DESCRIPTION
On Hungary's elections.
Hungarian political analyst and editor of Partizan, Szilard Pap, talks to Alex about the end of 16 years of Fidesz in government.
What is the scale of Fidesz’s wipeout?
Who is Péter Magyar, and is he actually to the right of Orban?
What was Orban’s rule built on, and what parts of it have been rejected?
Does Orban mark a shift from national-populism to radical conservatism? From anti-politics to hyperpolitics?
What is the impact on global radical right? Was there a global Orbanism, and is it over?
How will this impact European “unity” and will Orban's defeat lead to escalation in Ukraine?
