HELLO, DICTATOR

Orbán, the EU and the rule of law

Synopsis

Renowned historians agree: Hungary is no longer a democracy, and the European Union cannot stop this development. Worse, it seems that EU money is allowing Viktor Orbán's government to strengthen its grip on the country by implementing cronyism using EU funds.

How can the EU uphold the rule of law in Hungary and prevent the advent of a dictatorship within its borders?

The legislative tools are currently inadequate and, as the disbursement of the EU funds linked to the recovery plan looms, there is a pressing need for an answer.
