prime minister mark router saying that there is no place for hungary in the e u. we will see if it's only a sentence or if it, if we will have some consequences that we all know that it's almost impossible to get rid of a country and to exclude these country from the european union. it's very difficult also to agree on sanctions. again, country, so i prefer to wait if there will be consequences, but it's sure that these values and some other ones are the ground principles of should be the wrong principles of our modern european civilization. and it, but it's, of course it's for people like like all but auto, auto ones in poland and elsewhere. it's of course, wonderful topic too because it's linked to identity. and so you can, with such a topic, increase the fear of the med, of a lot of people in the interpellation of a lot of heterosexual people, especially if they are more conservative, will have the impression, their own identity will be question. we had the same debate with huge demonstration, 9 years ago in france, when the hero sexual mariage was open. it a l

i'd like to come back to budapest, hungary, where does that? there's a big debate about the clash of cultures in hungarian society in eastern european society, liberal societies against a liberal societies who would want to live in a liberal society. what's the understanding from brussels of that conundrum? well if you look hungry on poland, for example, the parties that promoting this liberal democracy are still within elections. so you have to see that it seems that a majority of people still is supporting this. and we now see if, especially in hungry discussion because of the upcoming elections, that this might change because all opposition parties are now putting together a list to, to beat the fetus party of mr album. but it's still a struggle and it's in destruct, says in this society is in eastern europe, that they are not as far advanced when it comes to, to civil rights and gay rights and has been rights. this is the men of the twos. it can change, but it will take time. what do you say by that passcode that we have we have to for, for

he says, not certainly hungary, many eastern european countries have problems with sexual minorities. thank you for being with me today. all 3 of you and i'd like to go 1st of all to joe and to suggest that there is something in the air that we've reached a certain juncture. were there an awful lot of people who want to talk about gender inclusion, exclusion, all these aspects of, of life? suddenly it's the top of the agenda. why? why i think my personal belief is that there's so many other priorities that governments should be focused on. but this is a convenient little way to distract people so hungry. this is the 2nd line, i think last year they made it possible. they made it impossible for trans people to change their genders from the one they were signed at birth. this is absolutely a campaign they're following, what russia has done before them. sexual minorities are a great scape goat for a lot of social ills. and then even in, i say, in germany or in the united states, we always see these kind of stoking the culture wars. you know, there's, it's always a great thing to pick gro

but the commission is also trying to convince hungary with a threat. and that's about money because the disbursement of funds from the next you budget is linked to a state of law mechanism. it's called and this could be used for the 1st time in this case. but this is still a way to go because every element of states have to agree and polar sylvia on the side of hungary. so it's still complicated. but i also wanted to say that even in countries like belgium here in brussels, you are not always safe as a game. and you can of course, hold the hand of you know, if your partner in the european quarter. but if you go downtown the muslim communities, the myron communities live there, it's very advised not to do that. so they also problem in western europe. and it's a societal problems, not only politics because the rights in belgium, in the books of perfect for gays, bedroom is ranking on the 2nd place in the list that the rainbow and lobby groups do every year more to the 1st place in europe. does the 2nd and so, but there are still problems. i've got to tel

strong opposition party that cannot be fractured in a way in which it happened in hungary. the -- as you travel -- you know, i was obsessed with the hungary portion of your book because it is very different than china and russia, with these long, you know, century authoritarianism and soviet and communism rule, because even though they had a brief dalliance with democracy and capitalism, it was, you know, it was the trend -- the belief was eastern european, looking much more like western europe. what are you seeing in western european countries, particularly some of the stuff that's been happening in the u.k. with brexit and the rising sense of nationalism there? how worried are you about what comes in a post-merkel germany? >> that's a good question. one of the things about hungary that's interesting that's also like here, dan, is that the opposition is unified, probably have a good candidate, they could win the election next year, but orban has packed the courts. he still has his propaganda machine. he has all these wealthy backers. it could be kind of like here, where th

this is a dark day in hungary, in hungary and democracy.he government uses spyware to spy on opposition politicians and journalists. truly a disgrace, and we need an investigation how and why did it happen. brent: i want to share with the reviewers something that you posted on social media. you wrote, to all remaining four apologists and enablers in the european union, this is what you are supporting, a regime's partisans and a totalitarian criminal. katalina: i stand by this. brent: you are referring to viktor orban. katalina: of course. he is the person behindhe decline of democracy in hungary in the past 10 years. this is really just the tip of the iceberg. it that's an externally dangerous precedent, and i really do expect hungarian voters to take od notes of it when they go to the polls next april. brent: do you really think the voters are going to keep this in mind? if we look at the political landscape in hungary at the moment, mr. orban and his party enjoy a nice majority in parliament, they are not worried about losing it in the po

i'd like to come back to budapest, hungary, where does that? there's a big debate about the clash of cultures in hungarian society in eastern european society, liberal societies against a liberal societies who would want to live in a liberal society. what's the understanding from brussels of that can under well, if you look hungry on poland, for example, the parties that are promoting this liberal democracy, a still winning elections. so you have to see that it seems that a majority of people still is supporting this. and we now see if, especially in hungary, discussion in it because of the upcoming elections that this might change because all opposition parties are now putting together a list to, to beat the fetus party of mr album. but it's still a struggle and it's in the structures of the societies in eastern europe, that they are not as far advanced when it comes to, to civil rights and gay rights. and there's been rights. this is the metal for truth. it can change, but it will take time. what do you say by that passcode that we have we ha
