Hungary is in trouble, says former Hungarian MP
At the end of the 1980s, Zsuzsanna Szel茅nyi was a young pro-democracy activist, who celebrated the collapse of totalitarianism and joined a liberal Hungarian youth movement, Fidesz.
The party was committed to the building of a free, democratic Hungary, but has since morphed and is now a conservative, nationalist and populist political movement.
鈥淗ungary is in trouble,鈥� and is diverting from the Western way of life, Ms Szel茅nyi told the 主播大秀 Hardtalk programme鈥檚 Stephen Sackur.
While in Fidesz, Ms Szel茅nyi believed it to be in a party of the West.
鈥淚t was a liberal, alternative and radical organisation - it was how we defined ourselves," she said.
