“National conservatives” are forging a global front against liberalism

 You might call Budapest a Mecca, were Islam not anathema to the pilgrims flocking there. An anti-Davos would be a better description: a place where conservative nationalists from all over the world gather to compare notes on how to defeat international liberalism. Either way, Hungary’s capital is at the heart of a global movement to reinvent right-wing politics.

Viktor Orban, Hungary’s prime minister since 2010, is one of the main proponents of the “national conservatism” that is newly ascendant in much of the world. “Hungary is saying outspokenly and loudly some anti-establishment things about migration, about the role of family, about gender, about the role of national sovereignty,” says Balasz Orban, the prime minister’s (unrelated) political director.
