In 2019 Hungary elected Viktor Orban’s government and became the first EU country to be downgraded by the Freedom House organization to a “partly free” country. The organization labeled it a hybrid authoritarian regime that maintains formal democratic institutions but fails to meet the minimal standards for democracy.

Yes, if they are causing military, economic, humanitarian, medical or ethical harm outside of their own territory.
@9FNVMTP2yrs2Y
Up to own country not relevant
@B3H865Q1mo1MO
Yes but don't overly sanction, just make it clear that those governments are bad and remove some privileges.
@B386GW81mo1MO
No because most EU countries use the Euro so if you sanction an EU state that uses the Euro as well as you you do then you're doing damage to your own economy as the Euro using nations have a "shared economy" where if inflation in one Euro using state goes up, then all the other countries that use the Euro will also see an increase in inflation.
@thelouisharding 4mos4MO
No, as it would encourage this country to move further away from the EU, and closer to our opponents.
@9992HTR 9mos9MO
No, sanctions should be illegal under international law and only hurt the people, but those countries should receive diplomatic pressure to modernize.
@9QN46749mos9MO
Depends on their actions within the wider world. Authoritarian regimes will always find ways round sanctions.
@9QM3DGY9mos9MO
It depends on the exact circumstances. Authoritarian government's can serve citizens better than some democracies.
