Webinar: Hungary After the Elections - The first few weeks in restoring democracy and the rule of law
Monday, May 18, 2026 at 07:00 PM · Zoom in United Kingdom
At 7pm (UK) on Monday 18th May we welcome back Márta Pardavi, co-chair of the Hungarian Helsinki Committee for an online talk about the recent defeat of Viktor Orban in Hungary’s general election and progress towards restoring democracy and the rule of law.
Cambridge for Europe are co-hosting this online talk with Oxford for Europe and Grassroots for Europe.
About this webinar
In the April 2026 parliamentary elections, Hungarians overwhelmingly voted against corruption and democratic decline and for a pro-Europe orientation. This webinar examines evolving ideas to rebuild checks and balances, judicial independence, and fair political competition, while navigating entrenched constraints such as constitutional lock-in and state capture.
It will also assess whether European Union rule of law tools are able support a credible path toward democratic renewal.
About Márta Pardavi
Márta Pardavi is co-chair of the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, a leading human rights NGO based in Budapest, Hungary. She has recently been focusing on the threats to the rule of law and civil society space in Hungary and the EU. She also co-leads the Recharging Advocacy for Rights in Europe (RARE) programme, which equips human rights defenders to build stronger organisations and alliances for joint action on civic space and the rule of law in the EU.

Return travel from Cornwall for the 10th anniversary march - show the government that support for rejoining the EU is stronger than ever.
This year there's a new start point at Temple Station, a new route crossing Waterloo and Westminster Bridges, and then the rally in Parliament Square! You won't want to miss this chance to march on the 10th anniversary of the referendum to show your support for the EU, but it isn't just about rejoin this year. WITH THE RISE OF RIGHT WING ELEMENTS AND ATTITUDES, AND THE DANGER TO OUR DEMOCRACY, WE NEED TO SHOW THE GOVERNMENT THAT THERE ARE MANY, MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT NATIONALISTIC, ISOLATIONIST AND RACIST, AND THAT WE VALUE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION.
Brexit has been a disaster that is plain for all to see, and the loss to the UK is immeasurable. The list of damages is endless and if we want to reverse it, we need to make sure that our government knows how we feel. They have taken some small steps in the right direction, but it isn't enough.
That's why we will be joining the National Rejoin March IV and this one needs to be even bigger than the last three.
Tickets are not restricted to members of Cornwall for Europe, so please bring your friends and family and help make history!
