Populist leaders and their radical policies attract the interest of the media across borders. The aim of the current article is to uncover whether interviews centered on one populist leader, but involving interviewers located in different European countries, lead to the same production of populist equivocation across the EU. In addition, two types of journalistic elements that can explain potential differences are investigated: the broad interactions between the media and politicians in a given country, or the reporters belonging to a specific media segment such as the tabloid press or public broadcasters. The research is based on interviews given by Viktor Orbán during the 2019 EU election campaign. Critical discourse analysis is carried out to investigate the equivocal populist narratives produced.

在 2019 年欧盟选举期间采访右翼民粹主义领导人：冲突局势和超越国界的模棱两可

民粹主义领导人及其激进政策吸引了跨国媒体的兴趣。本文的目的是揭示采访以一位民粹主义领导人为中心，但涉及位于不同欧洲国家的采访者，是否会导致整个欧盟的民粹主义模棱两可。此外，调查了两种可以解释潜在差异的新闻要素：特定国家的媒体与政治家之间的广泛互动，或者属于特定媒体部门（如小报或公共广播公司）的记者。该研究基于 Viktor Orbán 在 2019 年欧盟竞选期间的采访。进行批判性话语分析以调查产生的模棱两可的民粹主义叙事。
