He has curtailed judicial independence, controlled media, and opposed immigration. Orban built a fence on the Hungarian border to keep out migrants during the 2015 crisis. He has clashed repeatedly with the European Union over rule of law issues. Orban presents himself as the defender of Christian Europe against Muslim immigration and liberal values. His model has influenced right wing movements across Europe.
