Donald Trump’s election victory marks ‘the end of liberal non-democracy’, declares Hungary’s prime minister
< < Go Back
The outcome of the US presidential election marks the end of a period of ‘liberal non-democracy’ that has been mainstream for the past two decades, according to the Hungarian Prime Minister.
Having already pledged his allegiance to Donald Trump, Viktor Orban has described today as the ‘second day of a historic event’ in which the West has ‘successfully broken free from the confines of an ideology’.
The conservative leader said the Republican winning the race to the White House was the catalyst for society to ‘return to real democracy.
In July he became the first European head of state to express a clear preference for Republican Donald Trump, who bagged a surprise victory over his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton yesterday.
The pair have plenty in common with both having been criticised for their friendly approach towards Russia.
Mr Orban said: ‘This is the second day of a historic event, in which Western civilisation appears to successfully break free from the confines of an ideology.
‘We are living in the days where what we call liberal non-democracy – in which we lived for the past 20 years – ends, and we can return to real democracy.’
