Election 2022 - Orban: 'Hungary cannot turn back'

Referring to the election campaign, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in an interview with public broadcaster Kossuth Radio on Friday that "Hungary is going forward, not backwards". "We need must learn from what happened up to 2010 and [remember] just how much effort it took to put things right," Orban said. "And given our success, we cannot afford to go back to those problems." "In 2010, Hungary was bankrupt; it had been ruined and bled dry," he said. "In the past 12 years, Hungary has worked very hard to correct the mistakes and sins of the previous left-wing governments," he said.
