Our chief editor Vincent Chow caught up with him before a party meetup in London and discussed the situation in Hungary, the media landscape, and how the party aims to wrest power from the hands of PM Viktor Orbán and the ruling Fidesz party who have transformed Hungary into a so-called "illiberal democracy".
