Redigerer Viktor Orbán (avsnitt)

===Koronavirusepidemien===

I forbindelse med [[Koronaviruspandemien i 2019–2020]] innførte Ungarn 30. mars 2020 en kriselov som gir statsministeren (Orbán) mulighet til å styre ved hjelp av dekreter uten å gå veien om parlamentet. Kriseloven gjelder på ubestemt tid og gir statsministeren rett til å oppheve eldre lover og endre straffeloven slik at alle som «forvrenger fakta» kan interneres. Statsministeren kan selv avgjøre hvor lenge kriseloven skal gjelde. Kritikere mener Ungarn med dette har tatt skrittet over i diktatur. ''Washington Post'' kaller det et stille statskupp.<ref>{{Kilde www|url=https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/03/opinions/hungary-autocrat-covid-19-power-grab-bociurkiw/index.html|tittel=Hungarian leader's outrageous power grab|besøksdato=2020-05-11|forfattere=|dato=3. april 2020|fornavn=Michael|etternavn=Bociurkiw|verk=CNN|forlag=|sitat=Nowhere is the grab for unchecked power more egregious than in Hungary.
