A Golden Age of Populism | ARTE.tv Documentary

Populism is flourishing everywhere. In Hungary, Viktor Orban is sowing division by showing his sympathy for Putin. In Slovakia, Prime Minister Robert Fico is subverting the media and culture sectors. In Russia, Masha Borzunova explains the "humanitarian visa" issued by Putin to welcome with open arms those who wish to flee the ‘decadent’ West.

The question I always have (looking at FARAGE becoming a UK MP after 7 failed attempts) and this also applies to the rise in populism in many parts of the world... What is it the OTHER POLITICAL PARTIES are NOT DOING that is making the people turn to these groups?

[stevodfn]

The problem is that there is always this one guy who's trying to convince us that the world is full of problems, but somehow he has simple solutions for all of them. That's what they all do and people still fall for it...

Every nation has its heavy legacy of history - and I don't know anything about Hungary's history. But obviously there's massive distrust and trouble with the so-called West. With that mentality, I wonder why Hungary still is in the EU. Is it just the money?

You should make a video "The Golden Age of Cheap Propagandists", though you may have to look in the mirror for a better understanding of the subject.

The people in Greek is δημος (demos), in Latin populus. What's the problem here.... especially when in power: democracy :)

[durbantonyo]

What is wrong with standing up for peace?

[viorelpiscanu]

You are labeling everthing wrong! Simply because EU POLITICIANS... It is no shame to be a true nationalist who love his homeland, to be a real patriot! EU' s future is not to create a melting pot of history traditions... No way! EU future is National Identity of each MEMBER... Thus EU will flourish ... Beauty in diversity...

[sheldondrake]

Populism used to mean 'giving a shit about the people', now it means 'pandering to bottom feeders'. We need the old word back, please find another one for 'vampire demagoguing'

[albeca]

Why can’t these people talk about anything without referring to Russia? The rise of populism in the EU has nothing to do with Russia.

[remm]

who is Masha Borzunova? a russian jurnaliste? where are Ukrainian journalists?

[svaty_peter]

The name “Tracks EAST” is very offending. Hungary and Slovakia are after all, despite few loud populists, EU, NATO members, WESTERN countries. Could you please stop with this Cold War remnant? For young people <30, it is just not correct.
