- "Today, Hungary is in the gray zone between a dictatorship and a democracy," says activist Tessza Udvarhelyi. "This did not happen overnight." In a rousing talk, she reminds us just how close any country can come to authoritarianism - and offers on-the-ground lessons for how to keep democracy alive through focus, determination and imagination. (Followed by a brief Q&A with TED curator Cloe Shasha Brooks)

Hello from Russia. That's how it works. People don't just turn evil overnight, don't just say "oh we have a dictator now, we like it". People are boiled slowly to a state, when they think that's the onky way things work, there's no chance of changing it etc.
I am questioning my self, how in country, where has no democracy, a protester, self- announced government’s enemies. Became a member of municipal government by vote?
Hungarian here. We have separate elections for local governments and the central government. While they did change the law for both types of election, the small self governed areas are much easier to win for the opposition, if they have a majority in the city (still not easy, but possible).
I just believe that is dangerous comparison between anti democratic and not agree with the kind of politics that has been done in the country.
@@Carloseopessoa Its hard to argue that it is an authoritarian system. But yes, technically it is possible to democratically change the ruling party through the elections. It is just very unlikely, because:
1, they changed the voting system so it is beneficial for them. For example, in 2018 they got less then half of the votes, yet they got more than 2/3 of the seats in the parlament
2, they gave vote opportunity to the hungarian minorities in other countries (we are talking about millions of people), and they give them serious benefits regularly to make sure they vote for them
3, the legal system, cultural institutes (schools, theaters etc.) and the media are heavily manipulated by them.
Most say it is a hybrid regime. It's not really democracy, while not being a dictatorship either. Although most major decisions are made by one individual.
We all need to wake up. Keep our eyes, our brains and our hearts open.
Start with community and imagine change and action... Love with courage... Thank you for a way to go! With love and strength!
Very good!!! Inspiring!!!!
Szívből gratulálok Tessza 👏👏👏 csak így tovább 🤞 Juhász Mária, Stockholm
There's really not much difference from other western countries in the examples she mentions about civilians protesting against (bureaucratic) power. It happens in a lot of countries. Same methods, often same results. Possibly the US is different where the reaction of power can be very violent and oppressive. Look e.g. at the suppression of protest against the Gaza war.
You have screws loose.
A lot of RESPECT!
Good for you!
0:16 🌐 Hungary has experienced a gradual shift towards authoritarianism over the past 13 years, moving from a lukewarm democracy to a gray zone between dictatorship and democracy.
0:39 🏛 The right-wing government in power since 2010 has embraced dangerous elements like nationalism, racism, homophobia, disdain for the poor, and a fear of "others."
1:02 ⏳ The authoritarian transformation was gradual but persistent, marked by measures like criminalizing homelessness and passing anti-worker labor laws.
2:25 🌍 Despite being an EU member with regular elections, Hungary exhibits authoritarian tendencies in its government's relationship with the people.
3:36 🤔 Democracy is questioned not by the presence of elections or a constitution but by the actual power citizens feel they have to affect change from below.
5:21 💪 Democracy is a continuous process that relies on active dissent rather than passive consent, as advocated by the School of Public Life.
6:12 🌐 Despite challenges, there is a resilient segment of Hungary's population working for social justice, environmental justice, workers' rights, and quality public services.
8:00 🏙 Grassroots efforts, like "The City Is for All," exemplify the power of communities in fighting for housing justice, self-confidence, and political identity.
9:12 💡 Local initiatives in Budapest and the 8th district showcase participatory budgeting, allowing residents to directly influence municipal spending, fostering a new kind of politics.
10:06 🌈 Highlighting positive instances amidst political challenges is crucial in shaping public perception and inspiring the belief in alternatives to authoritarianism.
11:05 ✊ Individuals must actively engage in shaping and defending democracy, understanding that change requires personal commitment, organization, and pushing political boundaries.
"Hungary needs a color revolution." There, I saved you 13 minutes.
In my point of view when we are well organized within society we create more opportunities then we would enjoy the actual meaning of democracy.
This is insightful and propelling. Many of us take for granted the current window of opportunity to foster our democracy forgetting that the more we allow democratic backslide, the harder it becomes to establish it. Just look at Iran.
is it democratic that currently your 1 thumbed up comment supporting the video is pushed to the top whereas anyone else exposing the lies of the video title is hidden
@@starc. Honestly, what is your problem?
@@starc. Well, TH-cam aligrithm says yes. That's democratic enough.
@@zoranblackie5921 you're all allowed to chat but I'm not simply because I start talking about the real problems and giving real solutions. Anything that distracts and wont help is promoted, anything true and real is .....
@@agadavictor6947 that proves my point that democracy is 4uth0r tar ian.... cant even type it here
👏👏👏
The crazy eyes are strong in this one.
good lesson
Municipal budget to be spent as the citizens see fit . Love it .
Go Udvarhelyi Tessza go! Hajrá Udvarhelyi Tessza!
The same in Turkey we have constitution and vote but can we talk about democracy. NO! The Hungarian officials and Turkish Officials have a good partnership, not surprisingly the authoritarians always support each other. And, the people looking for human rights, freedom expression, and predictable future should be able to make the same. Thanks for your wonderful speech Tessza.
Спасибо за совет…
А зачем русским демократия?😅 они же Путина любят. 😂
👍💯❤️
Shouldn’t the CIA be giving this lecture? They’ve done in it in almost 80 countries to date.
thats what this is, outsourced to their flock
It sounds so unrealistic, to be honest. I certainly admire all the actions of these brave people, but what should people do who are really imprisoned for 8-10 years for an anti-war picket? for saying that we are against the war. I live in Russia, and I feel endless despair from this situation.
stay strong brother
Hello from Russia either, I feel you =(
You guys should give a constitutional republic a try
Indonesia juga mengalami hal serupa, berada zona abu-abu, persimpangan jalan, antara *Dinasti Keluarga* dengan *Demokrasi yg berlandaskan teknokrasi/meritokrasi.* Semoga Pak Anies Baswedan menjadi Presiden Indonesia 2024-2029. AMIN
"Democracy is a verb not a noun" 🔥
look up the etymology and its original meaning - something that can never be changed
Nice to see you mam but 😮
Shameful for a platform like TED to host such a video.
Was in Hungary for a month, it was awesome.
But Hungarian people keep voting for this right wing party....
The water is boiling alright in india
Someone who's paid by soros open society talks about authoritarian state? Wtf
* laughing in Russian *
Hungary's Democracy Awakening leader! Thank you Tessza Udvarhelyi! ✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊
Isn't Orban democratically elected? Why people like her disrespect the majority of Hungarian people?
Things like this doesn't work in I-r-a-n.
100percent this woman is democratic,deserve credit.
The largest democratic nation is now a boiling frog 😢
I anticipate Hungary tourism has risen as well…
TED needs to treat Coleman Hughes better.
4:21 The name is Victator Orbán.
Oh man, all those other civilizations that came before us would have been okay if they had only voted.
Lmfao
Thank you for your insight and encouragement. As a US citizen, like you, I will continue to fight for my freedoms, if our country loses its democracy this year. I learned much from my Russian and German in-laws to know that I do not ever want an authoritarian government. I fear for the lives of my seven young grandchildren.
This 51% democracy... I'm not sure it gets us to freedom... The dictatorship of the majority is my concern...
Justin Trudeau should give a Ted Talk on how to turn a democracy into an authoritarian regime.
What is this woman talking about ???! Hungary is a proud country !!! Stop lies of this woman!
If ancient Rome was democratic it wouldn't have fallen 🙃
Do you think CCP China can build democracy from autocracy？
I know how bad it is ... And it's Europe Union 😢
Allow the citizens the natural right to have arms.
You have no idea what is dictatorship is.
You have no idea what it's like to be colorblind!
See. I can make irrelevant statements too.... Tf was the point of saying what you said??
Don't confuse dictatorship with totalitarian dictatorship.
Don't confuse dictatorship with ricktatorship
She did not say it was a dictatorship. She said others usually ask her, who is the dictator of Hungary.
@@TrollForKnowledge not everything someone says is not true just because you dont understand where they're coming from. The video title reveals all that needs to be known.
You should say it to North Koreans
Chinese here watching this video while afraid of my government taking me in jail because I am using youtube.....
3:40 - No.
It could be worse, you could be a hostage in the settler colony of the USA.
How to build democracy in authoritarian countries.., like USA, you meant?
Sounds like American left wing BS lol.
You seem to need a dictionary... (quite normal for a typical leftist)... Democracy means Demos-Kratos... the gob of the people... it is a system of gov n which state power is vested to the people... the general pop of such state... through their elected representatives... you mentioned that the gob with which you disagree so much was democratically elected... process that... You simply dont share the ideas of the majority of your hungarian peers.... therefore feel free to speak all you want.... but dont you dare to tresspase in a building or cut a street... and dont you dare to say you represent "the people" when you represent "some people"... herding some poor people dont entitle you to say you represent "the people"... leftist talk.... and when they feel that the majority of the people still dont vote for them... they start making irruptive activism because they think that... oh... people dont vote for us because not enough people hear us.... if they hear us they will vote for us because we are obviously right... we just need more exposition.... well.. guess what.... you are wrong.... you simply dont represent the people.... learn it... process it... accept it... deal with it... and limit youself to excercise your well deserve freedom of speaeh and dont you dare to cross other lines
state power is vested to "some" people and not others implies its authoritarian which is what all democracies are
There must be something wrong with your period button. It always types three times more than it should've. Do you like it when someone pushes their opinions onto you? But we all have freedom of speech and don't you dare say "don't you dare" to anyone. Less toxicity and more processing won't be extra for yourself as well.
This is going to be an absolute doozy of ignorance, arrogance, and thinly veiled ambition...
You meant to say "How to engineer regime change in a country you don't like". There, fixed it for you.
🎯💯 Exactly
Amazing how many comments came in less time than it takes to watch the video...
"How to be snarky to get attention when you have no substance to contribute" - There, I fixed yours for you. 😂
Democracy is when "regime change" is possible frequently. Not because you don't like a country, but exactly because you like it! Detecting and fixing problems is not possible effectively without political pluralism.
I hope she's talking about Hungary, because in New York where she is; it's a constitutional republic
Stand with Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel!!!
She 's a traitor !!!
nonsense title. I cant even explain it on here because this place is so "democratic". To say the least Democracy is A .....
Just a jew talking about how to subvert sovereign nations. Nbd
