“The idea of a united Europe first prevailed in Moldova, and now in Hungary. For this to become a trend, it must happen here as well,” said Elene Khoshtaria, leader of the Droa (“It’s Time”) party, commenting on Viktor Orbán’s election defeat in Hungary and the victory of the opposition Tisza party.
“Long live European Hungary! Modern authoritarian regimes rely on two main things: solidarity between regimes and mutual support, and the inertia and inaction of the West.
Autocratic regimes that support each other are dwindling in number, while the West is becoming increasingly active… Lies burst like soap bubbles, and resilience yields results.
One thing we can truly learn from Hungary is that EU and NATO membership sets boundaries for authoritarianism, which is so necessary for our young democracy,” Elene Khoshtaria wrote from detention.
