Checking democracy: how can civilians persuade the government to engage in dialogue?

A recent international study indicates that 90% of countries that have experienced an autocratic shift in the last 30 years revert to autocracy within five years. The stakes for Hungary's current democratic transition are high, as it may either join the ranks of failed attempts or become a rare success. The rebuilding of democracy faces significant challenges, particularly due to an unfavorable international environment dominated by illiberalism and crises in traditional Western democratic institutions. Additionally, internal structural issues persist, with remnants of the previous political system still affecting the political landscape, which is largely shaped by Fidesz's influence.
