But Orbán doesn't play by democratic rules. He went after Simicska's business empire, working to dry up its funds. In the 2018 elections, Orbán and Fidesz again won a two-thirds majority — in an election international observers concluded was unfair https://t.co/3JYnmsdYUY https://t.co/xws3BmkKqd — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
Simicska called Orbán "geci," a Hungarian insult that literally translates to "sperm." He backed an opposition party, the far-right Jobbik faction, in the 2018 elections. That year, Politico named him one of the world's most 28 influential people https://t.co/nCPPXjHgXH https://t.co/XCFZDhZ2xJ — PolitiTweet.org

Orbán decided he didn't want to share power. Beginning around 2014, he attacked Simicska behind the scenes — a fight that went extremely public the next year, when Simicska's top deputies resigned en masse to avoid getting on the government's bad side. https://t.co/OizJNVEGo1 — 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

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
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
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
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
The biggest problem is that Hungary's democratic status is being treated as an open question or a secondary one, less important than its GDP or immigration policy. This is wrong. The Orbán regime is authoritarian and that is by far the most important thing about it. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
I've been on vacation since Friday, so I've been trying not to get sucked into Hungary discourse. But I recently had a second to catch up on the conversation and, as someone who knows quite a lot about the subject matter, it's pretty depressing. I have some thoughts about why. — PolitiTweet.org
