Podcast appearances and mentions of viktor orban

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.

The documentary film Democracy Noir tells the story of three brave women who confront the policies and corruption of Hungary's autocratic Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

Thema: Kraftprobe mit Ungarns Ministerpräsidenten Viktor Orbán

Die Pride-Demonstration in Ungarn ist vorbei, aber der politische Nachhall bleibt. Was bedeutet es, wenn Hunderttausende auf die Straße gehen – nicht nur für LGBTQ-Rechte, sondern für Freiheit und gegen Überwachung? Stellt dies einen gefährlichen Moment für die Regierung von Viktor Orbán dar?

Moin und willkommen zum Fleckenhörer am 7. Juli! Am 33. Tag von Majas Hungerstreik fordere ich hier als Fleckenhörer Majas Rücküberstellung nach Deutschland und die Freiheit für politische, antifaschistische Gefangene. Maja ist eine nonbinäre Antifaschist:in, die seit über einem Jahr illegal in Ungarn inhaftiert ist. Maja befindet sich seit über 30 Tagen im Hungerstreik, um gegen die schrecklichen Haftbedingungen zu demonstrieren. Mittlerweile ist Maja im Krankenhaus und der Gesundheitszustand ist kritisch. Majas Familie und Majas Genoss:innen und Freund:innen setzen sich dafür ein, dass Maja endlich zurückgeholt wird! Ich möchte euch heute lautstark auf Majas Situation aufmerksam machen. Gerade haben wir am Wochenende den CSD Neumünster mit ca. 1500 Teilnehmer:innen laut Veranstalter begangen. Bis auf einige neonazistische Hanseln war die Stadt den Queers wohlgesonnen und gut gestimmt. Ganz anders die Situation in Ungarn. Die rechtsradikalen Hooligan-Freunde von Viktor Orban probieren mit physischer Gewalt, Menschen davon abzuhalten, Vielfalt zu feiern und für Demokratie einzustehen. Wir dürfen nicht wegschauen, wenn bei unseren Nachbarn Minderheiten unter Hass und Hetze leiden. Maja ist im queerfeindlichen Ungarn unter schlimmen Bedingungen inhaftiert und von anderen Menschen isoliert. Als nonbinäre Person kann Maja in Ungarn weder einen fairen Prozess erwarten, noch ist es zumutbar, dass Maja weiter inhaftiert bleibt. Ich fordere eine Rücküberstellung von Maja und solidarisiere mich mit Maja im Hungerstreik! Freiheit für Maja! Free all Antifas! Unsere Themen heute: +++ Bei Sommer-Jobs unter freiem Himmel in Neumünster: Chefs sollen für Wasser- und Sonnencreme-Flatrate sorgen +++ „Tax the Rich“: Wie ist der Stand der Petition? +++ Veranstaltungsreihe „Fokus: Wärme – Energetische Gebäudesanierung“ Musik: Red Bricks (Hamburg) Günther Harms (Hilpoltstein) Das Kate Schellenbach Experiment (Berlin) DR.

Il s'est fait connaître hors des frontières de son pays en sauvant la marche des fiertés de Budapest : Gergely Karacsony est notre Européen de la semaine. Le maire de Budapest est devenu le nouveau héraut de l'opposition au nationaliste Viktor Orban. Grâce à lui, la Marche des fiertés a pu avoir lieu dans les rues de la capitale hongroise. Une édition historique. Jusqu'à 200 000 personnes auraient défilé à Budapest le samedi 28 juin 2025. Du jamais vu ! Elles ont manifesté pour le respect des droits LGBTQ+ mais aussi – et surtout – contre Viktor Orban. Le Premier ministre hongrois a tout fait pour interdire ce rassemblement. Mais Gergely Karacsony a entamé un bras de fer avec le gouvernement pour que la Gay Pride ait bien lieu. « Nous avons décidé de soutenir cette cause, et la municipalité de la capitale organisera cet événement à la place de la Budapest Pride interdite », déclarait-il avant la manifestation. « Cet événement sera pleinement conforme aux lois hongroises et à notre conviction morale : nul en Hongrie ne devrait être victime de discrimination. » Le maire de Budapest n'a rien lâché. Cette Gay Pride s'est tenue sans heurts avec la police, alors que les manifestants étaient menacés d'amendes de plusieurs centaines d'euros et d'un an de prison. C'est même la plus grande manifestation anti-Orban depuis une décennie dans le pays. « Vrai opposant » Gergely Karacsony est un opposant à Viktor Orban depuis le début de son engagement politique. Il y a quatre ans, il a même tenté de se présenter comme le candidat de l'opposition contre Viktor Orban, mais il échoue à la primaire des partis de gauche. Un opposant de longue date, plus que le favori des sondages, le dissident du Fidesz Péter Magyar. « Les médias occidentaux ont focalisé l'attention sur Péter Magyar en oubliant un petit peu le maire de Budapest qui en fait à une grande antériorité par rapport à Magyar dans l'opposition à Orban », explique Catherine Horel, directrice de recherches au CNRS et spécialiste de la Hongrie. « Parce que Karacsony, à la différence de Péter Magyar, c'est un vrai opposant. On a affaire à quelqu'un qui dès le départ, dès le début de sa carrière politique est à gauche. C'est quelqu'un qui a maintenu son profil d'opposant depuis le début de sa carrière politique. » À lire aussiMarche des fiertés: Irlande, Hongrie... les droits LGBT+ reculent dangereusement Engagé à gauche Gergely Karacsony ne vient pas de l'élite. Il a monté une à une les marches de l'ascension sociale, retient Catherine Horel : « C'est quelqu'un de très modeste, qui vient de province, qui s'est fait tout seul, qui est monté faire ses études à Budapest, qui vient d'une famille avec une maman veuve. C'est quelqu'un qui n'a pas eu la cuillère d'argent dans la bouche. Il est venu jeune étudiant à Budapest, il a fait des études de sociologie et de sciences politiques. Et puis à un moment, il s'est engagé et il a été repéré par l'état-major du parti socialiste. Et il a commencé à travailler pour le gouvernement socialiste à partir de 2002. » Il crée ensuite son propre parti, « Dialogue ». Maire d'arrondissement, il remporte la ville de Budapest en 2019. Il se présente comme écologiste, mais il a plutôt fédéré des écologistes autour de lui. Et à la tête de la capitale, il est aussi engagé dans un bras de fer permanent avec le gouvernement. « Il y a plein de choses qu'on ne peut pas faire à Budapest parce que ça dépend de l'État », retient Catherine Horel. « Et systématiquement des initiatives de la mairie sont battues en brèche par le gouvernement. Il a donc été empêché dans un certain nombre d'initiatives par des décisions ministérielles. Les réalisations de monsieur Karacsony sont assez limitées à Budapest, mais en partie à cause de ça. » 50 ans, lunettes, sans cravate, il apparaît toujours souriant, on le voit sur X avec un tee-shirt Budapest aux couleurs du drapeau LGBT. Marié et père de famille, discret et sans aspérité, on ne lui connaît pas de passions en dehors de son métier chronophage de maire. Relance dans la course pour détrôner Orban ?  Après le succès de la Marche des fiertés, on lui prête maintenant un destin national. Mais si Gergely Karacsony est bien connu des habitants de la capitale, c'est dans les campagnes qu'il va devoir convaincre et séduire la population, souligne Catherine Horel : « Il faudrait qu'il rebâtisse une figure nationale. Et je ne suis pas sûre que l'initiative qu'il a prise d'autoriser la Marche des fiertés ait beaucoup d'écho chez le petit électeur rural du Nord-Est et qui vote Orban, qui va dire "Ah bah oui, à Budapest, c'est bien connu, c'est tous des dégénérés, etcetera". »  Les prochaines élections auront lieu en mars prochain. Une primaire pourrait être organisée pour choisir le candidat de gauche. Une nouvelle chance de s'imposer pour Gergely Karacsony 

This year's Budapest Pride was banned in March under the Orbán government's contentious “child protection” law. Demonstrators were threatened with hefty fines for participating, and the government said it would employ facial-recognition technology to identify and potentially prosecute those who turned out to take part at the march on 28 June. Did the ban work? Not in the slightest. In fact, more people than ever in the 30-year history of Budapest Pride showed up to celebrate their rights as LGBTQ+ human beings.  The massive Pride march brought a glimmer of hope to some Hungarian citizens, including this week's guest, writer Krisztián Marton. We spoke with Krisztián about the lead-up to the event, the thrill of being on the ground last Saturday, and what might be next for Hungary, now that Viktor Orbán finally has a formidable challenger in Péter Magyar. We also chatted with Dominic's husband, Thomas Lamers, a philosopher and dramaturg who hit the streets for us, mic in hand. (Thanks, Thomas, we owe you!) Krisztián Marton is a screenwriter and novelist. You can follow him on Instagram here and read an excerpt in English of his Margó Prize-nominated novel Crybaby here. You can donate to Thomas's fundraiser to pay some of the fines that may be incurred by Pride attendees here.  This podcast was brought to you in cooperation with Euranet Plus, the leading radio network for EU news.

During this terrible time of queer and trans erasure, finding a moment to laugh can be another form of protest - especially when the source of the laughter is from an all trans male comedy troupe called Big Dad Energy. The ringmaster behind the group is actor/astrologer/comedian Marval A Rex, whose conversation about its origins after their recent West Hollywood Pride performance at the Los Angeles LGBT Center's Renberg Theater takes a surprising “star turn” (interviewed by Jason Jenn). And in NewsWrap: Hungarians turn out by the hundreds of thousands in defiance of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to march in Budapest's LGBTQ Pride Parade, 75 men and a woman are arrested in a raid on a “gay party” in Indonesia, India's transgender women are “legally entitled” to recognition as women according to a landmark ruling issued by the Andhra Pradesh High Court, the U.S. Supreme Court allows parents to “shield” their public-school children from LGBTQ-inclusive material that does not align with their faiths, another U.S. top court ruling upholds key provisions of the Affordable Care Act requiring private health insurance companies to cover the pre-exposure prophylaxis medication known as PrEP, a “guerrilla theatre” Pride Month concert organized by queer-supportive U.S. senators reoccupies the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and more international LGBTQ+ news reported this week by Melanie Keller and Nathalie Munoz (produced by Brian DeShazor).

This week, Poland's EU Council Presidency ends, and Hungary's Visegrád Group Presidency begins – under a secret programme that Budapest has not shared with its neighbours. We look at how Viktor Orbán may try to spoil the European direction Donald Tusk has tried to shape over the last six months. We also look back on the NATO summit in the Hague, and the largest ever Pride parade in Budapest.

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. También hablaremos de los proyectos que Manos Unidas tiene en África y de cómo las bandas criminales en Colombia reclutan a niños cada vez más jóvenes. Escuchar audio

Since Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office in late January, he has let loose with a flurry of executive orders, purges of government workers, takeovers of semi-independent organizations, and defunding of numerous organizations and causes. The administration has faced setbacks in courts, with judges challenging and contradicting its actions. But what happens if Trump openly defies a judge? What happens if he ignores a Supreme Court ruling? Join us for a timely conversation on Trump and the judiciary with Jeff Bleich, former U.S. ambassador and advisor to President Barack Obama and a visiting scholar at Stanford, and David Chiu, city attorney of San Francisco. Bleich argues that Trump could be following the path blazed by autocrats Vladimir Putin and Victor Orban by seeking to strip courts of powers and then purge the judiciary. The result, unprecedented in the United States, would be an executive branch untethered to the rule of law. For his part, San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu has made headlines for his legal challenges to some of President Trump's executive orders and other actions. Chiu's office has been involved with several successful lawsuits against the administration, including cases challenging the firing of tens of thousands of federal workers and cutting of funding for homelessness over DEI issues. How will judges respond? What can Congress do? What can you do? Find out when Jeff Bleich and David Chiu joins us for a very important program Learn more about your ad choices.

Anna Gat is a political intellectual, so we talk some politics, e.g. on how things have changed for the worse in her native country of Hungary, why she thinks that a certain nerdy subset of American conservatives seems to have a raging hard-on for the country and its leader Viktor Orban, and what lessons it all holds for the potential of authoritarianism in the US. Mostly, though, we talk about InterIntellect, which is the company she created that hosts intellectual salons, both in person and online, and about what she's learned from starting and running the company about the art of facilitating good conversation. This is how Anna makes her bread, and so she has a deep investment, and deep expertise, in making her salons enjoyable and satisfying to people. She's thought a lot about it. She's iterated a lot. She has wisdom and insight that most other people don't have. And I found it fascinating.Hope you do too. This is a public episode.

La summitul de la Haga, statele membre NATO au convenit să-și suplimenteze bugetele pentru apărare la 5% din PIB. De asemenea, aliații și-au reafirmat angajamentul față de Articolul 5. Dar semnele de întrebare rămân, spun comentatorii. ”NATO își atenuează poziția față de Rusia”, observă The Telegraph. ”Summitul a fost considerabil mai scurt decât în ​​mod normal, special pentru Donald Trump. Comunicatul pare mai slab în comparație cu anii precedenți”. Și Le Figaro relatează că ”la Haga s-a făcut tot posibilul pentru a evita supărarea imprevizibilului miliardar. Iar secretarul general al NATO, Mark Rutte, a încercat să calmeze îngrijorările legate de implicarea SUA în NATO. Membrii NATO și-au „reafirmat”, de asemenea, sprijinul pentru Ucraina, într-un scurt paragraf, negociat cu înverșunare cu Donald Trump, care ar fi preferat un comunicat final fără a-i menționa pe ruși”. ”Trump obține o victorie importantă în privința NATO - dar rămân întrebări cheie privind alianța”, transmite CNN. ”Liderii NATO i-au adus președintelui Donald Trump o victorie majoră prin creșterea obiectivelor de cheltuieli pentru apărare”. Dar rețeaua TV amintește despre faptul că liderul de la Casa Albă a pus în dubiu angajamentul față de Articolul 5. Business Standard remarcă faptul că prim-ministrul ungar Viktor Orban ”a diluat demonstrația de unitate atunci când le-a spus reporterilor că NATO nu trebuie să aibă legătură cu Ucraina și că Rusia nu este suficient de puternică pentru a reprezenta o amenințare reală la adresa aliaților. Kremlinul a acuzat NATO că se află pe o cale de militarizare rampantă și că prezintă Rusia ca un „demon al iadului” pentru a-și justifica creșterea semnificativă a cheltuielilor pentru apărare”. UN News & World Report precizează însă că ”NATO dedică o parte mult mai mică din PIB apărării decât Rusia, dar, luați împreună, aliații cheltuie semnificativ mai mulți bani decât Moscova. Cheltuielile militare ale Rusiei au crescut cu 38% în 2024, ajungând la aproximativ 149 de miliarde de dolari și 7,1% din PIB, potrivit Institutului Internațional de Cercetare a Păcii de la Stockholm”. Presa internațională nu neglijează nici situația din Orientul Mijlociu. Jurnaliștii își pun întrebări cu privire la eficacitatea atacurilor americane asupra siturilor militare iraniene. Potrivit The Independent, ”imaginile din satelit realizate după atacurile aeriene ale armatei americane arată daune semnificative - dar nu neapărat în măsura susținută de Donald Trump. Imaginile nu au dezvăluit dovezi definitive că instalațiile subterane puternic fortificate au fost distruse  de bombardierele americane B-2”. ”Războiul frontal este suspendat” notează Le Monde. ”Dar cum va putea Israelul să verifice mâine dacă Iranul încearcă să-și reconstruiască programul nuclear bazându-se pe ceea ce armata a putut salva înainte de bombardamente, în special uraniu și centrifuge?” „Testul cheie pentru administrația SUA, presupunând că armistițiul se menține, va fi capacitatea sa de a promova un acord îmbunătățit cu Iranul, care să includă un mecanism eficient de monitorizare”, spune un expert consultat de ziarul francez. De aici și această întrebare suplimentară: „Dacă Iranul încalcă armistițiul, Israelul va trebui să ia o decizie. Riscă atunci fricțiuni cu administrația Trump?” –  comentează un alt expert pentru Le Monde.

Cas Mudde is a Dutch political scientist – or, as he prefers to call himself, a politicologist – one of the foremost scholars on the far right in Western democracies and a professor at the University of Georgia. After a few phone discussions, I finally met him in person at the GLOBSEC conference in Prague. We talked about Donald Trump's America, why he is optimistic about US democracy, though not really that optimistic, and also about what, if anything, politicians like Viktor Orbán, Robert Fico, Jarosław Kaczyński, and Andrej Babiš can actually change.

Millions of people in more than a hundred countries march at Pride festivities each year. Attendees come mostly to express support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans gender, queer and intersex people — the LGBTQI+ community. And although Pride may be on every continent, there's a swathe of countries where Pride still is not freely celebrated. Take Russia, where a court last decade issued a one-hundred-year ban on Pride events. Or Turkey, where police in recent years have been harassing, attacking and detaining activists and members of the LGBTQ+ community. And then there's Hungary, which is inside the EU but out of step with its laws and values. This year Hungary's illiberal prime minister Viktor Orbán said he intended to stop Pride in the capital Budapest, on the pretext of child-protection. Under-18s are supposedly at risk from so-called displays of homosexuality, displays that themselves were banned four years ago. That's a direct echo of Russia's anti-LGBT statute on Protecting Children and Traditional Family Values signed into law by Vladimir Putin more than a decade ago. This month Hungarian police duly imposed the Budapest ban that Orbán called for. And they added a dystopian touch: facial recognition technology. Attendees identified at Budapest Pride could face fines of 500 euros; they also could face neofascist thugs from far-right splinter groups. But Budapest mayor Gergely Karácsony says this year's event is going ahead this weekend just the same. After all, Budapest has had Pride marches for the best part of three decades. It's also worth recalling that Pride was born out of state repression. The first marches were held in the early 70s in a handful of US cities to mark the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. That name, Stonewall, comes from a bar, the Stonewall Inn, in New York City's Greenwich Village. The gay and transgender patrons of the Stonewall had grown sick of police harassment and abuse, and their uprising in 1969 still marks a key moment for civil rights movements everywhere. One beneficiary of such hard-won victories is Marc Angel, one of five so-called Quaestors at the European Parliament overseeing matters affecting the chamber's 705 members. Marc is a Socialist from Luxembourg and also co-president of the European Parliament's intergroup on LGBTIQ+ rights. For him, this weekend's Budapest Pride events amount to a protest — a protest against bogus limits on freedom of assembly in Hungary, and a protest against an international anti-gender movement, backed by Russia, supported by US ultraconservatives, and aimed at polarizing societies and weakening democracy.Support the show

Timothy Garton Ash has chronicled some of the biggest moments in European history for over 40 years. In his new book, Homelands: A Personal History of Europe, he offers a history of postwar Europe, told through personal memoir. He talks to Paul about the future of Europe, the war in Ukraine, advising George W. Bush on how to think about the European Union, having Victor Orbán as a student, and why these days, his main concern is about the United States. This episode was recorded at the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. It originally aired on October 11th, 2023

What happens when a lifetime of political loyalty no longer feels like enough? Deborah Burgess, scholar and education leader, takes us on a deeply personal journey from dedicated Democrat to politically unaffiliated voter during one of America's most turbulent political eras.The decision didn't come easily. After returning from six years in China where she helped build educational opportunities for children with disabilities, Deborah committed herself to Democratic Party activism. She worked tirelessly as a volunteer, house district captain, and eventually secretary, believing in the power of civic engagement. But something changed after watching how Democrats responded—or failed to respond—to aggressive political tactics from the right."Democrats are too quiet," Deborah explains with characteristic frankness. "They sit back and let stuff fly." Drawing on her background as a judo champion, she compares the current political climate to a match where "Democrats are getting choked and they're not fighting." This observation comes from someone who's seen the political landscape from multiple angles and continents.Our conversation explores the realities of voter suppression targeting Black and Brown communities, the alarming parallels between America's current situation and Hungary under Viktor Orbán, and the rise of Christian nationalism. We discuss how traditional Democratic messaging fails to resonate with younger generations and the importance of staying politically engaged even when party affiliation no longer feels right.Deborah offers practical action items for concerned citizens: familiarize yourself with the Constitution, diversify your information sources, watch corporate media critically, and engage at the local level. Most importantly, she urges listeners to think independently and draw their own conclusions rather than accepting singular narratives.Ready to rethink what political engagement means in today's America?

Han var Europas yngsta premiärminister som skulle leda Ungern mot Nato och EU, men som med åren blev unionens stora huvudvärk. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. Den ungerske premiärministern Viktor Orbán (f 1963) är den europeiske ledare som suttit längst på sin post. Som ung gjorde sig Viktor Orbán känd som en fotbollstokig liberal rebell med ambitionen att stå upp mot Sovjetunionen. Under åren har han förändrats och på senare år har han kallats Europas nya diktator. 62-årige Viktor Orbán har under sina senaste femton år vid makten avreglerat Ungerns kontrollmekanismer, tagit kontroll över landets medier och fört landet i konservativ och nationalistisk riktning. – Han har gått från att ha varit ursprungligen en liberal motståndsfigur till att bli normalhöger till radikalhöger och hela tiden hittar nya knappar att trycka på, säger Joakim Medin, journalist och författare till boken ”Orbánistan: Rädsla och avsky i det illiberala Ungern” I P3 ID om Viktor Orbán följer får vi både följa en politikers resa från ungdomsåren till bråken med EU och hur världen och Europa har förändrats under 1900-talet. I avsnittet medverkar: Joakim Medin, journalist och författareAnnika Ström Melin, journalist och författareKlara Lindström, analytiker vid Centrum för Östeuropa studier vid Utrikespolitiska institutet.Programledare och producent: Vendela LundbergAvsnittsförfattare och reporter: Carl-Johan UlvenäsTekniker: Fredrik NilssonAvsnittet gjordes våren 2025 av produktionsbolaget DIST.I researchen har böckerna Orbán - Eruopes New Strongman av Paul Levai, Orbánistan : Rädsla och avsky i det illiberala Ungern av Joakim Medin och Världen sedan 1989 av Annika Ström Melin varit till stor hjälp.

Počet podnetov na zneužívanie eurofondov sa od kontroly znásobil. Najnovšie zistenia sa netýkajú len predražených detských preliezok, ale aj systémového kradnutia, podvodov, či dokonca vydierania starostov, ktorí chcú eurofondy na kanalizáciu vo svojej obci. Tí čelia žiadostiam o úplatky vo výške 5 - 20 percent z dotácie. Podľa europoslanca za EPP Tomáša Zdechovského na to kontrolný výbor upozorňujú aj starostovia alebo zastupitelia za Smer či Hlas. Europoslanec Mazurek je podľa neho v Bruseli neviditeľný: "Do včerajška som nevedel, kto je Mazurek a že je v europarlamente," hovorí Tomáš Zdechovský.V podcaste s českým europoslancom za KDÚ-ČSL Tomášom Zdechovským sa dozviete:– od 1. minúty – že kontrolnému výboru europarlamentu prišlo 15-tisíc strán dokumentov upozorňujúcich na zneužívanie eurofondov;– po 3:00 – že našli vydieranie a žiadosti o úplatky v prípade eurofondov na kanalizácie;– po 4:00 – prečo požiadal komisiu, aby sa pozrela na dianie v PPA a prípadne jej opäť odobrala akreditáciu;– od 6:00 – že kontrolnému výboru sa sťažujú stovky bežných Slovákov, vrátane starostov za Smer a Hlas;– po 7:30 – za aký čas dokázali Taliani odsúdiť podobnú kauzu ako Dobytkár a prečo to u nás nejde;– od 8:30 – že nefunguje kontrola európskych dotácií v PPA;– po 9:30 – že v PPA sú ako kontrolóri nasadení ľudia blízki oligarchom;– od 10:30 – či po zisteniach europoslancov skončia niektorí ľudia vo väzení;– po 10:30 – do akej miery hrozí pozastavenie preplácania eurofondov;– od 12:30 – že jeho rodine sa ľudia vyhrážajú smrťou;– po 13:30 – že aj minister Migaľ prišiel na systematické kradnutie;– od 14:45 – že argumenty Miroslava Lajčáka sú na úrovni žiaka druhej triedy základnej školy;– po 15:00 – ako teraz idú kontrolovať aj Ukrajinu a Česko;– od 17:30 – že aj Bulharsko malo problém s dotáciami na súkromné penzióny, ale aspoň to riešilo;– po 20:00 – že Slovensko je srdce Európy, ktoré potrebuje bypass, lebo je choré;– od 21:30 – na ktorých výrokoch Petra Kotlára sa smeje aj jeho dvanásťročný syn;– po 23:00 – že do včerajška nevedel, kto je Milan Mazurek a ani že je europoslancom;– od 26:20 – ako paradoxne slovenskou europoslankyňou s najlepším kreditom bola donedávna Monika Beňová;– po 28:30 – ktorí súčasní slovenskí europoslanci sú známi kvalitnou prácou;– od 29:45 – či fungujú protiruské sankcie;– po 31:00 – že ďalšie sankcie nám nepredražia energie;– od 33:00 – ako si Viktor Orbán myslí niečo iné ako hovorí, a ešte úplne inak hlasuje;– po 33:30 – že Robert Fico by v sebe mohol objaviť trochu cti a že Viktor Orbán sa drží pri moci vďaka Rusku;– od 35:00 – ako sa pozerá na trestné stíhanie Jaroslava Naďa;– po 37:00 – že Andrej Danko priamo poškodzuje ekonomické záujmy Slovenska a prípadným vystúpením z EÚ by našla životná úroveň klesla o tretinu;– od 39:00 – ako jeho dedo bojoval na Slovensku proti maďarským vojskám;– po 41:00 – nech sa idú ľudia pozrieť na kolóny a kontroly na hraniciach EÚ s Britániou;– od 41:30 – o čom je EÚ, ak nie je iba o peniazoch.

Talking Europe welcomes Ruslan Stefanchuk, Speaker and Chairperson of the Ukrainian Parliament. Elected in October 2021 – just months before Russia's full-scale invasion – Stefanchuk is a seasoned political figure, a close ally of President Volodymyr Zelensky, and second in line to the presidency under Ukraine's constitution. A respected legal scholar, he brings that expertise to bear in discussing the legal complexities surrounding the use of frozen Russian assets. We also examine Ukraine's difficult road toward EU accession, its ongoing rule-of-law reforms, and what Kyiv needs most from its Western partners at this critical time.

Sir Keir Starmer has put his cabinet on alert for a possible US attack on Iran. Just 24 hours after insisting Donald Trump had given no indication he was about to “get involved” in the conflict between Israel and Iran, the Prime Minister called a COBRA meeting to review how Britain might respond to a major escalation. Would Starmer be able to say no to Trump? What might Trump ask us to do? And how did we get here in under a week?Later, we are joined by the Hungarian deputy foreign minister to discuss their welcome of Netanyahu, NATO, Ukraine and whether Hungarians are falling out of love with Viktor Orban.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

Optimální by bylo, kdyby se Viktor Orbán, Robert Fico a Andrej Babiš odebrali rychle do politického důchodu, prohlásil před lety bývalý eurokomisař a místopředseda Europarlamentu Pavel Telička. Neposlechl ani jeden, a tak má Unie zahraniční politiku mnoha směrů. Může se ovšem stát taková Evropa globálním hráčem? „Její zrání v zahraničně-politických dimenzích na pozadí konfliktu na Ukrajině přináší určité výsledky,“ uznává Telička pro Český rozhlas Plus.Všechny díly podcastu Osobnost Plus můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

“We took democracy for granted…. don't make the same mistake!”: an interview with Klára Dobrev MEP, leader of Hungary's Democratic Coalition Party and former Vice President of the European Parliament. Plus: the cost of climate change, Valencia after the floods and rebuilding quake-struck Hatay.

En Hongrie, le gouvernement de Viktor Orban veut museler encore un peu plus la liberté d'expression. Les médias, publics et privés lui sont déjà acquis à 80%. C'est donc avec un nouveau projet de loi inspiré de la législation russe sur les agents de l'étranger qu'il entend marquer les esprits. Ce texte sur « la transparence de la vie publique » permettrait au gouvernement de mettre sur liste noire, de façon arbitraire, les médias et les ONG financés par des fonds étrangers.   L'Union européenne a déjà condamné ce texte dont le vote a été repoussé... mais cela ne suffit pas à dissiper l'inquiétude des médias et des ONG. Reportage à Budapest de Florence Labruyère.     La Slovaquie traque aussi «les agents de l'étranger» Et en Slovaquie aussi, le modèle législatif russe a été copié... tout média ou ONG qui reçoit de l'argent de l'étranger doit le déclarer sous peine de sanctions sévères, voire de dissolution... À Prague, Alexis Rosenzweig.   La très patriotique culture russe  En Russie, c'est via la culture que le régime tente sa reprise en main patriotique... Théâtres, cinémas et poètes vantent l'opération militaire spéciale, nom officiel de la guerre menée en Ukraine. Si bien que la lettre Z, symbole de l'offensive, se décline jusqu'aux devantures des théâtres et des scénarios improbables de fictions de cinéma... Mais le succès de cette production très officielle est mitigé... bien loin des succès des stars de la pop en exil... Reportage à Moscou signé de notre correspondante Anissa El Jabri.     La revue de presse de Franceline Beretti   Alors que les attaques aériennes de la Russie contre l'Ukraine se sont intensifiées cette semaine, les médias allemands se font l'écho de sévères inquiétudes.

C dans l'air l'invité du 9 juin 2025 avec Marc Lazar, historien et sociologue, professeur émérite à Sciences Po, et à l'université Luiss de Rome. Un an après les élections européennes, et deux ans avant la présidentielle, Marine Le Pen et Jordan Bardella s'affichent ensemble lundi dans le Loiret lors d'un meeting avec plusieurs de leurs partenaires européens. L'événement a été baptisé "La fête de la victoire": celle remportée ce 9 juin 2024, il y a un an jour pour jour, par le Rassemblement national lorsque sa liste est arrivée en tête du scrutin européen en recueillant 31,37 % des suffrages, à l'époque le meilleur score de l'histoire du parti d'extrême droite lors d'un premier tour.Sont présents le vice-président du Conseil des ministres italien Matteo Salvini, le leader du parti espagnol Vox Santiago Abascal, ainsi que le Premier ministre hongrois Viktor Orban, qui s'est déjà fendu dimanche sur Facebook d'un message évoquant Montargis, théâtre de violences urbaines il y a deux ans et selon lui "un exemple à petite échelle de ce (...) qui se passe lorsque les patriotes perdent le contrôle".L'anniversaire des Européennes du 9 juin coïncide également avec celui de la dissolution. Le RN a depuis fait élire 120 députés. Un an après, Jordan Bardella a changé de statut, à présent candidat possible à la présidentielle si l'inéligibilité de Marine Le Pen devait être confirmée par la Cour d'appel à l'été 2026.Marc Lazar, historien et sociologue, professeur émérite à Sciences Po, et à l'université Luiss de Rome, reviendra avec nous sur cette "Fête de la victoire", organisée dans le Loiret. Quelle est la tendance en Europe concernant les partis populistes, notamment après l'élection du président Karol Nawrocki en Pologne ? Quels sont les points communs entre Marine Le Pen et d'autres leaders européens, notamment Viktor Orban ? Aussi, quelles sont leurs différences, et leurs relations avec le président américain Donald Trump ?

Pride ska stoppas med hjälp av en ny lag i Ungern, något som har resulterat i omfattande kritik. Men vad är EU:s absoluta topp redo att göra i frågan? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ungern har infört ändringar i grundlagen som på olika sätt påverkar rättigheterna för landets HBTQI-personer. Bland annat handlar det om en lag som förbjuder avbildning eller främjande av homosexualitet till minderåriga, något som i sin tur resulterat i att Pride har förbjudits. Landets regering säger också att man ska använda ansiktsigenkänning för att identifiera och bötfälla deltagare. Det här har lett till högljudda protester bland både Europaparlamentariker och kommissionärer. Men hur kraftfulla är egentligen repressalierna från EU:s toppskikt? Sätter verkligen EU ner foten på allvar när Ungern gör inskränkningar på mänskliga rättigheter?Medverkande: Filip Kostambuikidis, utrikesreporter på Ekot. Andreas Liljeheden, Brysselkorrespondent. Sara Svensson, statsvetare med fokus på Ungern.Programledare: Parisa Höglund.Producent: Mattias Dellert

We are in an age of authoritarian democracy, and Turkey and its leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan is its paradigm. Erdogan has been in power more than 2 decades and created the template men like Victor Orban and Bibi Netanyahu have been followingin using democracy's tools to become authoritarian leaders. And now there's Donald Trump. Veteran journalist Andrew Finkel who has been reporting from the country for decades explains the process. You can hear parallels to what is unfolding in the US. Give us 39:30 to explain.

William Cavanaugh describes to Brad and Paul how the state came to dominate the Church, using Chile as a case study, and drawing links between Pinochet and Trump in the outworking of fascism through Christian nationalism in the US and in models such as Victor Orbán in Hungary.

President Donald Trump continues to get a reality check from the judicial branch. Three major rulings this week halted tariffs, his attack on law firms, and the crackdown on Harvard University, but will he listen? Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield joins The Weekend to discuss. Plus, Harvard's bold message to the administration during its commencement ceremony.

Donald Trump is putting liberal democracy through its greatest test in 80 years.  None of it is original. His style of rule is straight from the democratic backsliders' playbook. To secure long-term power rather than short-term office, rulers must take over the institutions that check and balance majority rule and bend them to their will. Trump has tamed Congress and inserted his people into the Supreme Court, law enforcement, intelligence, and competition regulation but - to his great frustration - the Federal Reserve is holding out. It was the same story in Hungary after Viktor Orbán returned to the premiership in 2010. Bound by EU law and the mandates of the governor and his deputies, Orbán had to wait three years to break the national bank. One of those deputy governors, Júlia Király, experienced state capture from the inside and resigned with a public protest at the loss of institutional independence. Now an associate professor of finance and monetary economics at the International Business School in Budapest, she began her career under socialism at the statistics and planning offices. As deputy governor, she was part of the team that managed the Hungarian economy through the post-2007 financial crisis – an experience she chronicles in Hungary and Other Emerging EU Countries in the Financial Storm: From Minor Turbulences to a Global Hurricane (Springer, 2020).

Asparagus, lesbian family rights and Viktor Orbán's latest power plays: like all good meals, this podcast episode is perfectly balanced. German food writer Ursula Heinzelmann joins us to explain the ‘Spargelzeit' phenomenon that sees foodies going nutty for asparagus at this time of year. We're also taking a look at LGBTQ rights in Italy and unpacking the Hungarian government's plans to ‘starve and strangle' civil society. Can Orbán be stopped?   You can find out more about Ursula's work on her website and follow her on Instagram here.   Thanks for listening.
