Orban: Pandemics and migration to define next decade

Pandemics and migration will have a serious impact on European Christian democracy in the coming decade, Prime Minister Viktor Orban told Croatian daily Glas koncila in an interview published on Thursday. Countries that fail to protect themselves, he said, would be unrecognisable in 20 years' time. "Swimming in multicultural currents involves losing everything that is important in life." Westerners, he insisted, were content to live in a post-national, post-Christian world and "want us to do the same". But a counterbalance of regional cooperation was needed, he said, to protect national, Christian cultures.
