newshour weend special correspondent chris livesay has our report from budapest. >> reporter: from itsgnificent parliament building d its castles, churches, neoclassical statues, hungary is a country with history on full display. it's also being called a harbinger of europe's political future. hungary is a member of the european union and nato, but politics here have ste become more nationalist, led by primminister viktor orban, considered to be the most influential populist leader in europe today. the most visible symbol of nationalist hungary? this new electrified fence on the country's southern border "th serbia, built to protect what orban call"christian europe" from "invaders." zoltan kovacs is hungary's government spokesperson. >> we truly believe that in europe christianity has a ecial role. islam and christianity are not going to integrate because they e different. many have accused us of islamophobia. this is not the case. we all know that the clash of cultures and civilizations is indeed existing and when it comes anew as it happened back in 2015, it was really alarming. >> r

a citizen's initiative is collecting signatures in budapest. they're petitioning for a european public prosecutor. the hungary in government is still refusing to accept independent investigations from brussels but the pressure is growing with every signature. doing this because the e.u. money in hungry gets stolen. and there's no institution in hungary to deal with this case is a fraud free sale effect at fairly. took at this and i get that i support a european public prosecutor. without one of these thieves will live their whole lives never being brought to justice. in the village of to quote the european anti fraud office olof is already investigating and e.u. project is thought to have been declared far more expensive than it was eleven wouldn't towers were erected using e.u. money at seventy thousand euros per tower they were apparently built to promote tourism but there's no hotel or restaurant in sight hardly anyone in the village will speak to us then someone agrees but wants to remain anonymous the towers are of no use to anyone here he

there's no teeth behind them to make them do anything there's already an agreement in place the budapest agreement from two thousand and seven that already list a lot of these things but what they want to direct is to have countries not do the things that have been going on for the past couple of years particularly the united states from russia in from china now why the united states does want to play in this space is yet to be revealed but part of it has to do i think with the fact that there isn't specificity in what they want to do there's just generalizations of don't do these things and be a nice person in cyberspace in the big part of one of the. platitudes is that they don't want to hack back and what that means is not defined and so i think part of the problem is that there's no real definition of what they want to do other than just say please don't do these bad things on the the world stage and don't cause a war and don't do these things to prevent other countries from doing these things and there's no real sense in what they really want all this. so it sounds like you know the

which was an invitation for me to come to budapest. i should also say my father moved back to hungary after the fall of communism. so in 1990, which is another mystery. >> i absolutely recommend it is about so much more. it is a wonderful story. why don't we take a look at the next picture of you and your dad. there we are. >> this is in 2010. we are actually on this cute little incline train that goes up castle hill on the buddha's side of budapest and my father loved -- my father loved royalty of all kinds and so we spent a lot of time too worried the castle and sort of noble history such as it was of hungry.

to that point my father never spoke at all about being jewish, even though my father grew up in budapest, was a teenager in hungary during the holocaust, and went from a very privileged life, very assimilated, wealthy jews, my grandparents. of course all that was swept away with world war ii and my father became basically an urchin on the street, passing with a christian with a stolen fascist arm band and false identify identity painers and my father spent the succeeding decade, still very eager to pass which is what the christmas lights and the christmas tree were all about. so, suddenly to have this horror from the past sort of surge up in my father and accost me with, hey, wait a second, no, in the end, we are jews. >> right. >> that's what that moment was about. >> host: you do say in the book that passing as a christian had something to do with his success, desire to pass at as a woman. we talk about senate. >> would you like in to read the excerpt? >> yes, i hill us a starts -- the book starts in 2004 when you get a phone call from your father, who after the divorce from your mothe

budapest is a fabulous capital. you have world renowned food, world renowned culture, music. it's a great little jewel. and it also stood up in a way that taught the rest of europe, you know, against the soviets, and it was crushed at one point. it just seems that things are getting way too authoritarian. people can't figure out why this is happening in hungary of all places which should know better. >> i tell you one thing. i hope you won't waste my time. and you will look around. you will see this country is really developing. this country loves. this is the reason tourism increases in a very rapid way. it's a politically stable country. we have leadership. we have a strong leader, which i look at as a value. why do you say author daitarian? we won it based on the will of the people, and please, don't forget the hungarian people, if they were not smart enough to make a decision about their own future. >> did i say that? >> no, generally speaking, not you personally. how it comes that we spent eight years in office, and then we won another landslide victory with the most vot

national identity is based on hungarian ethnicity many internet and ethnic hungarian but you live in budapest you are someone not part of the nation, and i think that in many ways that's the phenomenon that we're seeing in the united states where you have a president that is perfectly happy to keep off of racial resentments and i think has encouraged a great deal of nostalgia for a time when america could understand itself is essentially a white european descendents come cheaper i think that's a lot of explanation for his popularity among his core supporters. this obviously is very problematic. i think given the de facto diversity of the united states today and it's a general challenge to democracy because what a lot of these populist politicians do is claim a kind of charismatic authority from having been elected come having been popularly elected. of course donald trump was not popularly elected.
