About this listen

In Part Two of our three-part conversation, Márta Pardavi, co-chair of the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, explains why—after 15 years of Viktor Orbán's rule—she's finally seeing cracks in the wall.

Despite relentless government control of the courts and media, Márta says Hungarians are beginning to find their voice again. She describes how investigative journalists, small crowdfunded outlets, and ordinary citizens are challenging the narrative—whether through a viral exposé on corruption, a banned Pride march that drew 200,000 people, or café conversations that have turned political.

Hosted by Drew Leifheit, Hungary for Change asks a pressing question: After a decade and a half of one-party rule, is Hungary ready for political change?Photo by Kostas Anastassiu: https://www.pexels.com/photo/inside-the-train-car-4355619/Photo by Kostas Anastassiu: https://www.pexels.com/photo/inside-the-train-car-4355619/Photo by Kostas Anastassiu: https://www.pexels.com/photo/inside-the-train-car-4355619/Photo by Kostas Anastassiu: https://www.pexels.com/photo/inside-the-train-car-4355619/
