Together they explore how economic pressures, corruption scandals, and a newly mobilised electorate—especially younger voters—reshaped Hungary’s political landscape after 16 years. They also evaluate Magyar’s promises of reform, a reset with Europe and a more participatory role on key issues like Ukraine. What explains Orbán’s defeat? Can Magyar deliver real democratic change? And what does Hungary’s new direction mean for Europe and Ukraine? Bookshelf: Works of Zadie Smith , Ruth Ozeki and Sofi Oksanen This podcast was recorded on April 13th, 2026. Hosted on Acast.
