"In Hungary Many Artists Have Left The Country"

   
"[This week] the European parliament has voted to trigger the EU's most serious disciplinary procedure against Hungary, saying the country’s government poses a “systematic threat” to democracy and the rule of law. 

Gergely Nagy writes about the impact of the political right on culture in Hungary."

But,as far as I know, there are not MP imprisonned, like in Spain. Nevertheless, no "disciplinari procedire"is implemented.

Thank you for your comment. Yes, the imprisoned Catalan MPs and civic leaders who campaigned for independence from Spain are all still currently in prison after almost a year. I believe you're also correct about Hungary but this piece details many of the other instruments of what is operating as a virtual dictatorship: https://www.boell.de/en/2018/03/07/hungarian-elections-april-will-be-neither-free-nor-fair
