I will defer to you as you are Hungarian and obviously a lot more informed than I am, but I will say a lot of the things you bring up seem to be a matter of degree. From what I can see out there on the internet, it's more than just the media - Orban's cronies seem to have captured the judiciary as well, which helps shield them from investigation. He also seems to be trying various tactics to suppress political opposition - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/23/orban-accused-of-trying-to-silence-all-critics-in-hungary-with-new-law https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/23/orban-accused-... I think I'm going to stick by my evaluation of 'nascent dictatorship', though perhaps 'nascent autocracy' is more accurate if it's not all about the one man. And it does seem to be widely acknowledged that democracy has been undermined there, to the point it doesn't function. > I can tell you that Orban and his cronies run a variety of misinformation campaigns [in Hungary], but nothing related to cryptography. Yeah fair enough, it seems that a lot of other governments are all in on this sort of thing, and the headline is particularly misleading.
