Hungary’s 2026 Elections: The Future of Democracy After Orbán

Hungary’s 2026 parliamentary elections mark a historic turning point not only for Hungary, but also for the global struggle between democracy and authoritarianism. This webinar brings together leading experts to examine the implications of the end of the Orbán era after more than fifteen years of illiberal rule. Panelists will discuss the prospects for democratic reconstruction in Hungary, the country’s socio-economic challenges, its future relationship with the European Union, the implications for regional and international security, and what the elections may signal for illiberal movements in Europe, the United States, and beyond.
