Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is optimistic about a “new golden age” for Hungary with Trump in the White House, while criticizing Democrats and George Soros, vowing to remove his organizations from Hungary.
“Everything will change, a different day will dawn over the Western world on Tuesday morning. The failed democratic governance in America will come to an end,” Magyar Nemzet reported Viktor Orbán as saying in his first interview this year with Kossuth Radio’s Good Morning Hungary! program.
Referring to the Democratic Party and George Soros as “a bunch of idiots,” Orbán accused the Democrats of trying to impose their beliefs on the world, particularly on migration, gender, and wa.
He also criticized U.S. Ambassador to Hungary David Pressman, labeling him a “bully” who aimed to “push Hungary into the globalist canon.”
“It is not in the Hungarian people’s thinking that a tyrant comes here and says that people from the other side of the world should come here and populate this region before us,” the Hungarian prime minister remarked, expressing his refusal to meet Pressman during his tenure.
Regarding Antal Rogán’s inclusion on the U.S. sanctions list, Orbán suggested that it actually bolstered Rogán’s position in the government, indicating his effectiveness. Orbán highlighted Rogán’s role related to Hungary’s “intelligence/secret services” despite his official title as minister of the Prime Minister’s Cabinet Office.
Orbán anticipates a “new golden age” for Hungary under a Trump administration, emphasizing his determination to send George Soros back to the U.S. and eradicate the “Soros network from Hungary” starting in the spring. He hopes that “patriots elsewhere” will follow suit.
“It must be shown that the Soros network’s presence in Europe contradicts the interests of the people,” he emphasized, asserting that Brussels is under the influence of George Soros and alleging corruption.
Describing a “new era in Brussels,” the prime minister called for Brussels to “sober up” and “adapt.”
While praising Hungary’s economic policies, Orbán cautioned that their success hinges on avoiding escalations in war and halting sanctions policies. He stressed the necessity of robust protective measures.
“Without Western money, there is no Ukraine. Ukrainian agriculture clashes with European agriculture, and its economy does not fit into the European system,” he noted.
Orbán promised job opportunities and wage growth for all, foreseeing a stronger middle class in 2025. He highlighted Hungary’s financial reserves to stimulate consumption, noting that Hungarians save more of their income on average compared to the EU average.
Energy remains a concern, particularly with ongoing sanctions and the delayed completion of Hungary’s nuclear plant expansion (Paks II) by 2030-2032. Therefore, maintaining the TurkStream pipeline’s operation is crucial.
