Hungary: Europe's Bad Boy



We investigate why Hungary, under its authoritarian leader Viktor Orban, has repeatedly clashed with the European Union.


In his youth, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was hailed as a champion of freedom, a key figure in the generation of pro-democracy activists who stood up to the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War.
These days he is routinely characterised as an authoritarian, far-right nationalist figure, a demagogue whose migrant-bashing agenda poses a significant threat to Western democratic norms.
