Hungarian PM touts nationalist policy
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban
Budapest - ArabToday
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Friday endorsed a nationalist policy again, claiming globalism and political correctness were on the way out in both Western and Eastern Europe.
Orban made the statement when addressing Hungarians people in a state-of-the-nation report, which analyzed the past year and outlined the immediate future.
He spoke at length of the divide between supporters of globalism and the nationalist trends surfacing, citing Brexit and the United States presidential election, the Italian government crisis, and a referendum in Hungary when most voters rejected the admission of migrants.
People want to retain their own cultures, intellectual property, schools, and want security without the threat of terrorism which cannot be achieved as long as borders are open to whoever wants to move through Europe, he said.
Orban compared global economic life to allowing a fox into a henhouse to do business, and abdicating responsibility when the fox keeps winning.
Hungary, he said, was the first country to revolt back in 2010, when it ejected the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and introduced special taxes on banks and other measures that have resulted in growth over the past four years.
