What's life like in Orban's Hungary, the most corrupt country in the EU? Miserable, especially if you're a child (high malnutrition rates), a young adult, a woman, LGBTQ+ person and ally, a refugee, and anyone with an open mind🧵
According to a recent study, Hungary is the most corrupt country in the EU, a trend that accelerated under Orban politico.eu/article/hungar…
Transparency International: "The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) is the most widely used global corruption ranking in the world. It measures how corrupt each country’s public sector is perceived to be, according to experts." Let's look at Hungary's CPI. transparency.org/en/news/how-cp…
Orban came to power in 2010. The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) worsened as Hungary became increasingly corrupt under Orban's autocracy 
In the last 10 years as Orban entrenched his dictatorship, half a million people left Hungary in an ongoing brain drain france24.com/en/europe/2023…
"For every 1,000 Hungarian children, 6.1 die before their fifth birthday, according to a report by the Save the Children Foundation. This is above the EU average as well as the rates in countries such as Libya, Bulgaria, Cuba and Macedonia." borgenproject.org/facts-about-po…
Hungary under Orban suffers from falling birth rates. The regime heavily promotes financial incentives to entice people to start families. It's not working, because Orban's Hungary is opressive. People don't seem eager to bring a child into a dictatorship. politico.eu/article/eu-pop…
LGBTQ+ communities are targeted in harassment campaigns, much like the terror scapegoating by Ron DeSantis in Florida and Libs of TikTok pbs.org/newshour/world…
The crackdown on LGBTQ+ communities in Hungary "has had an enormously chilling effect,” says Eszter Mihaly, a researcher in Budapest for Amnesty International nytimes.com/2023/11/10/wor…
Unsurprisingly, the far-right leaders of Fidesz, Orban's party, crackdown on LGBTQ+ people by day and enjoy gay orgies by night
