From liberal freedom fighter to conservative populist. The many faces of Viktor Orbán.

Описание: In this video, we take a look at the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán - his political beginnings, how he created the Fidesz party and his political rise to power.

Orbán's evolution from liberal politician, who was part of a vibrant student movement in the 1980’s and 1990’s to winning his first elections and becoming Hungary’s Prime Minister who is called a populist, and by some, even a dictator. Following the political career and biography of Viktor Orbán, we also discuss the latest history of Hungary, political parties in Hungary, its creeping nationalism and dealing with the recent migrant crisis.

The biography of Viktor Orbán makes him one of the most fascination politicians in Europe right now. The young Viktor Orbán was idealistic and looking to learn from Western democracies, even being funded by the George Soros foundation. The Viktor Orbán of today is rubbing elbows with Putin and Trump, and has pursued a media and power grab of Hungary’s institutions like no politician before him.

Our OSW experts cover these issues and more in this Viktor Orbán documentary.
