Orban: Hungary wants to beat 'genius Babis's' stellar employment record

Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Thursday praised his Czech counterpart, Andrej Babis, for his record in creating employment and he vowed to do even better. "It won't be easy," Orban told an international press conference. The Czech Republic "is lucky, a genius heads its government." Babis, he added, "is best economic politician in Europe." "The number of people who can work and want to work in Hungary could stabilise at 4.5-5 million in the long term, which is near full employment," Orban said, noting that there are 4.5 million Hungarians working today, up from 3.7 million in 2010.
