Zárug Péter Farkas - Leviatán Ébredése (2015)

Viktor Orbán's speech in Tusnad on July 26, 2014, caused a huge domestic and international response when he described his second term as an attempt at an illiberal state transformation.

In the four years between 2010 and 2014, the illiberal term itself was not uttered in relation to the Orbán government. It has been voiced by critics of dictatorship, half-dictatorship, authoritarianism, the mafia state, and everything else in Orbán, but interestingly, no one has classified the Orbán system in the illiberal category.

And then on July 26, 2014, the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán himself conducted a wide-ranging system analysis and interpretation of the state-building direction of his previous cycle, in connection with which he himself stated that it was illiberal to characterize his own system transformation policy.

Not only did this amaze domestic and foreign political analysts, but it also sparked a stirring debate over the nature of the Orbán regime.

Today, Péter Farkas Zárug is one of the best-known conservative political scientists in Hungary, who gave perhaps the most authentic description and criticism of the operation of the Orbán government, both in his scientific work and in his public statements.

In this volume, in addition to re-publishing his previous highly successful 2012 study - Outline for Understanding the Conflicts of the Second Orbán Government - after a thorough analysis, he attempts to answer the question of whether Hungarian democracy has become illiberal by 2015 and the Orbán regime. has a modern absolute power been built in Hungary ?!
