| description | As of 2010, there is an
increasing authoritarian political structure in Hungary. Winning the elections,
the Fidesz government led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán makes constitutional
amendments in line with the party's purposes, guides the media outlets
according to its interests, and silences the opponents. The West, which supports
democracy even in other countries, has had to struggle with rising
authoritarianism within itself. In this study, the rising authoritarianism in
Europe and the position of the EU is examined. The study deals with the issue
of authoritarianism in Hungary after evaluating the literature on
authoritarianism. In the present study, which includes some comparisons with
Turkey, a case study has been carried out. It has been conducted through
document analysis method, taking into account the reports published by the
Venice Commission and Council of Europe. As a result, it is emphasized how the
EU remains weak in preventing authoritarianism and that authoritarianism can be
not only in non-Western countries but also in the West. |
