Public engagement

Balázs Trencsényi has been interviewed by numerous Hungarian-language,[14] [15] [16] German-language,[17] [18] [19] Czech-language,[20] Ukrainian-language,[21] [22] and English-language outlets.[23] Trencsényi views the Orban regime as similar to Horthy system and the Kádár system in that it also managed to win over a "silent majority".[24] Orban's "attack on CEU weaves together a complex web of antiliberal and neo-authoritarian political forces and ideological streams."[25] He is also critical of the technocratic considerations in the European project, which made "people feel overconfident, and neglect their duties, which are actually transnational duties."[26]

He is a co-organizer of the Invisible University for Ukraine.[27] [28]
