Fidesz’s foreign policy remains committed to supporting Europe’s patriotic movement, Viktor Orbán, the opposition party’s leader, said in Brussels on Wednesday, adding that their goal of reforming Brussels was unchanged.
Speaking at an international press conference ahead of Thursday’s Patriots for Europe meeting, Orbán insisted that Fidesz’s election defeat did not alter “the historic, defining fact that patriotic political organisations, communities, and parties continue to advance across Europe”. “No single election, no single electoral defeat can reverse this historical process,” he said, adding that across Europe, this was expected to remain the case, and that “anti-migration and sovereigntist political forces will continue to strengthen in the months and years ahead“.
He argued this trend could only be halted if the European Union’s leadership delivered successes. Instead, he said, it had faced repeated failures on security, the Russia-Ukraine war, competitiveness and migration.
