Bernie Sanders rebuked former President Donald Trump Monday after the frequent admirer of dictators endorsed the reelection of Hungarian President Viktor Orbán, under whose administration Hungary's generation-old democracy has been severely eroded. "Trump wants to do here what Orbán has done in Hungary: weaken democratic institutions, curb press freedom, and rewrite election laws to entrench his own party's power," Sanders (I-Vt.) tweeted. "The threat to our democracy could not be clearer, and we must act boldly to protect it." According to Amnesty International, under Orbán, "the government continued to undermine judicial independence and public confidence in the judiciary," while "women and transgender people were discriminated against in law and in practice" and "asylum-seekers were refused safe entry at borders and were expelled." Furthermore, Amnesty said that "changes to laws to contain Covid-19 restricted freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.”" *** The largest online progressive news show in the world.
