Hungary’s National Security Committee vice-president and Fidesz VP Szilárd Németh identified three opposition activists by name during a closed-door session of the committee on 12 September. Among them are the stage director Árpád Schilling and Márton Gulyás, co-founder of Schillings theatre group Krétakör. Together with the former “Politics Can Be Different” MP Gábor Vágó they could each be expected – according to Németh – to engage in subversive activities this autumn with the intention of “participating in the disruption of Hungary’s internal order.”

After the law against foreign NGOs and attacks against journalists this is another step of the Hungarian government to criminalize expression of political opposition in the country.
