How did Viktor Orb\u00e1n dismantle the rule of law while the world watched? In this episode, recorded before the Hungarian parliamentary elections of 2026, we sit down with Dr. Andras Kadar, co-chair of the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, to discuss the systematic erosion of democratic checks and balances. We explore how the Orb\u00e1n regime uses &#8220;hate and fear propaganda&#8221; to create external enemies\u2014ranging from the IMF and George Soros to President Zelenskyy\u2014and why the rule of law is like oxygen: you only notice its importance when you are starting to suffocate. This is a crucial conversation for any society seeing early warning signs of political polarization and institutional capture.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Does Rule of Law Crumble? | Andr\u00e1s K\u00e1d\u00e1r\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1GH_14tFkdk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1192,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"","edi_topic":"europa","edi_lang":"en","edi_partner":"","edi_project":"","edi_paper":"","edi_ext":""},"class_list":["post-1191","podcast","type-podcast","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"introduction_text":"","footnotes":null,"related":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kaip gri\u016bva teisin\u0117 valstyb\u0117?
