Abstract

With Viktor Orbán seeking to further extend his long tenure in power, the stakes of Hungary’s upcoming election reach far beyond its borders. Over the past decade and a half, Orbán’s leadership has reshaped Hungary’s political system and placed the country at the centre of debates within the European Union.

Will this election consolidate the current trajectory — or open the door to political change? What will this mean for the European Union?

The event is organised by the Europeanist Society. Sign-up is required here by 10 March.
