BRUSSELS – The EU is not only experiencing an economic crisis.
Even more worryingly, it is suffering a democratic crisis in its member states, including, among others, Hungary.
Since the arrival in power of Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his conservative party Fidesz, Hungary has gone through a set of dramatic changes to its legal system.
Not only has the Hungarian parliament adopted a new piece of legislation almost every day, among them some highly controversial laws which have restricted media freedom.
