SES5. Zsolt Enyedi on the 2022 Hungarian Election

RADIKAAL

My guest today is my former colleague Zsolt Enyedi. Zsolt is Professor in the Department of Political Science and Senior Researcher at the Democracy Institute of Central European University, which was initially based in Hungary but now primarily operates from Austria. His research focuses both on the role of religion in politics and on party politics. His most recent book, Party System Closure, co-authored with Fernando Casal Bertoa, was published by Oxford University Press in 2021. But Zsolt is also an expert on Hungarian politics and was, as Pro-Rector for Hungarian Affairs, very closely involved in the inevitably unsuccessful negotiations between CEU and the Orbán regime. He is therefore the perfect guest for the fifth episode in the Special Elections Series, which focuses on the Hungarian election of May 3, 2022.
