Orban “unacceptable” in Europe, says opposition Egyutt, Socialists
Change language:
Budapest (MTI) – Prime Minister Viktor Orban “did not come off well” in either of two recent debates focusing on Hungary — in the European Parliament and at a US House subcommittee hearing, the opposition Egyutt party said.
Orban was once again forced to defend his policies pursued since 2010, but it is clear that he has become “the lonely leader of Europe”, Nora Hajdu, the party’s foreign affairs spokesperson, told a press conference on Wednesday.
Both the issue of the death penalty and Hungary’s position on immigration would shock the EP and Orban has become a burden even on his own People’s Party, Hajdu said.
Orban’s remarks about Hungary being a homogeneous country just show that he is “either not familiar with Hungarian history or he is consciously misinterpreting it,” she added.
The opposition Socialists said it had become clear that Orban’s “xenophobic stance masked as a migration issue and his ideas on the death penalty are unaccaptable”.
