Please think about these words: THE LAST CRITICAL RADIO STATION in Hungary
I am aware that the whole EU is simply sick and tired from these kinds of developments in #Hungary & #Poland, but exactly resignation and cynicism (@CDU) pave to way for further #autocratization in the EU

On top of this disgrace, at the press conference with Merkel Orbán had the gall to speak of Hungaro-German cooperation "in innovation and hi-tech", mentioning #Palkovics by the name, who murdered Hungarian Academia in the name of innovation and tech. And Merkel didn't say a word.

Orbán appointed his advisor, a 76-year-old classical philologist, often characterised as a machiavellian, the rational face of the government's anti-migrant campaign, as the new leader of the research network taken away from the Hungarian Academy.

Jan-Werner Müller about the inability of the EU to stand against the erosion and destruction of rule of law and democracy by EU member states. What happened to the #HungarianAcademy fits into the ideology-building efforts of the Orbán regime very well. https://t.co/fqFwQ6VCMS

Orbán wants to build a new cultural era. In order to succeed, the government has to take over the academic, educational and cultural institutions. #HungarianAcademy #Hungary #Orban
