Figure this is as good a place as any to ask for anyone to point me in the right direction.

Anyone got any good links for any proper analysis of the Lex CEU that Hungary passed recently, I believe it was last Tuesday? I'm trying to get a better sense of just what Orbán is trying to get up to with his giant middle finger to the Soros-funded American University in Budapest/Central European University but all I'm really getting are (mostly) small blurbs that it happened, or coverage of the fact that there were protests against it, but not really much analysis of it...as a law besides it being an attempt by Orbán to "reform" the nation's university system and establish primacy for native Hungarian institutions and all that...but a lot of it feels very superficial in the English-language coverage I can find. And then there's the fact that the only Hungarian source I could handily find (444.hu) is so liberal (or at least anti-Fidesz) that most of its coverage doesn't go much beyond "It's bad because Orbán wants it" or (as in the case of what's on the front page there now) "look at how many people turned out in protest...and look at these awesome posters".

You could if anything think of it as being yet another thing against globalism. Soros is just another globalist money-maker with hands in Hungary and this could perhaps be to the determent of Hungarian primacy. That's probably what's going on.

If Orban is trying to ride the wave of populism then he doesn't need to do much. This way of conservative populism isn't necessarily 'deep'.
