My op-ed in @euobs with John Morijn @ProfPech & @KimLaneLaw euobserver.com/eu-political/a…

Orbán took centre stage at summits in Budapest last week. Can European leaders unify against him? Or are they stuck in the black sheep’s pen? @fromTGA @ZgutEdit @liliebayer @garvanwalshe @panyiszabolcs @daniel_freund visegradinsight.eu/orbans-ambitio…

🔥Me in @Bloomberg news: economic downturn couldn't have come at a worse moment for Orban. Sharp slowdown in EV sales/brewing trade war with 🇨🇳 makes 🇭🇺 vulnerable. It harms the elite coherence of Orban's patronal-informal regime👇twtr.to/_4yKs w/ the great #DoraGyorffi

I took a break in Babyville to write this for @VisegradInsight. @donaldtusk's dismantling of PiS’s #informal #patronal system may offer lessons for the 🇭🇺opposition #TISZA. Instead of demonising press/CSOs, it should push a culture of mutual tolerance👉twtr.to/2-4Bs
