It started in Hungary and now it has spread to Poland
I'm afraid that whole region will regress to fascism

So far
Fico's party is going to lose an absolute majority in March
He's not that bad compared to Orbán for example
East Europe never believed in individual liberty and democracy.
These countries just pretended to be something else in order to receive favors from the West but now that they have achieved a somewhat prosperous state they can go back to the system they truly admire - which means authoritarian nationalist governments in the manner of Pilsudski and Horthy.

This is true unfortunately

Czechoslovakia was the last democracy in Central and Eastern Europe until the Munich agreement

The point is I could argue the same about Germany or Japan
Those are just excuses and these countries are secular, educated and prosperous enough with civil society sufficiently developed to have proper democracy
I don't know why is this happening
