Hungary, on the other hand, is perhaps a more arguable case.
Hungary, at least in my understanding, has a large governing party which has very strong ties and control over the media and whose two main opponents are an opposition that has been utterly discredited and is incapable of winning, along with a literal neo-Nazi party. I don't know what the situation is on the local level, or how much democracy there might be there, but that really doesn't seem healthy.
"The opposition that can defeat the government doesn't exist" and "the government has very strong ties to the media" aren't necessarily crises in and of themselves (Chretien-era Canada and Berlusconi-era Italy were both clearly democracies, for instance), but put together it seems rather difficult to suggest plausibly how Hungarians might rid themselves of their current government, even if the mechanisms exist on paper. That situation is reminiscent of, say, Chavez-era Venezuela.
I'd also say "illiberal democracy" (which I think is a phrase Orban uses) is a contradiction in terms. You can have dictatorship with democratic elements, but it isn't really democracy.
