Professor at Vrije Universiteit Brussel working on far right, populism, discourse.

Viktor Orbán’s defeat was not a victory over populism but a populist victory
Péter Magyar's defeat of Viktor Orbán in Hungary was not a victory over populism, but an expression of its own form of democratic populism.
