Areas of expertise

I am available for interviews, panels, private briefings, public conversations, speaking requests, editorial commissions, and research-led collaborations in English and Hungarian.

My work focuses on Hungarian politics after Orbán, the rise of Péter Magyar and Tisza, Fidesz’s system of state capture, democratic repair, corruption networks, public media, EU rule-of-law conflicts, minority rights, and the institutional afterlife of authoritarian government.

I bring a lived Hungarian context, daily political monitoring, close reading of parliamentary and legal developments, and a specialist focus on how captured systems are built, protected, inherited, and dismantled after elections.

I can speak and write on Hungary’s post-Orbán transition, the mechanics of Orbánism, the role of the EU, the recovery of public assets, the rebuilding of public institutions, and what Hungary’s experience reveals for other democracies facing authoritarian capture.
