This podcast features Ákos Hadházy, the veterinarian and former Fidesz MP who, over the past 13–20 years, has become one of the most persistent anti-corruption figures in Hungarian public life.

In this conversation, we look back in detail at how he went from party discipline to becoming a critic of the system, what personal and political costs he paid for consistently opposing the Fidesz power structure, and why he has never been able to accept the systemic prevalence of political abuses.

We also discuss how Ákos Hadházy currently views the state of Hungarian democracy, questions surrounding the credibility of Péter Magyar, the one-party system he believes is represented by the Tisza Party, and why he thinks a genuine political transition will only come when every corrupt Fidesz politician—from Viktor Orbán to János Lázár—is brought to justice and imprisoned.
