"Orbán keze által halt meg a demokrácia Magyarországon" – írta James Gunn rendező a hétvégén, kommentálva a New York Times terjedelmes cikkét, amely a magyar politikai helyzetet elemzi.

1 Democracy is dead in Hungary at the hands of Orban, it happened swiftly, and he did EXACTLY what Trump is doing now: Fanned the flames of immigration fear, discredited the mainstream press, controlled the judiciary, redrew election maps. https://t.co/UNIagcWM2x
Gunn Trumpot hasonlítja Orbánhoz, szerinte mindkét politikus manővereinek lényege, hogy az emberek migrációtól való félelmeire alapozzák hatalmukat, elnyomják a sajtót és kontroll alatt tartják az igazságszolgáltatást.
A New York Times pedig puha autokráciaként emlegeti az Orbán vezényletével kialakított magyar viszonyokat:
As West Fears the Rise of Autocrats, Hungary Shows What's Possible
"Viktor Orban has demonstrated that in Europe things are possible," the leader of Poland's governing Law and Justice party, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, said in 2016. "You have given an example, and we are learning from your example." Mr. Orban is emblematic of a strongman age. He has courted President Vladimir V.
Ma reggel a Guardian is velünk kezdte a napot, több szempontból is értékelve, hogy a miniszterelnök és közeli pajtásai mit művelnek az EU-s pénzekkel:
Orbán allies could use EU as cash register, MEPs say
Hungarian PM's supporters are winning EU-funded contracts while facing little competition A European parliamentary watchdog has called for tougher scrutiny of EU spending in Hungary, as concern grows among MEPs and transparency campaigners that a class of oligarchs with ties to the prime minister, Viktor Orbán, coulduse the EU "as a cash register".
És arról, hogyan csatornázzák be ezeket a pénzeket:
How Hungarian PM's supporters profit from EU-backed projects
While Viktor Orbán has criticised EU, some of his friends and family have won EU-funded infrastructure contracts he train to nowhere, some dazzlingly expensive street lights and the pipe-fitter turned business mogul who happens to be the prime minister's friend. One common thread links them all: Hungary's combative leader, Viktor Orbán, and his bête noire, the European Union.
