'A 21st-century Christian democracy' For Hungary's Orban, democracy of the liberal kind is a dirty word. "We have replaced a shipwrecked liberal democracy with a 21st-century Christian democracy, which guarantees people's freedom and security," Orban proclaimed to the Hungarian parliament in May 2018. Orban's vision is of a Christian Hungary with no Muslim refugees, or "invaders" as he called them in a 2018 interview. The editors said that Polish state media, filled with ruling-party loyalists, receive huge subsidies and would likely get more to offset the tax. Until then, the work of the "moral revolution" in Poland and of "illiberal democracy" in Hungary will go on.
