Orban: Hungary ready for civic set-up

Budapest, June 3 (MTI) – Hungary is nearing the stage at which its political and social structure is fit for ensuring long-term growth, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in an interview to Wednesday’s Napi Gazdasag daily. He said: “A civic set-up is on the way.”

On the topic of migration, the prime minister said that Hungary, in terms of its size and geographical situation, would be highly vulnerable were a mistake to be made in migration policy, and the consequences could be irreversible.

Speaking about multiculturalism, he said this is defined as the mixing of various civilizations and the co-existence of Islam, Asian religions and Christianity. “We’re going to do everything to make sure that Hungary escapes this,” he said, adding that Hungary is glad to receive investors, artists and scientists from non-Christian countries, “but we don’t want large masses of them to get mixed together.” “This co-existence in Europe doesn’t work,” Orban said.

Asked about whether he would appoint Antal Rogan, currently leader of the Fidesz parliamentary group, as his cabinet chief, the prime minister said he needs people who promote political work, and Rogan stands at the front of the queue among potential appointees.
