Orban: 'Era of liberal democracy is over'

Prime Minister Viktor Orban, in his inaugural address to parliament on Thursday, said: "The era of liberal democracy is over." "In place of the tinkering of liberal democracy that has run aground, we will build a Christian democracy of the 21st-century which guarantees human dignity, freedom and security, protects gender equality, the traditional family model, holds back anti-Semitism, protects our Christian culture and gives our nation a chance to survive and prosper," Orban said, referring to "Hungary's response to a changed world". "I know that many will consider it impossible, but I think it is achievable for Hungary to be among the top five European countries to live and work in by 2030," he said. "[T]he fact that we made clear the era of liberal democracy is over has contributed to our success,"
