I spoke with Al Jazeera English about the legacy of the end of World War II in Europe, the rise of nationalism and the far right.

Gabor Scheiring interviewed by Joy Reid about Trump, authoritarian populism and the striking parallels with Viktor Orban's Hungary.

I had the honor of joining MSNBC's The ReidOut with Joy Reid for an in-depth, 15-minute conversation about Trump, authoritarian populism, and the striking parallels with Orbán's Hungary.

"Hungarian foundations are supporting the development of far-right ideologies in the US and Europe. American Republicans have learned a great deal from Viktor Orbán, replicating many of his political strategies."

"In the United States, there is real suffering among working-class people. Real wages are stagnating, death rates are increasing. In Germany, real wages of workers without a college degree have been stagnating for several decades,"

I spoke with TVP WORLD, an international news network operated by Polish Television, discussing the social and economic foundations of Viktor Orbán's politics.

“Orban and Vucic are both the kind of illiberal leaders who are positioning their countries between the rivaling geo-political blocs, hoping to avoid too strong dependence on any one of them,”

“I watched Hungary’s democracy dissolve into authoritarianism as a member of parliament — and I see troubling parallels in Trumpism and its appeal to workers." It’s official: Following Tuesday’s primaries, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump appear set for a rematch in November after both candidates secured enough delegates to win their parties’ nominations. This past weekend, Republican front-runner Donald Trump hosted Hungary’s authoritarian Prime Minister

"The government of Viktor Orban favors its close entrepreneurs, but its policies also benefit foreign investors. This is one of the reasons why the EU is reluctant to impose sanctions. The EU payments will benefit not only Orban's friends but ultimately all capitalists in Hungary. Orban knows that as long as he makes foreign companies happy and brings money to Western Europe, he will also get away with destroying democracy."

"Over the past decade, Hungary has become a classic case in the debate over illiberal democracy- even more recently with the rise of figures such as Matteo Salvini, Donald Trump, or Jair Bolsonaro on the international political scene. Around this theme was born this dialogue with Gábor Scheiring, former opposition MP in Hungary, sociologist (Ph.D., Cambridge) and researcher at Bocconi University."

"Behind the veneer of economic nationalism, Hungary is one of the breeding grounds of a new incarnation of neoliberalism. We spoke with sociologist Gábor Scheiring, a founder and former MP of the Hungarian Green Party LMP (Politics Can be Different) about his new book The Retreat of Liberal Democracy: Authoritarian Capitalism and the Accumulative State in Hungary."

Gabor Scheiring has been an activist, a member of the Hungarian Parliament, and the shadow minister of finance before completing his Ph.D. at Cambridge. Now a postdoc researcher at Bocconi, he has obtained a Marie Curie fellowship to study the relationship between economic change, public health, and populism.

Scheiring Gábor „Egy demokrácia halála” címmel könyvet írt az Orbán-rendszerről. A kötet új definíciót ad a rezsimről, miközben annak társadalmi hátterét is újrarajzolja.
