Absztrakt 

The paper focuses on the question of what it means both conceptually and practically to talk about counter right-wing extremism measures in an illiberal regime while the dominant political ideology is very close to those of right-wing extremists. Through a qualitative analysis of policies in the Hungarian context, the paper explores both the political and the policy scene to understand how the political context and counter-RWE measures interact. It was found that extremist groups are less interested in engaging in violent action, however, it is not due to effective policies but the manipulating political strategy of the incumbent party.
