prawem i Sprawiedliwością, chcieli zmiany, chcieli awansu w swoich różnych instytucjach — dzisiaj mówią o tym marazmie, bo widzą w zasadzie powrót ekipy sprzed kilkunastu lat– zaznaczył.Odnosząc się do obecnej roli Donalda Tuska w polskiej polityce, profesor stwierdził, że obecny premier „nie jest tym Donaldem Tuskiem z 2007 roku, tylko tym z końcówki swoich rządów – jakiś wypalony, zmęczony, zdenerwowany.”Geopolityczne wyzwania PolskiJednocześnie europoseł podkreślił, że Polska stoi obecnie przed poważnymi wyzwaniami geopolitycznymi, zarówno w kontekście zagrożeń ze strony Rosji, jak i sporów wewnątrz Unii Europejskiej.Teraz będą zapadały jakieś rozstrzygające decyzje. Być może będzie podjęta próba zmiany traktatu, chociaż nie przypuszczam, bo nie ma ku temu odpowiedniego kontekstu politycznego– mówił.Jego zdaniem w obliczu takiej sytuacji Polska nie może pozwolić sobie na polityczne niebycie i skupianie się wyłącznie na tematach zastępczych.My jako społeczeństwo zapominamy, że polityka to jest podejmowanie zbiorowych decyzji. Takich, które czasami mogą być niepopularne, a za chwilę okazują się konieczne– powiedział. Jako przykład przypomniał kontrowersje sprzed lat wokół budowy Wojsk Obrony Terytorialnej, które początkowo były krytykowane, a później uznane za potrzebne.Na forum unijnym, według profesora, Polska powinna skoncentrować się na budowaniu większości zdolnej zmieniać politykę UE. Jako przykład podał trwające napięcia wokół przewodniczącej Komisji Europejskiej Ursuli von der Leyen.To, że może dojść do głosowania nad wotum nieufności wobec von der Leyen, to już jest sygnał. Widzimy, że grupa patriotów, głównie partia Marine Le Pen, Orban, rzeczywiście zaczyna narzucać swoje przekonania także części prawicowej Europejskiej Partii Ludowej. Gdyby ten kurs się zmienił, mogłoby to znacząco wpłynąć na przyszłość UE– ocenił.Porozumienie patriotówJego zdaniem budowanie politycznych sojuszy jest niezbędne zarówno w Europie, jak i w Polsce.Podejmowanie trudnych decyzji, czasami wbrew nastrojom społecznym i słupkom poparcia, wymaga dużej siły politycznej. I wymaga zjednoczenia polskiej prawicy. To nie musi być zjednoczenie w sensie jednolitości, ale przynajmniej porozumienia w pewnych punktach. A nawet powiedziałbym – zjednoczenia Stronnictwa Patriotycznego. Pewnie z patriotyczną lewicą też można by się dogadać– ocenił prof. Krasnodębski.
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.

"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. Podcast-Tipp: SWR Kultur - Das Wissen Die rücksichtslose Gesellschaft Egoismus, eigene Notlagen und gestiegene Belastung durch Krisen können zu aggressivem Verhalten führen.

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. Estaremos en Washington para analizar la decisión de la corte suprema de Estados Unidos que supone un triunfo para Donald Trump.

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?

Did betrayal doom Constantinople in 1453, or was its fall an inevitable clash of empires? In this insightful episode of the Jeremy Ryan Slate Show, we take a deep dive into one of history's most pivotal moments—the fall of Constantinople.

Christine Orban "Mademoiselle Spencer" (Albin Michel)De son enfance pleine de rêves à sa disparition brutale, Diana Spencer a connu le destin fulgurant d'une héroïne tragique. Mais qui se cachait derrière la princesse trahie et bafouée ? Quels mots n'a-t-elle pas pu dire ?En lui prêtant sa plume pour comprendre de l'intérieur ses non-dits, Christine Orban ressuscite la voix d'une femme qui ne demandait qu'à être aimée. Sacrifiée sur l'autel de la monarchie, Lady Di finira malgré tout par se libérer de ses chaînes. Savant jeu de miroirs, déchirante confession, le portrait intime d'une femme comme les autres mais qui restera à jamais « Mademoiselle Spencer ».Musique : Bob Dylan "Knockin' on Heaven's door"Hébergé par Ausha.

Het is ‘Schover': het kabinet-Schoof is gevallen. PVV-leider Geert Wilders stapt uit de coalitie, waarmee het einde van het kabinet een feit is. Wat betekent dit voor Brussel, de NAVO-top, en kan Dick Schoof nu wél instemmen met een NAVO-norm van 5 procent? Verder spreken we EU-correspondent Saskia Dekkers over dwarsligger Hongarije. De rechtsstaat staat er onder druk, Prides zijn verboden, en de Europese Commissie overweegt maatregelen. Kan Hongarije nog in de EU blijven? De Europese Commissie heeft gezegd dat ze bereid zijn om ‘maatregelen te nemen'. Wat kunnen zij doen? En kunnen we Hongarije niet dumpen uit de EU? Daarnaast aandacht voor de verkiezingsuitslag in Polen en ons date-experiment ‘Europa Date Door'.

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.

Krisztian Marton is 35, schrijver, homo en Hongaars. Zijn autobiografische roman werd onlangs uit de handel gehaald vanwege een nieuwe anti-homowet van de regering-Orban. Aan podcast De Dag vertelt hij hoe het is om gay te zijn in Hongarije en waarom hij zich ondanks mogelijke zware repercussies toch uitspreekt en opkomt voor homorechten in zijn land. Juni is pride-maand: op allerlei plekken in de wereld wordt aandacht besteed aan de positie, emancipatie en acceptatie van de regenboog-gemeenschap. De rechten van de LHBTQI-gemeenschap staan op steeds meer plekken onder druk. In Hongarije is dat al langer het geval, maar nieuwe wetten zijn reden tot grote zorg. Nederland leidt daarom in Europa ook nieuw verzet tegen de wetten in Hongarije en een meerderheid van de Tweede Kamer wil dat kabinetsleden naar de Pride in Boedapest gaan op 28 juni. Die wordt waarschijnlijk verboden. In de podcast hoor je ook de Nederlandse fotograaf Kris Oosting die enkele maanden in Boedapest is neergestreken en wekelijks bij demonstraties tegen de regering-Orban is. En Rémy Bonny is van Forbidden Colours, een ngo die lhbti-rechten onder de aandacht brengt. Hij probeert druk te zetten op de Europese Commissie om met tegenmaatregelen tegen Hongarije te komen.

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

Edition No141 | 10-05-2025 - World leaders attending the military parade in Moscow to mark the end of the second world war bring shame on themselves and their countries. This is what Donald Tusk of Poland said, and I completely concur. Shaking hands with, embracing, and even normalising a blood-thirsty tyrant and killer, and one that is actively engaged in a war with genocidal characteristics against its neighbour and former colonial subject is revolting, despicable, morally bankrupt. Tusk says this after Slovak prime minister Robert Fico became the only European Union leader to attend. Orban was perhaps too concerning about the fragile political situation in Hungary, in case once he left the country he couldn't return. And the home for involuntarily retired dictators and Kremlin puppets in Moscow is becoming a little overcrowded at present. “I try not to comment on the decisions and behaviour of leaders of states, especially from our community,” Tusk told a news conference. “But there is no doubt that being at the victory parade in Moscow and applauding President Putin … brings shame to everyone who is there.”----------Links: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly3807exynohttps://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/05/09/russia-victory-day-putin-ukraine/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/05/09/russia-ukraine-zelensky-putin-war-latest-news529/https://www.nbcnews.com/world/europe/russia-parade-world-war-ii-putin-china-xi-trade-deal-tariffs-rcna205534https://www.aa.com.tr/en/world/zelenskyy-calls-upcoming-victory-day-parade-in-moscow-parade-of-cynicism-/3560667https://kyivindependent.com/death-regiment-counters-russias-victory-day-celebrations-in-many-protests/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/vladimir-putin-nazi-germany-kremlin-ukraine-russia-b2746910.html----------Your support is massively appreciated!

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.

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

Romania made headlines—and shocked the world—when it annulled a presidential election at the end of last year, citing evidence of foreign interference aimed at supporting a pro-Russian far-right candidate. It was a bold and necessary move, one that stands in stark contrast to what the U.S. should have done—and is now facing the consequences for not doing. But why would Romania take such a decisive stand? The answer lies in its history. Romania's Moscow-backed dictatorship was among the most brutal behind the Iron Curtain, a painful past that still unites much of the country today. In this week's episode, we delve into Romania's complex history, weaving in a personal story from Andrea's own family. Her father-in-law, Mihai Victor Serdaru, a medical student in 1956 Bucharest, attempted to lead a student protest in solidarity with the Hungarian Uprising next door. To help make sense of her years of research, Andrea turned to Dr. Corina Snitar, a historian and Lecturer in Central and Eastern European Studies at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. Dr. Snitar is the author of Opposition, Repression, and Cold War: The 1956 Student Movement in Timișoara and contributed the chapter Women's Experiences of 1956: Student Protesters and Partisans in Romania to the book Women's Experiences of Repression in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. The discussion of how to topple a dictator will continue in this week's bonus show for our Patreon community, where we'll dive into a lively book club salon for political scientist Gene Sharp's revolutionary handbook, From Dictatorship to Democracy. Sharp's work has inspired liberation movements worldwide, and we'll explore its urgent lessons for us today. Look for that on Friday. A huge thank you to everyone who supports the show. We could not make Gaslit Nation without you! “Just as military officers must understand force structures, tactics, logistics, munitions, the effects of geography, and the like in order to plot military strategy, political defiance planners must understand the nature and strategic principles of nonviolent struggle.” ― Gene Sharp, From Dictatorship to Democracy Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?
