Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that since the new US president took office, Hungary is no longer isolated, but has returned to the mainstream of history. "We are the majority in the Western world," he said.
"Donald Trump is taking exactly the same measures that we have already taken and because of which the left and Brussels were continuously trying to isolate Hungary," the prime minister said in an interview with public radio on Friday. Now that Trump has taken these measures, "we can safely say that Hungary, which they tried to isolate and pushed to one side, is no longer sidelined, we are now the mainstream," PM Orbán said.
The prime minister added, however, that "the strange thing" was that "even though we are the majority, it is still necessary to rebel".
Although change had taken place in Washington, he said, it had not in Brussels, and there was still work to be done there, "otherwise Brussels will force on us the things that the US president is currently abolishing".
