Abstract

This paper analyses and comments Lucia Bellucci's "La sindrome ungherese in Europa. Media, diritto e democrazia in un'analisi di Law and Politics". The book describes the recent changes in the Hungarian legal system and focuses especially on the Hungarian media law. The author compares it with the Italian media law, which is illustrated as well, and draws the conclusion that the rise of illiberal democracy is not only a reality for Hungary, but also a concrete risk for Italy.
