democracy, maybe stay with the news. news, news, news. ah ah, all the news 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. all to be withdrawal for important. 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. model type part is a new parliament elected by the people and old all the institutions of demo were billed when the old bon government came to power. in my view

it margaret, a sharp change. i would say it is much closer to dictatorship. where are the exclusive only ideology is to retain power at whatever cost the you want to get a good deal. yeah. any of you know when you answer like lindsay and he sent horn up for an auto new load? i spell out your buffet as he got his asha oz and i don't actually ever see frequency. i've got as if they get kind of i don't thing that we all are bound to be voted out of power. no prices is high enough. just he wants to be

in power. that is his only goal in life. this is why i think he's so dangerous for hungering 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 a while to himself that he will never let go with the power to make them keep us simple. to me. i mean the se, then yeah. or by the lord the lecture the he was defeated in 2002. that the reason why he was the election because he didn't occupy the museum,

my 2010 when he just came to power with a 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 hungary because of the process you saw major. if you can override the constitution, you can change the the cardinal rules, you can do whatever you want. they changed it within 24 hours. so when he came to power in 2000 and then i think he had strategic plan off not letting go for this bower. and the more you want to know that he would, roy dressy respect sir. it's not for us. it's not 3 years left, free and hungry. first before he occupied the institutional system,

prosecutor's office. therefore, there can be no high level investigation started in government related 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 through the central bank and many other bodies. so the so called independent institution of brookfield laws, their independence, it has, it really became a typical populace politician. i think the only thing that matters is himself would explaining 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 give me a blended, but i don't see them electron, i'm subtle funding dark. but in to go more system i look for i'm right there 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 governments. 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 you're 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 with shame. i think in the also is there an playbook, the 1st thing. what you have to do if there are still elections, is to change the information environment.

10 years ago when mister or bon came to the polar t v 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, maybe they will 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 that pressure. 1 ah, i was working for the largest daily newspaper at the time called,

hun galion nation, while you on them that and 2 days after the connection stay announced that the largest newspaper at the time we'll be closed. so we decided to estimate weekly magazine called hungary on voice. he had no money. so we are starting from scratch. 1 ready unfortunately in hungary it's nobody brave enough to print our newspaper. so i had to find another option. since the beginnings we are printing or newspapers inflow achia, 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 ones,

doesn't one to, to give advertising to us. because they are afraid to be punished. everybody, he'll deal with the government. and they doesn't want to take a risk that's all last chance to remain journalist. if the hunger boys 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 any time by 2018 and 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. this

is a huge media machinery that allows the government to boost its messages in a highly concentrated form, more changing the attitude through dizzy information and narrative. and i think change 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, it's really remarkable that leading governmental for the shows, including the prime minister himself, are spreading the decor, ask one suppressor theories. 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 this

propaganda balloon. imagined that you spend a lot of time and money to build up a huge air balloon of propaganda. and there is a little hole in it. you have to close it. you have to close. glad you will. 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. oh it's also a term popu is under can be better described as the tribal politics because it's something an shop here in hungary war bond is rex is the leader of his tribe. there is nothing in between either your be the us

or a gas spouse. busy i think this is how democracies start to die. that run, you just don't dare to open your mouth. i asked you to demonstrate that the government action taking guide action a feeling to be among so many people a what is i think a remarkably unique into hungering case is a door bound could do it. beads, almost no application of wireless handling. this was just one of the towns where protest is reported to have been shot at 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 my young gun shows police stand the you have a narrow cabal of rulers, and they control armed force. they have a monopoly of force, now that they can suppress popular uprisings for change. ah ah,

i was planning the midnight wayne medical was a lie that commenter in chef them at all, which is a military force all steamers. ah, i was shock for 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 at all. rely on any political parties or organizations. we walk on any parties who agree 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

i with them. i mean, i was born and grew up in the middle military con, long as my father was a soldier who my father retired from military since 1999. 1 on return discrimination policy over race and religion announced and implemented within the middle. according to the policy, the military officers will not be promoted if he or she, if not by the end of that call. i honestly k virus. see, by all means if you are being kitchen, korean chin,

or other at the next and christian muslim or other religious, your virus infect, that person and a long in the society, me a great, a busy, whether the government is minorities equal to the major, 30 people might have a question. also, susie and our fellows protecting the brutal a piece of damage or even at the international state. and why the military wants to cool. it is clear, i don't expect that to roll 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 a with

because the relatively rigid, they hope at the 50 of the booted what value of it a bit logo like the military guys, region play house or do you do, gators, my wife and my brother, since then like we locate him, place it in different places every day. a i had with guy with

hi alicia or both cooper, treaty ali. so i just told because i knew that they would look for me but i keep holding it different. it looked 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 pay for duty here a little bit. you know, maybe that versus

doing really to deal with with

the the the the, the ah,

independent minded people are dangerous for any dictate or this is why they try to eradicate them both in stylings, 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 the young mar. i haven't seen anything better than democracy. 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. ah . november on al jazeera, also a year of turbulent weather. well lead us gather in glasgow for crucial summit on the battle against climate change. emmy award winning 4 lines goes beyond the headlines, investigating the untold stories across the u. s. millions in car gast, on both in parliamentary elections under a new constitution and more than a year after the lawful trigger. a political, quite immersive personal,
