Orbán Reaffirms Stance On Trump
On the topic of comments Prime Minister Viktor Orbán recently made about the US presidential race, Brazilian daily Folha de S. Paulo noted that the Hungarian prime minister had said that out of the two major candidates’ foreign policy plans, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s plan was better for the EU.

The paper said Orbán was asked by Brazilian Foreign Minister Jose Serra at a reception on Sunday whether he was supporting Trump. Orbán replied: “Yes, Trump’s foreign policy plan would be best for us.

The Democrats think the migrant inflow into Europe doesn’t need to be controlled and this is very dangerous.

Trump supports screening migrants. He is also against democracy promotion in other countries, and I agree with him on this.

” Asked whether the admission of migrants into the EU could solve its demographic problems, Orbán said “never”.

“They [migrants] could cause an even more serious problem by establishing parallel societies in Europe.”

Migrants have dif ferent cultural backgrounds and such parallel societies could destabilise European countries, the prime minister said.

“We would like the Hungarian people to remain ... an integrated society,” he added.
