Illiberal Realities: Understanding Propaganda and the Orbanisation of Europe

Thursday, April 3, 2025
7:00pm – 9:00pm

This event will focus on understanding how an illiberal democracy has successfully existed in the middle of the EU for the last fifteen years and how propaganda is an important tool within it. Hungary has been a learning laboratory for autocracy, and the Orbán system is often cited as a model for other leaders and parties on the far-right populist scene, such as Germany's AfD. Two activists from the Berlin-based Hungarian expat organisation Freie Ungarische Botschaft (Free Hungarian Embassy) will give an overview of how Viktor Orbán's government has built its machinery of power and share some impressions from their successful exhibition "Illiberal Realities - If you come to Hungary...", in which propaganda billboards from Hungarian streets are reconstructed, translated and contextualised. Is there a way out of such a system? What are the chances that the 2026 parliamentary elections will change anything in Hungary - and for its European alliances? 

The Freie Ungarische Botschaft is a spontaneously organised group of Hungarian-European citizens living in Berlin, who believe that it is time for the EU institutions and leaders to actively stand up for the common future of the Union against the anti-democratic pursuits of the autocratic Hungarian government. The mission of the Freie Ungarische Botschaft is the restoration of the rule of law and the creation of a solidary society in Hungary from abroad. The organisation treats diversity as a value in its own work and stands for responsibility, critical thinking, democracy and solidarity. The group operates on a voluntary and independent basis, working on a number of projects that will be presented during the meetup as possible case studies.
