Fighting Orbán and Hungary's "Mafia State" - András Fekete-Győr
András Fekete-Győr is a Hungarian politician and chairman of the Momentum Movement, an opposition political party founded in 2015. Only 28 years old, he led the NOlimpia campaign last year that successfully campaigned against the Budapest bid to host the Olympic games in 2024.
Our chief editor Vincent Chow caught up with him before a party meetup in London and discussed the situation in Hungary, the media landscape, and how the party aims to wrest power from the hands of PM Viktor Orbán and the ruling Fidesz party who have transformed Hungary into a so-called "illiberal democracy".
