At a recent CPAC gathering, U.S. President Donald Trump showcased his admiration for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, whose governance under the banner of 'illiberal democracy' is seen as a possible blueprint for Trump's next term. Klara Dobrev warns that both Hungary and the U.S. risk complacency regarding democratic institutions that are currently under attack. She emphasizes the need for vigilance to avoid an irreversible shift toward autocracy, citing failed democracies worldwide. Dobrev asserts that citizens would prefer Europe over Orban's regime, underlining a longing for genuine democracy and its associated benefits for society.
Democracy is the only way you can secure the long-term wellbeing of people. If there is a mistake, you can correct it. If there is no democracy, then you can't correct it.
These illiberals are attacking the institutions... They attack the media, they attack public administration, they attack civil organizations, they attack freedom of speech.
