Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán: Now it's our time to shine! It's our chance to take Brussels!
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stirred attention after sending a congratulatory message to President Donald Trump on his inauguration. In celebrating Trump's presidency, Orbán assertively declared, "Now it's our turn to shine! It's our turn to take over Brussels!"
Orbán sees Trump’s win as a victory for democracy, in stark contrast to the erosion of democratic values within the European Union. He criticized the EU for being dominated by unelected bureaucrats who impose policies against the wishes of EU citizens, thereby undermining national sovereignty and democratic rule.
