Balázs Orbán(@BalazsOrban_HU):Those who spent years calling Viktor Orbán a dictator are now proposing measures that would dramatically narrow democratic voice of the people of Hungary: • banning @PM_ViktorOrban from serving as Prime Minister again, even if voters want him back • removing the President before the end of the constitutional mandate • introducing a 12-year term limit that would ban voters to re-elect opposition MPs • creating new institutional bodies focused on investigating political opponents The signs of a new authoritarian liberalism are appearing across Europe, increasingly encouraged by Brussels. Its latest target is Budapest. Our European way of life cannot survive if voters are trusted only when they make the “right” choice.
