Hungary, led by Viktor Orban, exhibits a stark authoritarian transformation often praised by Donald Trump. However, the Czech Republic presents a hopeful counter-narrative; popular protests during the Million Moments for Democracy movement ultimately pressured the anti-democratic regime of Prime Minister Andrej Babis. This movement illustrates how grassroots mobilization can unify citizens against autocratic leaders, potentially offering a roadmap for Trump's opponents as they continue mass demonstrations across the U.S. in hopes of reestablishing democratic norms.
Despite Hungary's turn towards illiberal democracy under Viktor Orban, the contrasting fate of the Czech Republic provides a hopeful blueprint for opposition through mass protests.
The Czech Republic has seen the success of street protests transforming into a unified electoral strategy, potentially paving the way for defeating leaders like Trump.
