Lally Weymouth's interview with Hungary's prime minister and head of the Fidesz party, Viktor Orban. Orban has come under strong criticism from the European Union and others about his centralization of power favoring the Fidesz party. He has done this since 2010 by using his party's two thirds majority in parliament. Here he defends his policies and responds to persistent questioning about stifling his critics including the head of the central bank, and rewriting the constitution to favor the views of his party.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
