Let’s Begin…
"Today, Hungary is in the gray zone between a dictatorship and a democracy," says activist Tessza Udvarhelyi. "This did not happen overnight." In a rousing talk, she reminds us just how close any country can come to authoritarianism — and offers on-the-ground lessons for how to keep democracy alive through focus, determination and imagination.
At the end of her talk, Udvarhelyi says “Just like Hungarians have to fight for our own freedom and rebuild democracy, you all have to do the same, no matter where in the world you are sitting…” Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?
