tomorrow's discussion. what i, what i saw, what i witnessed and pray, and nobody sees it down country. international filmmakers, the world class journalist, let's take a deep dive into common prosperity, bring programs to inform and inspire you read this list and that can make a difference now. for now, just 0. ah, all the no. i thought that my journalistic camera, 44 years ago in 1985, i was appointed the most school bureau, chief of hungary and television. those were the war by 12 years.

nobody at that time wanted to go to the soviet union. and when i came back home, communism was over in hungary, it was a completely new and strange world. i all to must be withdrawal for important that everybody in hungary had great expectations about democracy and about changing to capitalism. and that that time hungary was in the forefront of the changes the hungarian society created legislation, mar, type, artist, and new parliament, elected by the people and old, all the institutions of democracy were billed. when the old bond government

came to power in my view, it the market a sharp change. ah, i would say it is much closer to dictatorship. where are the exclusive only ideology is to retain power at whatever cost the oh yeah. the deal. yeah. any of you know when, when, when he sent or not or not, or no load i spare so glad you will. buffet as the guy as asha was an m ha ha! made the on actual we didn't that way as i feel for when he got as if they get kind of i don't thing that we are bound to be voted out of power. no prices is high

enough. just he wants to be in power and that is his only goal in life. this is why i think he's so dangerous for getting democracy. the prime minister all came to power for the 1st time, very young still in his thirty's, in 1998. when he lost the elections. i think he made the allow to himself that he will never let go with the power to make them keep us stephanie. i mean the yeah. or bothered to lecture me. he was defeated in 2002. that the reason why he could lose the

election because he did the drop you by the media might prove you 2010 when fidel came to power with 2 thirds majority, it meant that politically, he can do anything he wants because he had a full even constitutional, strong position in parliament with if he wanted, he could have introduced a kingdom in hunger because of the process you saw majors, you can override the constitution. you can change the, the car, the lows, you can do, whatever you want. they changed it within 24 hours. so when he came to power in 2010, i think he had strategic plan off not letting go for this power. and the more you want to know that you were growing respect, sir. it's not for us. it's not 3 years left, free and hunger 1st before he occupied the institutional system,

prosecutor's office. therefore, there can be no high level investigation started in government with corruption. and of course, he needed to conquer the media because he understood that the media is the 4th key element of any democracy or power. the media with the central bank and many other bodies. so the so called independent institutions of brookfield, lowe's, they're independent. it hasn't really became a typical populace, a politician. i think the only thing that matters is himself retaining power and making himself ready to reach. abraham lincoln once said mm, if you want to test a man's character, give him power. ah, it's important to recognize that democracy without constraint can be extremely

dangerous. in some places, what we've seen is a decay in those liberal rights. i'm without actually seeing an elimination of free and fair election. you're the, if you could get a blended, but i don't see them electron on file binding dark. but in to go more system i look for i'm right. during most of modern history, up through the mid to late 20th century. the main way in which democracies died was through some kind of violent break with the past, you know, the military out on the street with the tags and the guns over throwing democratically elected government. these days, democracy doesn't die. suddenly it dies by a 1000 cuts. step by step and it dies silently and incrementally as elected leaders like victor,

or bon and hungry. rather than autocrats violently over throwing democratic regimes . they come to power through the ballot box. and rather than ending free and fair elections, they gradually undermine the norms and institutions of democracy from with. and so what am i supposed to do? i'm a problem with this is that sometimes citizens don't know exactly what's going on until you wake up one day and your free press is gone. you wake up one day, the system looks the same, but deep down. the system has been turned inside out and transformed from an electron demarco into a competitive authoritarian regime, i think in the author an playbook. the 1st thing, what you have to do if there are still elections, is to change the information environment. the

news 10 years ago when the total bun came to the polar tv allies that he has to control the media. and they started to buy media outlets one by one. they have different tactics. if they can buy one media, they are buying. if they intimidate the other one, they are intimidating and if they close one media, david, close it. so there is a pressure on us. but we have to be very careful of course, and we have to be brave enough to support the pressure. ah, i was working for the largest daily newspaper at the time called hungary nation on

them. and 2 days after the collection stay announced that the largest newspaper at the time will be closed. so we decided to estimate the weekly magazine called hungary voice. he had no money told me were starting from scratch. ready unfortunately in hungary its nobody brave enough to print the newspaper. so i had to find. ready another option since the beginnings we are printing or newspapers in slow achia ah, some of the retail chains are not brave enough to sell us. even the readers are not brave enough to be subscriber, even the market companies, the multi national swans,

doesn't one to, to give advertising to us. because they are afraid to be punished. everybody, to deal with the government. and they doesn't want to take a risk that's all the last chance to remain. journalist is hungry, i'm voice will be closed. we have to leave the journalism and we have to find a new way of surviving. so we could be stopped at anytime by 2018, they created a huge government controlled media. conglomerate off no less than $470.00 different media outlets. this foundation controls about 90 percent of the media. 90 percent of the audience

is a huge media machinery that allows the guns the media landscape and change the electoral system. so that makes it easier for you to read in hungary, the official politics of the government. i think he's quest versus theory and it's really remarkable that leading governmental physicians, including the prime minister himself, are spreading the dicker, a squarespace, a series. and if you are opening your mouth and criticizing the government, then you can easily find yourself in a very brutal and this honest this information can be they tried to silence glue, glad you became glad you wouldn't fit into the saloon of propaganda. and there is a little hole in it. you have to close it, you have to close. glad you're because glad you is the little hole. the truth comes

out. if you close your eyes and, and put aside your moral obligations or professional principles, you can continue working for for the government media. but you will know that you are lying every day. ah, who is also returned. populism can be better described as to tribal politics because it's think a shot. oh, in hungary war bomb is works is the leader of his tribe. there is nothing in between either your be us or a gas spouse. i think this is how democracies start to die. that when you're just gone dare to open your mouth invoice. and i asked to demonstrate that the government action had taken good guide actions. and it's actually

a great feeling to be among so many people. oh, what is i think remarkably unique in hungary case is a door bound could do it beads, almost no application of wireless handily. this was just one of the towns where protest is reported to be shocked by the security services in mandalay. sometimes democracy fails and i think this is an example now that just happened in burma because you have some power for actor

external to the political system that doesn't want to allow democracy, that feels threatened by democracy. and i think that's what's happened recently with the military coup and me and mar, young gun shows police standing over the you have a narrow cabal of rulers, and they control armed force. they have a monopoly of force. now they can suppress popular uprisings for change. ah ah,

i was turning the midnight one minute to cool with that commenter and shut off them at all, which is a military force all steamers. ah, i was shock for a whole day even we predicted them at all. we'll take over the control sooner or later as i am an executive member of revolutionary democratic for me and my comrade stood at our conversation about how can we respond to the action. so i will move that does not support it or rely on any political parties or organizations. we walk on any parties who agreeing with our principles,

such as abolishing the military region, abolishing 2008 constitution, which is the main pillar of military aging. and achieving for democracy and free all political prisoners. i don't want to live and see our generation live under the dictatorship. i a, [000:00:00;00] i had

a good thing i was born and grew up in them at all military combat. as my father was a soldier who my father retired from military since 19991, a new 10 discrimination policy over race and religion announced and implemented within them at all. according to the policy, the military officers will not be promoted if he or she is not by me and i call i only k virus. see by me, if you are being kitchen krench and or other at the next and christian muslim or other religious, your virus infect that person and a long in the society. a

great, a busy is whether the government is minorities, the call to the major 30 people might have a question also, and our fellows protecting the brutality, soft amador, even as the international state and why the military wants to cool. it is clear, i don't expect that to, as i say, i rode through elect to real process, but you see be filled in both 20152020 election. and of course they are not happy with it. there are places in the world where the military is so powerful, it just doesn't seem to be willing to allow a democratic political system. the i think democracy stems from the innate desire of human beings for dignity, for respect,

that comes with freedom and you can have freedom without democracy. in the absence of that, what is to protect you from a knock on the door in the middle of the night from the secret police, or just the police saying you've violated this law or that. and you're being taken away and then who will defend you? and who will protect you when everybody is living under the same fear of a a i really hated because the really to read it at 50 of to put it

a blog that like the military guys did read it. play jose, do you need to look at it, my wife and my brother, since then, like we locate in place it in different places. every now a demo with with

hi hedge felicia or both cooper, treaties, ali. so i just called because i knew that they would look for me but i keep getting pulled in a different activity afoot like a failure to be screwed up with my motorcycle group. we don't know what to do and we don't know. we're going to have to, if we do, to help with it as nursing doing really to deal

with with

the the the, the ah, independent minded people are dangerous for any dictator. this is why they try to

eradicate them both in style in russia or soviet union in hitler's nazi germany. the same was under cut, duffy in libya. the same happened in romania and nikolai chesko and it's happening now in neon mark. i haven't seen anything better than democracy. ah, if you turn the question around, you see what the lack of democracy causes in human history, mass killings, oppression, poverty. so where are we heading? ah, what we are leaving behind for children. this is or duty to bring the bow all the day that come on guys, we are heading into the wrong direction. a

fascination of decision destabilizing the democratic process. you for you. it was it, it will be the last for all the a documentary explores how autocratic leaders undermine democracy to consolidate their power through the eyes of those who dare to stand and defy it. our country deserves so much better than being ruled by a cleft aquatic dictatorship, opposing autocracy. democracy may be on al jazeera. mm. me each and every one of us had to go to responsibility. to change our personal space for the better we in we could do this experiment. and if by diversity could increase just a little bit, that wouldn't be worth doing. anybody had any idea that it would become a magnet who is incredibly rare species. they are asking for women to get 50

percent representation in the constituent assembly urine. getting these people they got to collect the 2nd to get the same. the re saying this extremely important service that they provide to the city i. we need to take america to trying to bring people together and trying to deal with people who left behind after world war 2, frances great empire began to unravel in vietnam who most everybody was staying themselves into the st. busting with joy kissing each other. and algeria, he lives and or she knew if the endo chinese that managed to beat the french army. why not back? the decline continues an episode to blood and tears, french di colonization on al jazeera.

ah, accused of crimes against humanity. a draft report says brazil's president should face criminal charges as handling of coven 19. ah! i money insight. this is al jazeera ally from di hall. so coming up, shes in the chinese property, john ever grand drop by more than 10 percent as a key deal full story prompting new fears of collapse. u. s. president joe biden
