Hungarian parties comment on Trump’s inauguration
Budapest (MTI) – The opposition LMP party on Friday said that “political earthquakes” such as the inauguration of Donald Trump as the president of the United States would always challenge citizens to make a choice.
“People should either choose to favour the elite’s fight disguised as anti-elite efforts or support advocates of an ideology promoting fundamental changes in politics and the economy,” the party’s co-chair said in a statement.
Bernadett Szél said it is in everybody’s interest that in Hungary that latter should ensue.
Trump ‘heralds new era’, says Fidesz
The inauguration of Donald Trump as US president “heralds a new era, in which the dictatorship of political correctness is replaced by straightforward speech, and decisions are based on a sober mind rather than ideologies,” the ruling Fidesz party said on Friday.
The United States is Hungary’s ally, with close and important cooperation in economic and security matters, Fidesz said in a statement.
Further, the two countries are connected by shared values, such as freedom, human dignity and respect for courage, it said.
Fidesz wished the 45th US president much success and good health for the forthcoming four years.
