#TaintedDemocracy is based on stories including my personal anecdotes and tells everything you want to know about how @PM_ViktorOrban captured #Hungary and went along to influence #Europe.
#TaintedDemocracy recounts how @PM_ViktorOrban's party won a landslide victory in 2010 and how he used this unique power to pioneer the ‘illiberal state’, now serving as a model for many would-be autocrats.
#TaintedDemocracy unfolds the illiberal playbook from capturing democratic institutions, taking control of the economy, building a new elite on EU funds, dominating media, perfecting propaganda, intimidating society, and rewriting the past.
#Hungary's story shows how easy it is to undermine democracy if leaders abandon basic norms. As a Hungarian, I felt compelled to speak up for democracy beyond my country’s borders and encourage democrats all over the world to resist #illiberalism and work for a democratic revival
