Illiberal Hungary: Outcomes of the Parliamentary Election
April 16, 2026 | 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm | Eurasia Program
About the Event
Hungary’s strongman, Viktor Orbán, has trailed his main challenger in the polls for months. Whether he wins or loses, the election results will carry significant implications for liberal democracy, Europe’s internal fault lines, European security at a moment of profound global change, and transatlantic relations between the United States and Europe.
Join Director of FPRI's Eurasia Program Dr. Emily Holland for a discussion of the Hungarian election results with a leading scholar on de-democratization processes, Dr. Hadas Aron.
