Sometimes, I worry that I'm making this point too abstractly. So I'm going to tell a little story about someone who tried to challenge Orbán, and what happened to him, so you understand what I mean. His name is Lajos Simicska. — PolitiTweet.org

If you've actually been on the ground there, and spoken to opposition figures and human rights groups, the reality is hard to deny. Elections are profoundly unfair, business and civil society are punished if they challenge the state, and the media is controlled by the government. — PolitiTweet.org

Lajos Simicska was a high school friend of Viktor Orbán's and a key political ally, instrumental in the prime minister's 2010 victory and power consolidation. By 2014, Simicska was one of Hungary's richest men — a media magnate who benefitted from significant state largesse. — PolitiTweet.org
