Summary

Introduction

The present study attempts to define and outline the Hungarian meaning of the current concept of the phenomenon populism, which has been researched extensively in contemporary political science, jurisprudence and other social sciences. This populism of FIDESZ was directed against all elites, including the one that designed the 1989 constitutional system (of which FIDESZ was part too), claiming that it is time for a new revolution That is why he characterized the results of the 2010 elections as a “revolution of the ballot boxes”.’42 On the other hand, there are analyses that make comparisons in terms of the means of political communication used by populist leaders or regimes and the degree of ideology or progress in the actual transformation of institutional systems (see below in the research of Körösényi – Patkós). While rhetorically and ideologically opposed to cosmopolitan, (neo) liberal, technocratic elites in their political practice, right-wing populists adopt several neoliberal social and economic policy measures from them.53 7) Inseparable from the former point, a new middle class is created, known more precisely as ‘capitalist class’, largely through national or direct party management (by operating a system of public procurement, other tenders and targeted subsidies). The main difficulties are the absence of the mitigation of disadvantages and the preservation of backwardness
