“It’s now very well known in the international media that we’re on a very dangerous track toward a more and more authoritarian regime,” said István Hegedűs as quoted by Andrew MacDowall in his article "Illiberal Democracy: How Hungary’s Orban Is Testing Europe" published in World Politics Review on 18 December 2014.
