Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that improving the demographic situation in Europe is one of the primary goals of Hungary’s upcoming EU presidency.
Speaking in Berlin on Friday after talks with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, the prime minister said he wanted governments to be able to help one another in increasing family support. “Migration will certainly be among the topics, and all efforts will be made to ensure that Europe continues to belong to Europeans,” he added. In response to a question concerning whether Hungary would be able to take steps in connection with gender issues, PM Orbán said that “the entire gender silliness” which “upsets” the traditional European order of cohabitation and education of children is not expressly included in the Hungarian presidency’s programme. “We do not want to deal with it, we do not even understand exactly what it is, we have a life and we want to live the same way as we have lived so far,” he added.
