Is Hungary’s populist era at an end as Orban drops in the polls?

There's been something of a right wing love-in in Hungary this week, as Budapest hosted a Conservative Political Action Conference - or CPAC - gathering of American and European populists and conservatives.

President Trump heaped praise on Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who's seen as a populist playbook for the White House.

Orban recently doubled down on his agenda - banning the capital’s Pride march and proposing a law that could shut down independent media.

But with his rival Peter Magyar surging in the polls - are those actions a sign of strength or weakness? We went to see how Hungary is faring after 15 years of Orban rule.
