I think with Trump in the US and Netanyahu in Israel bringing so much attention to far right extremism and blasting it all over the internet and showing how absolutely disgusting it can get has opened some peoples eyes. I remember seeing the election in Canada do a complete 180 after it became apparent what was happening with authoritarianism worldwide.

One can always say "laws are pointless if nobody follows them so why bother passing laws?"

It's still worth doing.

These are just the first steps. So far the new gov seems to actually want to follow through with their promises. Which in the longer turn includes changing the election system to avoid a single party 2/3 majority being normal. And other checks and balances will need to be introduced since the fidesz gov gutted and changed everything to favor themselves. So far I am hopeful. We will have to see where the Tisza gov will lead us in the longer term.
