Gábor Török: The Orbán era was not a dictatorship

Political scientist Gábor Török argues that the Orbán era should not be labeled as a dictatorship, and that the events of 2026 do not constitute a revolution or regime change. He emphasizes that democracy's essence is subjective, depending on who governs and their decisions. Török believes that a democracy can exist even under poor leadership, as long as the possibility for change remains. He acknowledges the significance of the April elections in Hungary but insists that they do not warrant the term revolution. Instead, he sees a regime change as a new chapter in Hungary's political history, urging people to reconsider their acceptance of the past.
