The Emergence of Anti-Liberal Politics in Central Europe
All of the Visegrad countries have had problems in the last few years with maintaining liberal democracy. In Hungary, the Fidesz party has stifled some liberal freedoms, while in Poland, the anti-liberal right is likely to stage a comeback in the next elections. In Slovakia the political scene is entirely dominated by a leftist populist movement, while in the Czech Republic, the last elections marked a spectacular rise of anti-system parties and movements, some which reject traditional party politics.
