Hungarian Party DK Frowns On PM For Backing Trump
- 26 Jul 2016 9:00 AM
Donald Trump, if elected US president, would bring about destabilisation in Europe, Attila Ara-Kovács, of the leftist opposition Democratic Coalition (DK), said. The head of DK’s foreign affairs cabinet referred to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Saturday “coming out” as a Trump supporter, and said the move was “not surprising”.
Orbán’s ruling Fidesz has suggested that “what Trump says, Orbán has been voicing for 15 years”, he said.
Ara-Kovács added that Hillary Clinton’s victory, on the other hand, would be “equal to a major disaster” for ruling Fidesz, noting that the Democrat candidate had earlier criticised that party’s policies.
