Intransigent and capricious, without fully knowing the obligations and rights of the Chief Executive of the most powerful country in the world, the former president Donald J. Trump He tried, from his first day in the Oval Officeto do his will and impose his whims like a sovereign, which left him with great frustrations. That did not depend only on his office and collaborators, but on the political structure of a democracy, which with checks and balances, guarantees a Government attached to the Constitution.
On numerous occasions, Trump He made public his dream of being the absolute leader of United States of America for an indefinite period, imitating Russian President Vladimir Putin, the president for life of China, Xi Jinping and even of Kim Jong-unfrom North Korea, which under a democracy was practically impossible.
REPLICATE THE MODEL
Until he met Viktor Orbán, Prime Minister of Hungary for 14 years, promoter of extreme conservative policies, anti-immigrant and close ally of President Putin, of whom Trump, upon learning his ideology, heard it as the siren song, inspiring and encouraging his difficult path to the reconquest of the White House, from which he does not intend to leave, as he was forced to in 2021, despite refusing.
From 2010, Orbán, He has remained in power, having come to it as leader of the Fidesz party.
Since then, it has transformed Hungary, turning it into a laboratory for conservative policies under what he calls “illiberal democracy and Christian freedom,” centralizing power, dismissing judges, changing electoral rules in favor of his party, dismantling ONG’s and appointing staff who guarantee loyalty in all key institutions.
Las Constitutional reforms and the laws he has enacted have allowed him to win four consecutive elections through “super majorities” achieved through numerous changes to electoral districts, which allow him to stay in power, in addition to controlling two-thirds of Parliament.
ACHIEVE CONTROL
His model, which emerged as a result of pressure from the liberal line, transformed his party into a nationalist force y anti-liberal who developed a successful conservative government scheme, aimed at highlighting the traditional family, extreme conservative values supported by the nationalist christianity, border control, by building a large wall on the dividing line with Serbia, to contain undocumented immigration from Europe, ensuring that “there is a clear connection between immigrants and the
expansion of terrorism,” something Trump has also said.
Orbán enacted laws that eliminated the rights of transgender people, banning the union of two people of the same sex. same sextoday limiting adoptions to married couples of a man and a woman.
The European Parliament and critics accuse him of circumventing the rule of law, corruption and violating community rights. LGBTQ+, describing his government as a “Hybrid Electoral Autocracy Regime,” which erodes constitutional rights and protections of civil society, limits the political activities of the opposition, the struggle for workers’ rights by unions, and more.
Based on the theories of cultural wars, Orbán imposed a ban on books, abolition of toilets for people LGBTQ+ in schools and other places, and other policies by which Trump and radical Republicans who support it have so far promoted it without success in the United States.
“This political platform is the recipe for maintaining national identity, in a conservative way,” says Orbán, a model that was immediately adopted and promoted by Trump to the Republican Party, with the promise of maintaining the elections, in such a way that, like the PFirst Hungarian Prime Ministerensure only control and success in this political institute.
Orban in the United States
Passionate again and convinced that this was the formula to return to power in the United States and, if he wanted, to stay in office forever, Trump received Orbán in Washington and invited him to a meeting at the Heritage Foundation, in which he spoke of his model for the country, arguing that liberal democracy does not work, to officials at all levels of the Republican Party, showing them the path that, apparently, converted many defectors.
Since then, close cooperation, exchange of ideas and joint work began through the Hungarian Institute of International Relations, which is run by Gladden Priest, Director of the Hungarian Institute of International Relations.
In addition to the visit to Washington, DC, Viktor Orbán, who has avoided contact with the administration of President Joe Biden, was received by Donald Trump in Maralago.
Just on May 2, a large delegation of Republican legislators from Trump’s team traveled to Budapest, Hungary, carrying a videotaped message from the former president, for the III Annual Conservative Political Action Conferenceattended by supporters from across Europe, to praise Orbán’s authoritarian administration and prepare a manual with steps for implementing that model in the United States starting in 2025.
In the next edition, we will describe the Leadership Handbookcontained in the Project 2025, which is the platform of Donald Trump and the basis for the transition of government that he hopes will take place after overcoming the legal problems he has, in case he wins the tight elections.
