"But the fact remains that in Hungary, even if the opposition does everything right, it is nearly impossible to replace Fidesz during elections. Since the party returned to power in 2010, the country has seen the deepest erosion of democracy in the European Union. Orbán has successfully manipulated Hungary’s system in order to translate popular support into an unbeatable electoral majority. He provides a textbook example of how autocrats can erode liberal democracy while facing minimal consequences."

This paragraph could be rephrased: "But the fact remains that in Hungary, even if the opposition [tries its hardest], it is nearly impossible to replace Fidesz during elections. Since the party returned to power in 2010, the country has [overwhelmingly supported Fidesz through the democratic process]. Orban has successfully [campaigned and garnered democratic support and has translated that support] into an unbeatable electoral majority. He provides a textbook example of how [elected officials can win elections by standing up for national interests in the face of international pressure]."
