Summary/Abstract: In 2014, Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán has declared to build an “illiberal state” in Hungary, while constantly referring to leaders like Vladimir Putin in Russia or Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey as examples. This has been seen by many as a gradual march toward authoritarianism. While this –and many other policies –have been heavily criticized by many ever since, these have gained a new momentum with the prime minister and his circles turning against the Central European University.
