Hungary: A Case Study

To say that Hungary has had a turbulent history since 1918 would be an understatement. From 1918 to 1940 the country experienced the fall of the Austro Hungarian Empire, a short-lived communist government, and the authoritarian regime of Admiral Horthy. In 1940 it sided with Nazi Germany, culminating in a fascist government and the mass deportation of Jews. In 1945, Soviet forces arrived and communism was installed. In 1956 came the ill-fated Hungarian Revolution, followed by Kadar and “Goulash Communism.” 1989/90 saw Hungary turn again to democracy, joining the EU. Yet in 2000 Orban and “illiberal democracy” arrived. This April Orban lost power to Péter Magyar, and Hungary has hopes of democracy once more.

The NATO Summit: Has Trump Given the US’ Atlantic Allies the Red Card?

Please note this session will only be available to view live.

Hagai reflects on the crucial NATO summit in Ankara that took place at a time of unprecedented tension between the US and its traditional military partners, as the Iran crisis stumbles on and the World Cup continues in the US. Trump may have saved Balogan from his World Cup red card, but will the US president be handing out some of his own red cards to NATO partners who have disappointed him?!
