The Women Leaders podcast: Hungary and the defeat of illiberal democracy

With the Tisza party taking office in Hungary, attention has turned to how this victory was achieved – not as an abstract political question, but through the lived experiences of Hungarians who opposed Viktor Orbán’s illiberal democracy and came together to defeat it. Eva Cartwright and Flora Hevesi, two such activists, join us for a dynamic and heartfelt conversation exploring what life under Fidesz really meant in Hungary’s cities and villages, and how victory was finally achieved.

Balázs Csuday writes that Péter Magyar’s landslide victory has upended Hungary’s political order, opening the door to constitutional conflict, institutional upheaval, and a major foreign policy reset after 16 years of Viktor Orbán’s rule. The result could reshape Hungary’s relationship with the European Union and reverberate across Europe’s populist right.

Is this the end of automatic Atlanticism in Germany?

Germany is entering a new era in its relationship with the United States. The old Atlanticist reflex has not disappeared, however it no longer reflects the instincts of the next generation of senior officials. For them, the moral clarity of the Cold War is not the starting point. It is an era of disruption, doubt, and strategic volatility. Berlin should take this into account, writes Vincent Tadday. The future of the transatlantic relationship will not be secured by waiting for the past to return.
