Ornstein's remarks about Orban and CEU

This edit[1] is not an improvement. "Democratic backsliding" and "authoritarian shift" should be stated in Wiki voice, and it should not be deleted or characterized as ATTRIBUTEPOV. The WaPo is rebutting Ornstein's claim of "no evidence" for an authoritarian shift. "Gleefully" reflects RS reporting and informs readers as to how Orban's supporters used Ornstein's quotes.

Orban "regime"

Per this peer-reviewed study, Hungary is an example of a "competitive authoritarian" state: "Since the unilateral modifications of the constitution in 2013 confronting the Constitutional Court’s former judgments and interpretation competence, or the 2014 unfair elections at the latest, the Hungarian political system belongs in the category of non-democratic regimes. In hybrid regimes political competition may be real, but the broader institutional structure favours governmental forces and drastically decreases the chances of the opposition, and thus a democratic change of government."[2] Snooganssnoogans (talk) 12:49, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya

What are you exactly doing here? I do not care about how much you hate Mr Orban. It is your problem and I am sure you can find a forum to voice your thoughts/feelings. This article isn't one. I am sure Mr. Orban has his own dedicated site/page, where you can publish about how an evil he is. WP should not be the place for your personal vendetta though. This article should be all about Mr. Constein and not about how and what Mr. Orban did, or said. Mr. Constein is an 80 years old person, I am sure he's achieved a lot more then you and me, so I am sure we can improve the article, with content what actually based on his life/work, instead of focusing on a single event of his career as an ambassador. I counted the word "Orban" appears 11 times in the article and 3x in the references. Are you obsessed in any way with the Hungarian PM? Then I see the content repeated on backsliding. The readers can comprehend the meaning of statements, without repeating it. In the comment I noticed you wrote earlier "we also need to make it perfectly clear". No you don't. It is not the place for that. This is an article about Mr Cornstein.

Perhaps open an article where you analyse the situation in Hungary if none exists? It appears you know much more about Hungary then I do, but this article should focus on Mr. Conrstein. Hope we can get back this content on track.

Please refrain from simply removing others contributions.

His position as ambassador is why he is notable. The article focuses on what he is notable for. While ambassador he received significant international coverage for controversies he was involved in. The article reports on that. -- GreenC 21:49, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What the reverted text has to do with Mr. Cornstein? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.25.44.110 (talk)

It shows his views clearly attributed to mainstream sources including USA Today and The Washington Post. There is no convincing reason why it should be removed. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 10:38, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
