Romania to Rerun Presidential Elections: Shaky Democracy on NATO’s Eastern Flank
9 December 2024
A Hungarian NGO AHang (TheVoice) has called on Hungarians to boycott PM Viktor Orbán’s latest public consultation by returning one million unfilled questionnaires that contain false government narratives about threats to Hungary from the European Union, which served Orbán to introduce a draconian “sovereignty protection law”.
Since 2010, Viktor Orbán’s government has held several national consultations with ordinary Hungarians. Although portrayed as a genuine effort to hear the people on important issues, these consultations are built around false government narratives and serve its electoral purposes only.
The most notorious ones were about the migrant crisis in 2015, the “Stop Brussels” and “Stop Soros” campaigns in 2017, with the latter attacking civil society.
Propaganda fatigue
In November 2023, Orbán launched the latest consultation accompanying the introduction of “sovereignty protection laws”, which critics say will intimidate dissent to his rule and make the already downtrodden opposition’s life harder ahead of the twin local and European elections in June.
