The Washington Roundtable discusses how the anti-corruption candidate Péter Magyar introduced down Hungary’s autocratic Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, and what implications that victory holds for the far-right actions that Orbán helped embolden around the globe. The panel is joined by Kim Lane Scheppele, a Princeton professor who has lived in Hungary and studied its democratic backsliding. Collectively, they unpack how Magyar’s marketing campaign succeeded by connecting Orbán’s corruption to the on a regular basis struggles of Hungarians, and the way that strategy would possibly inform Democratic technique within the 2028 Presidential election.
