As a patriotic government takes power in the United States, Brussels continues “under occupation by a left-wing transatlantic oligarchy” lamented the prime minister. He dismissed accusations that his government has been backtracking on democracy and the rule of law as orchestrated attacks. “by the liberal united front financed by George Soros.” Orban previously accused the Hungarian-born billionaire of interfering in EU politics.
The balance of economic power is shifting toward Asia and Europe’s nations must adapt, Orban said. But Brussels and liberal-minded politicians have ignored the changes and undermined EU members with “Capitalism woke up” that focuses on ideological objectives at the expense of competitiveness, Orban said.

The alliance emerged as the third largest in the EU legislature, after the EPP Group, led by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (P&S).
