Orban: Hungary needs united govt to face challenges

Hungary needs a united and competent government to halt immigration, which would irrevocably alter the country's character, Viktor Orban, Hungary's prime minister, said, adding that the only force able to form such a government after Sunday's election would be the incumbent Fidesz-Christian Democrat alliance. In an interview published in business weekly Figyelo on Thursday, Orban accused the global media, the European Union and "influential business interest groups" of attempting to help a weak coalition government come to power after the April 8 general election, one that Brussels can fully control. In a case like that, US billionaire George "Soros's people" would fill government posts as it happened in other countries, he said, referring to leaked recordings on Soros. They would occupy Hungary's energy sector and banking system, and Hungarians would pay the price, Orban said.
