The Érpatak Model
Érpatak is a Hungarian village of 1,750 souls, whose mayor, a genuine provincial Ubu, introduced an “anti-liberal” social model focused on the “worship of order” in 2008. Benny Brunner directs a Persian Letter sent from Orban’s Hungary, coldly analyzing the apparatus of brutal populism, the potential future of European political aboulia.
