| Description | The lasting support of the Orbán regime refers to more than expressions of social and individual interests; it is grounded in cultural structures of solidarity holding together his electorate and apparatus. This text offers a cultural interpretation of Hungarian national conservative discourse, outlining how a set of interpretive communities was unified into a political community of Viktor Orbán’s followers. My aim is more hermeneutical than explanatory; that is, it works toward the reconstruction of meanings that make Viktor Orbán’s political authority comprehensible and acceptable for his allies as well as for his constituency. |
