Magyar's rise highlights the strain on Orbán's autocracy. Attempts to disqualify Magyar via prosecution & EU Parliament immunity challenges have failed. As propaganda shows diminishing returns, fears rise of harsher measures to maintain control. #HybridRegime #FutureOfHungary

Proof of authoritarianism. Ongoing thread. cc: @economist.com #DemocracyIndex #HybridRegime? (they're still *pretending* to have fair and free elections at this point; whether they are is debatable)
