'Trump before Trump': Orban's illiberal model on show
HUNGARY, JUL 20 – Orban's 15-year rule has shaped Hungary into a far-right model inspiring Trump, with both leaders targeting minorities and restricting critical voices, experts say.
- Amid rising far-right trends, Orban pitched his illiberal model, calling Trump `a great friend`, and said he hopes for a US presidential visit.
- Self-Touted as `Trump before Trump`, Viktor Orban has transformed Hungary during his 15-year rule of an EU member state of 9.5 million people.
- Orban has silenced critical voices from the judiciary, academia, media and civil society, restricting minority rights.
- Earlier this month, Robert Palladino said, `No more moralising from podiums`, at the US Independence Day celebration, reflecting a shift in embassy tone.
- While Orban has not yet been invited to the White House, envoy Palladino said a visit is 'hopefully not too far off', suggesting an imminent opportunity.
