Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orbán has recently made headlines with his announcement of an offensive to 'occupy' the European Parliament, in response to the return of US President Donald Trump to the White House.
Orbán, known for his nationalist views and criticism of European Union sanctions on Russia, has maintained close ties with Moscow despite its actions in Ukraine. He is considered one of the leading figures among Europe's populist leaders who have expressed support for Trump.
Orbán's statement, 'Only a few hours and even the sun will shine differently in Brussels. A new president in the US, a great patriotic faction in Brussels… the grand offensive can begin,' reflects his anticipation of a shift in the political landscape following Trump's presidency.
He further declared, 'I hereby launch the second phase of the offensive that aims to occupy Brussels,' suggesting that Trump's leadership will fuel a resurgence of right-wing ideologies in Europe, as reported by Reuters.
