The new government “is crossing every boundary—human, moral, and rule-of-law. Hungarian voters did not give a mandate for this,” ex-PM Viktor Orbán wrote.

The move comes after Budapest’s criticism of the European Union that it is turning a blind eye to serious abuses.

Budapest hosted a screening of Taking Over, a documentary focused on the liberal Tusk government’s abuse.
