Members of Hungary’s LGBT community say they feel increasingly unsafe. Many, like Nagy, plan to leave the country.
But, elsewhere, the popularity of the government’s conservative agenda endures. An election year is on the horizon, and strong anti-LGBT rhetoric appears part of a new political strategy from Prime Minister Viktor Orban. His Fidesz party has been showing signs of marching into semi-authoritarianism since it took power in 2010.
There are signs this strategy is firming up support from the party’s conservative base and from those further to the right.
