Paid articlePaid
Quick Glance: Assam’s Struggling Anti-CAA Protests
- Protests erupted in Assam following the notification of rules for the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, led by students and political groups like the AASU and the Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti.
- Protests in Assam began as early as 2018 and gained nationwide significance in 2019, but the 2024 protests are weaker due to the declining relevance of ethnonationalist groups.
- Ethnonationalist groups in Assam, mainly representing the interests of Assamese Hindu elites, failed to revive the anti-CAA protests to the same extent as in 2019, as they were rooted in ethnonationalism rather than democratic values.
- Efforts by the AASU and other nationalist organizations in Assam to gain political power through anti-immigrant sentiment have faltered in the shadow of Hindutva, which dominates the state's anti-immigrant politics.

Quick Glance: Challenger to Orbán Announces New Political Alternative
- A rising challenger to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán mobilized tens of thousands of supporters in Budapest on Saturday, outlining a plan to unite the country and bring an end to the populist leader’s 14-year hold on power.

- Magyar, once a member of Orbán’s political circle, broke ranks and has gained a large following by portraying Hungary’s political life as taken over by oligarchs and anti-democratic elites.
- He advocates for a transformation of the country to rein in corruption and create a more pluralistic political system, criticizing Orbán’s government as a 'mafia' and calling for a moral, political, and economic change.
