order in Hungary?

opinion of political topics, censuring and controlling the Media for
their party interests (populist party ) and make people believe
everything that they want is not freedom, that is manipulate the
people and threating the political order of the country and make it a
dictatorship. Also, it is against to the capitalism and international
investments and breaking agreements with the EU because those are
“dangerous for the country” so closing the doors and not giving help
for refugees and people who is escaping from the war.

for radical ideas for solving the problems), understanding and
accepting the situation of the country and giving new solutions for the

Nationalist populist parties are growing in strength across

Europe. In Hungary, Jobbik (Jobbik Magyarországért Mozgalom,
Movement for a Better Hungary), is the most successful far-right
political party following the Cold War. Founded in 2003, it is now
the third largest political party in Hungary. Its ideology is strongly
nationalistic, combining opposition to capitalism and liberalism,
with anti-Semitic and anti-Roma rhetoric. The Jobbik party has
been particularly effective at mobilizing young Hungarians and
using online communication and messages to amplify its
message, recruit new members and organize.
