Shaping the Debate: How to Secure Our Democracies from Malign Interference
10 December 2024
Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz weaponises issues related to LGBTIQ+, women and migrants to a devastating effect. Whenever political scandals or economic woes hit Hungary, the population will be inundated with culture war propaganda to distract them from the day’s pressing issues.
“Gender” and LGBTIQ+ are two topics that the Hungarian government likes to use as fronts to shift the focus of public opinion from issues that could potentially be dangerous to its popularity.
These trends can be traced through the milestones from Fidesz’s return to power in 2010 and examining the political and economic contexts that frame many of the government’s vilifying use of “gender” and LGBTIQ+-related topics in the public discourse as well as the legal attacks on these minority groups and communities.
The expansion and quick contraction of rights
After the fall of the Iron Curtain, there were about 20 years when Hungary was at the forefront of advancements for the LGBTIQ+ people in Central and Eastern Europe.
