Podcast appearances and mentions of viktor orban

Recenta vizită a premierului ungar Viktor Orban la Kremlin are urmări – și urmări nedorite de liderul de la Budapesta. Președintele Poloniei, Karol Nawrocki, a anulat o întâlnire cu prim-ministrul Ungariei, anunță agenția EFE, citată de Agerpres și Caleaeuropeană.ro. Conform unui mesaj publicat pe rețeaua de socializare X de către responsabilul pentru politică internațională în cadrul președinției poloneze, „președintele Nawrocki a decis să limiteze programul vizitei sale în Ungaria exclusiv la summitul președinților Grupului de la Vișegrad”. Liderii țărilor care fac parte din Grupul de la Vișegrad – Polonia, Cehia, Slovacia și Ungaria – se reunesc miercuri în orașul ungar Esztergom. În cadrul vizitei sale în Ungaria pentru această întâlnire, președintele Nawrocki și soția sa urmau să se întâlnească joi, la Budapesta, cu președintele Ungariei, Tamas Sulyok și cu șeful guvernului, Viktor Orban, potrivit cotidianului polonez „Gazeta Wyborcza”. Și alte critici s-au făcut auzite. În marja summitului germano-sloven  de vineri, cancelarul german Friedrich Merz a declarat că premierul ungar nu a avut „mandat european”. Premierul sloven Robert Golob a fost de acord cu Merz, afirmând că nu se așteaptă la niciun beneficiu sau avantaj de pe urma acestei vizite. Vizita lui Orbán la Moscova ar putea fi considerată un act ostil împotriva UE, potrivit lui Jacob Kirkegaard, expert în cadrul think-tank-ului Bruegel, care susține că Ungaria sabotează eforturile UE de a obține un acord de pace echitabil pentru Ucraina. Acționând singură, Budapesta subminează, de asemenea, unitatea UE în deciziile cheie privind diversificarea surselor de aprovizionare și renunțarea la combustibilii fosili rusești. De asemenea, Ungaria afectează menținerea presiunii asupra Rusiei prin sancțiuni și integrarea economiei Ucrainei în blocul comunitar. Tomasz Słomka, profesor de științe politice la Universitatea din Varșovia, a declarat pentru postul polonez TV24 că decizia de a anula întâlnirea cu premierul ungar demonstrează că Nawrocki își consolidează independența politică. Atitudinea președintelui polonez este în conformitate cu poziția guvernului, care limitează relațiile sale cu Viktor Orbán. În același timp, este în concordanță cu ceea ce a susținut președintele polonez cu privire la relația sa cu Rusia, a spus expertul, adăugând că Nawrocki se află pe lista persoanelor care sunt deosebit de antipatizate de Moscova. Să nu uităm că alegerea lui Nawrocki ca președinte al Poloniei, la 1 iunie anul acesta, a fost salutată de Viktor Orbán, ca și de către extrema dreaptă din România. Dar atitudinea fermă a președintelui polonez în privința Rusiei îi lasă în afara jocului atât pe liderul de la Budapesta cât și pe admiratorii săi declarați de la extrema dreaptă din România.   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

Viktor Orbán traf in Moskau Wladimir Putin, um Ungarns Energieversorgung für das kommende Jahr abzusichern. Neben Öl und Gas ging es auch um die Idee eines neuen Gipfeltreffens zwischen Putin und Donald Trump in Budapest. In der EU sorgte der Besuch für Kritik, besonders Bundeskanzler Merz warf Orbán einen nicht abgestimmten Alleingang vor.

Ungarns Rechtsstaatlichkeit steht erneut im Fokus der EU. Ein Zwischenbericht des Europäischen Parlaments verurteilt Budapest. Dies erhöht den Druck vor den Wahlen im nächsten Jahr. Die Regierungspartei von Viktor Orbán spricht von einer politisch motivierten „Hexenjagd“.

Why is Ukraine plastered across Hungary's billboards and campaign ads as if it were on the ballot itself? And what does Viktor Orbán really gain from keeping Volodymyr Zelensky in the minds, hearts and social media algorithms of Hungarians?In this episode of the Visegrad Insight Podcast, Wojciech Przybylski speaks with Viktória Serdült, journalist at HVG in Budapest, about how Ukraine became the central prop of Hungary's permanent election campaign.Together they discuss:How the ‘pro-war / pro-peace' propaganda line turned into a full-blown anti-Ukraine campaign in HungaryWhy Zelensky, Ursula von der Leyen and Péter Magyar are glued together on Fidesz billboards as the alleged ‘pro-war' trioWhat ordinary Hungarians actually think about the war and Ukraine's EU membership, beyond government messagingThe role of the Hungarian minority in Ukraine and long-term mistrust in shaping public opinionHow agriculture, gas transit and EU funds quietly sit behind the slogans about peace and sovereigntyWhy Russia is barely mentioned in Budapest's rhetoric about a war that Moscow startedWhat to watch in 2025–2026 as Hungary heads into yet another high-stakes electoral cycle with Ukraine at the centreWatch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/jdmBOuqQgLwListen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6DjmhfAz6U2y4zOqa9zQ5u?si=z-nh1ZYNQj6dtGUp1V3Kbg

Du grec kleptos, le “vol” et cratia, le “pouvoir”, la kleptocratie est littéralement un gouvernement de voleurs. C'est donc un système politique où le gouvernement pratique à grande échelle la corruption et le blanchiment d'argent. Plusieurs régimes ont été accusés d'être des kleptocraties, comme celui de Mouammar Kadhafi en Libye ou celui de Viktor Orbán en Hongrie. Comment reconnaître une kleptocratie ? Dans quels pays sont-elles susceptibles de s'installer ? Les démocraties occidentales sont-elles sujettes à ce phénomène ?

C dans l'air du 28 novembre 2025 - Plan de paix : Poutine a-t-il déjà gagné ? Encore une nuit de frappes sur l'Ukraine. Missiles et drones ne laissent que peu de répit aux habitants, alors que les discussions autour du plan de paix américain pour mettre fin à la guerre entre l'Ukraine et la Russie se poursuivent. Jeudi, Vladimir Poutine a déclaré que les grandes lignes de ce plan pourraient servir de base à de « futurs accords » visant à mettre fin au conflit, tout en excluant de signer un document avec les autorités de Kiev, qu'il juge toujours « illégitimes ». Inflexible sur le fond, le président russe a réaffirmé que Moscou mettra fin à son offensive que si les forces ukrainiennes « se retirent des territoires qu'elles occupent » − sans préciser lesquels. « Dans le cas contraire, nous atteindrons nos objectifs militaires », a-t-il menacé.La cession par Kiev à Moscou des régions de Donetsk et de Lougansk figurait dans le plan originel en 28 points présenté la semaine dernière par les États-Unis, plan qui a été perçu par beaucoup à Kiev, en Europe mais aussi outre-Atlantique, comme une capitulation. Le texte a depuis été remanié après des consultations avec l'Ukraine et les Européens. Mais aux États-Unis, le débat sur l'origine réelle de ce plan se poursuit et a mis le feu au Parti républicain, depuis la révélation par le média Bloomberg de conversations entre Steve Witkoff et des proches de Vladimir Poutine, dans lesquelles l'envoyé spécial de Donald Trump apparaît aligné sur la posture russe.Sur le continent, les dirigeants de l'Union européenne tentent de se dresser unis contre la Russie et défendent un plan de paix respectueux de la souveraineté ukrainienne. Pour autant, le Premier ministre hongrois détonne. Viktor Orbán a promis, lors d'une rencontre avec le président Vladimir Poutine ce vendredi au Kremlin, de poursuivre les importations d'hydrocarbures russes dont son pays continue de dépendre. Le président russe, de son côté, s'est dit « très heureux » de la poursuite des relations entre les deux pays, basées selon lui sur le « pragmatisme ».Parallèlement, les autorités anticorruption ukrainiennes ont mené ce vendredi des perquisitions au domicile d'Andriy Iermak, chef de cabinet du président Zelensky. Une nouvelle qui fragilise le président ukrainien, à un moment où il poursuit sa quête d'appuis financiers et militaires en Europe, et alors que Kiev mène des pourparlers très difficiles sur le plan de paix. Andriy Iermak est le négociateur clé dans ce processus.Que contient le plan de paix en discussion ? Que sait-on des perquisitions en cours et de l'affaire de corruption qui secoue l'Ukraine depuis des mois ? Enfin, comment les pays baltes se préparent-ils face à la menace russe ?

Nexperia Europe stuurt een open brief aan het Chinese deel van het concern in een poging het vastgelopen contact en de interne machtsstrijd te herstellen. Bedrijvendokter Anton Wiggers noemt de stap ‘een open uitnodiging om samen tot een oplossing te komen', waarbij zowel diplomatieke druk als economische belangen een rol spelen. Het conflict raakt ook de Europese auto-industrie en wordt nauwlettend gevolgd door overheden aan beide zijden.De Tweede Kamer spreekt zich uit tegen het inhouden van loon van arbeidsmigranten als vergoeding voor huisvesting, maar demissionair minister Mariëlle Paul verzet zich tegen een snelle afschaffing. Raymond Puts - CEO van OTTO Work Force - wijst op het risico van terugkeer van misbruik zonder een gecontroleerde regeling: ‘Het medicijn mag niet erger zijn dan de kwaal', aldus Puts. Dinsdag vindt de stemming over het voorstel plaats, waarbij de discussie zich vooral toespitst op controleerbaarheid en het scheiden van wonen en werken.De Hongaarse premier Viktor Orban reist vandaag naar Moskou voor overleg met de Russische president Vladimir Poetin, zonder afstemming met de Europese Unie. Volgens Hongarije-correspondent Stefan Bos profileert Orban zich als bruggenbouwer, maar blijft het bezoek omstreden binnen Brussel vanwege zijn nauwe banden met Rusland en China.

Patnáct let stojí v čele Maďarska premiér Viktor Orbán a jeho strana Fidesz hladce vyhrává všechny parlamentní volby. Příští rok v dubnu by se to ale mohlo změnit, v předvolebních průzkumech totiž stabilně vede opoziční Tisza. „Jsme si velmi jisti, že vedoucí pozici udržíme. Lidé stále více touží po změně ve společnosti, v ekonomice, v životě celé země. A navzdory veškerému útlaku, který vláda vyvíjí, se už lidé nebojí,“ říká místopředseda opoziční strany Zoltán Tarr.Všechny díly podcastu Interview Plus můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has been at the helm of Hungary for fifteen years. However this could change next April as the opposition Tisza party is consistently leading in the pre-election polls. „We are very confident that we will maintain our leading position. People are increasingly eager for change in society, in the economy, in the life of the whole country. And despite all the oppression people are no longer afraid,“ says Zoltán Tarr.Všechny díly podcastu Interview Plus můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

In April 2026, Hungarians go to the polls again. The choice is framed as ‘war and peace' by Viktor Orbán, and ‘corruption and oligarchy' by Péter Magyar. But is Hungary's real problem that its oligarchs are not independent tycoons at all, but extensions of the state itself?In this Visegrad Insight videocast, Wojciech Przybylski speaks with two insiders of Hungary's economic and political transformation: former central banker and regional investment banker András Simor and former economy minister and governor of the National Bank of Hungary Péter Ákos Bod.This podcast joins the series of conversations within the pilot Polish-Hungarian bilateral framework at the Europe Future Format by the Res Publica Foundation.Learn more about this format: https://europefuture.forum/europe-future-forum-polish-hungarian-perspectives/.Explore Europe Future Forum: https://europefuture.forumWatch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/r-l242SBIbMListen on Apple Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/pl/podcast/visegrad-insight-podcast/id1515725435Listen on Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/7aA9iqd8rUxFMYMemjikuw?si=68781dd9de824b6b

Does the European Parliament have a new majority? Is the EPP normalizing the far-right?

In this episode, Matt digs into modern Hungarian politics with Zoltan Kesz, exploring how Viktor Orbán evolved from a young liberal reformer into an illiberal, Putin-aligned strongman presiding over a reactionary kleptocracy. Zoltan breaks down how Orbán consolidated power, manipulated institutions, reshaped the media, and abandoned liberalism while Hungary's economy and democratic norms declined.

Viktor Orbán schien unbesiegbar. Doch nun liegt Ungarns Ministerpräsident sechs Monate vor der Wahl in Umfragen hinten. Ein möglicher Grund: Sein Herausforderer ist kein Linker. 2026 könnte zu einem Schicksalsjahr für Ungarn werden – und damit auch für die Populisten in der Welt, für die Viktor Orbán ein Vorbild ist. Als Ministerpräsident zeigt Orbán seit 2010, wie man mit Polemik, Ausgrenzung, Dämonisierung, Günstlingswirtschaft und Medienkontrolle eine politisch national-revanchistische Bewegung erschafft, die ein ganzes Land unterwandert. Dabei steht Ungarn objektiv nicht gut da. Politisch ist es in Europa isoliert, die Wirtschaft stagniert, die Inflation viel zu hoch. Bei den Wahlen im April 2026 scheint sich nun ernst zu nehmender Widerstand zu formieren. Péter Magyar, ein ehemaliger Wegbegleiter, führt die Umfragen an. In dieser Folge von »Acht Milliarden« spricht Juan Moreno mit Jan Puhl aus dem Auslandsressort des SPIEGEL. Puhl ist ein Kenner der ungarischen Politik, berichtet seit Jahren über Viktor Orbán. Er beschreibt Péter Magyar als einen ehemaligen Orbán-Fan, der inhaltlich kaum zu fassen ist und mit seiner recht neuen Partei Tisza deutlich vor Orbáns Fidesz liegt. Wie hat Magyar das hinbekommen?

Tommy and Ben discuss Syrian transitional President Ahmed Al-Shaara's historic and improbable visit to the White House, Trump's sanctions waiver and special favors for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban ahead of his election, why the US is boycotting the G20 in South Africa, and how a sham election in Tanzania that's led to mass protests and potentially thousands dead. Then they talk about how Trump could bring an end to bloodshed in Sudan with one phone call to the United Arab Emirates, a new list of problems undercutting Trump's case for the Nobel Peace Prize, why Trump is suing the BBC for $1 billion, and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman's colossal infrastructure failure in the desert. Then Tommy speaks to Josh Paul and Tariq Habash about why they resigned from the Biden administration over Gaza, and how they're trying to change Democrats' approach to US-Israel policy with their organization, A New Policy.

In this powerhouse Veterans Day episode, Ghost dives deep into the latest global shakeups, starting with Trump's bold warning to Nigeria over Christian persecution and the ripple effects across Africa. He breaks down the U.S. push into Central Asia's mineral markets, exposing the neocon agendas and globalist resistance to Trump's resource diplomacy. From Steve Bannon and Eric Prince's takes on manufacturing and Middle Eastern geopolitics to Israel's growing instability and internal dissent, Ghost connects the dots on how global power structures are crumbling. He also unpacks breaking news of a Turkish military plane crash, Saudi Arabia's diplomatic maneuvering ahead of Trump's meeting with MBS, and Viktor Orbán's efforts to mediate a Trump–Putin peace summit. Thought-provoking, fiery, and meticulously sourced, this episode maps the frontlines of the multipolar world forming right before our eyes.

durée : 00:03:24 - Un monde connecté - par : François Saltiel - En vue des prochaines législatives, Viktor Orbán n'hésite pas à utiliser l'Intelligence artificielle pour attaquer son adversaire Péter Magyar et semer la confusion en lui attribuant des propos qu'il n'a jamais tenu publiquement.

Today's Headlines: The government shutdown just passed 40 days, but there's finally a flicker of hope: the Senate reached a tentative deal to reopen the government through January, with at least 10 Democrats agreeing to back a short-term funding bill in exchange for a vote next month on extending Obamacare tax credits—a proposal many Democrats previously called “laughable.” Meanwhile, the Supreme Court temporarily blocked a lower court's order requiring the Trump administration to fully fund SNAP benefits, and Trump's USDA quickly told states to stop processing payments. Trump also floated a flurry of financial gimmicks over the weekend—like 50-year mortgages, direct cash “subsidies,” and a $2,000 tariff dividend—while his own Treasury Secretary contradicted him on national TV. Abroad, Trump met with Hungary's Viktor Orbán, granting him a sanctions exemption on Russian oil in exchange for $600 million in U.S. gas contracts. The shutdown is also stalling weapons sales to Ukraine and NATO allies and causing massive flight delays ahead of Thanksgiving. Elsewhere, Cornell struck a controversial deal with the administration to restore funding after discrimination probes, Florida sued Planned Parenthood over abortion pill safety (again, against all science), and in Virginia, a 19-year-old college student beat his former high school teacher in a local election—proving democracy sometimes delivers sequels no one saw coming.

Viktor Orbán gilt als großes Vorbild des MAGA-Flügels der Republikanischen Partei in den USA. Wie ist es dem ungarischen Premier gelungen, die kulturelle Hegemonie zu erlangen? Müssen wir Ungarn als Blaupause für erfolgreiche post-liberale Politik in Europa fürchten? Mit dem slowakischen Schriftsteller und Journalisten Michal Hvorecký diskutieren darüber die FALTER-Redakteurinnen Eva Konzett und Lina Paulitsch.Wenn auch Sie einmal live dabei sein möchten: Die nächste FALTER Arena findet am 11. Dezember 2025 zum Thema „Wenn Russland gewinnt“ statt.

Viktor Orbáns Besuch im Weißen Haus war ein deutlicher strategischer Erfolg für die Energiesicherheit Ungarns. Die USA genehmigten die Weiterführung russischer Energieimporte. Gleichzeitig stellte sich Donald Trump demonstrativ hinter Orbán und lobte dessen strikte Migrationspolitik.

Kiew hofft auf den EU-Beitritt in drei Jahren. Die Europäische Kommission lobt die Fortschritte der Ukraine, doch Ungarn bleibt hart. Viktor Orbán warnt vor Krieg in Europa.

President Trump grants Hungary a one-year exemption from US sanctions on Russian oil and gas purchases during a visit to the White House by his right wing ally, Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orban. The sanctions were introduced in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Also: Senators fail to agree a compromise to pay essential federal workers, including air traffic controllers, during the US Government shutdown; more than 200 people have been charged with treason after protests against the disputed election in Tanzania; Nobel Prize-winning American scientist James Watson, one of the co-discoverers of the structure of DNA, has died aged 97; and archaeologists have compiled the most detailed map yet of the roads that criss-crossed the Roman Empire from Great Britain to North Africa.

What happens when a former military cop, existentialist philosopher, and Substack firebrand walks into a podcast? You get this riveting conversation between Corey and Christopher Armitage, who pulls no punches when it comes to democracy, resistance, and why “soft secession” might be the only sane response to creeping authoritarianism. Chris is a U.S. Air Force veteran, former law enforcement officer, prolific writer, and founder of The Existentialist Republic. From his early days in New Jersey wrestling circles to his transformation into an outspoken advocate for “soft secession,” Chris shares deeply personal reflections and bold policy ideas aimed at confronting rising authoritarianism in America. Through a mix of dark humor, philosophical grounding, and actionable insights, Chris breaks down: What “soft secession” really means (hint: it's not Civil War 2.0), How localism and economic independence can fortify democracy, What ICE agents, serotonin, and Friedrich Nietzsche have in common, And why writing with relentless truth might be the ultimate form of resistance.

What do Stalin, Trump, and Viktor Orbán have in common? They're all fragile men terrified of truth, artists, and of anyone with a moral compass. In this week's Gaslit Nation, we talk with 91-year-old Peter Hidas, who as a young student helped ignite the 1956 Hungarian Uprising, a movement born of courage and faith in a better world. Peter's story is a testament to what ordinary people can do when they refuse to bow to tyranny. The revolts that shook the Iron Curtain in 1956 laid the groundwork for the movements that would one day bring down the Soviet empire, to the unforgettable soundtrack of Swan Lake played on repeat on Soviet TV by a collapsing regime. Today, a new generation of brave Russians has reclaimed that symbol: the “Swan Lake Collective” is being played by artists on the streets of Russia, creating a rallying cry “Let the swans dance!” for peace, freedom, and the end of Putin's Fox News–style dictatorship. Gaslit Nation is here to remind you that Putin's days are numbered.  This week's show also celebrates the heroes of the No Kings protests, the Gen Z meme pirates toppling corruption crime sprees pretending to be governments, how Trump and Putin might try to save Orban's doomed April 2026 election, and more.  So keep marching. Keep creating.That's how we win.  The song featured in this week's episode is “Election Day” by The Spiders.
