Hungary can be a winner of the new world order shaped by Trump and allies, says government
Change language:
The transformation of the global order presents “a historic opportunity for Hungary”, the prime minister’s political director told a conference organised by the Hungarian Atlantic Council in Budapest on Thursday. Balázs Orbán said the world had left behind the “neoliberal world order” and entered a multipolar one.
New world order
Balázs Orbán said the world had left behind the “neoliberal world order” and entered a multipolar one. He said that whereas over the last 100 years Hungary had lost out on every major shift in the global order, it now had a chance to influence “what the new world will be like”. The new global order, he said, would be shaped by “unpredictability, adding that the world had to adapt to constant change. He said Hungarian diplomacy would also adopt a “new posture” defined by the principle of “Hungary first”.
Orbán said that although this new approach was “unfathomable” compared to the previous liberal world order, ongoing changes had to be viewed through the lens of the new world order. He said that with Donald Trump’s election, the United States had also joined the ranks of countries that wanted to change the status quo, adding that “the defenders of the previous liberal world order have retreated to Europe”.
Pointing out certain anomalies which, he said, stemmed from the “internal contradictions” of the neoliberal world order, Orbán added that the neoliberal approach had ignored the link between economic performance and the nation. This led to developed countries seeing their industry decline and their production outsourced to other parts of the world based on the belief that the future lay in services and that industry was obsolete.
We must develop our industry
He said, however, that the need for an industrial sector was also a question of national sovereignty, adding that this was the reason why Hungary had increased its industrial output by 20 percent since 2010. He said liberal foreign policies were based on values and intentions, but they had failed to take into consideration their consequences. This approach to foreign policy, he said, weakened the West and strengthened its opponents.
Though moral aspects mattered, he said, it was also important to consider interests, adding that Trump was adjusting principles to interests, rather than the other way round. Orbán said migration was another contradiction of the liberal world order, explaining that it undermined the functioning of the state and society.
The “new” Golden Age of Hungary.
LOOK around us Hungarians – what have we DELIVERED – to live in, survive in – as a country by the Orban led Fidesz Government ?
Seats are booked out at the COMEDY Theatre in Budapest, for the immediate FUTURE in time, at least till the DOWNFALL of the Orban – Fidesz Government.
Could in fact run longer than Agatha Christie’s – The Mousetrap – did in the West End of London ///
God PLEASE FORBID.
Such a beautiful and historic theatre is the Comedy Theatre in Budapest, but in the case of this “hypothetical” production – an INSULT to its reputation.
Germany is back! A great nation. Also military. Biggest and strongest in Europe.
Not even the european right wing is following the hungarian recipe. How do these piliticians think its way is the right one when hungary is not doing well in any way?
I see that Hungarians live really well. Certainly well fed, drink often, smoke, go out a lot, all expensive life styles
And travel…work short number of hours per year. Don’t seem to lack for $ spent on themselves, clothes, hair etc. So it seems that whatever the politics that is keeping freeloaders out of the country, it is working. I hear lots of smart people who are well respected on the world stage saying that Orban has been doing the right thing to protect his culture…and that so many have made errors that are impossible to turn back..w. out the balls that Trump is showing to rid his country of money sucking useless criminals who snuck into the states, made cash in devious ways, did not contribute taxes or volunteer work AND commited offenses against proper citizens. So be glad Hungary that U are saved from such bad faith interlopers.
