Viktor Orbán Predicts EU's Demise in 25 Years, Criticizes Current Leadership

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán delivered a stark prediction at the Tusnad Summer University, stating that the European Union will disappear in its current form within 25 years, replaced by a new world order centered in Asia. Orbán, addressing ethnic Hungarians, argued that the era of "Anglo-Saxon domination" is ending and that Asian nations will lead the international stage. He further called for a radical restructuring of the EU, including the abolition of the European Commission president position, which he deemed unnecessary. Orbán criticized the current EU leadership, suggesting that the bloc's problems began in 2014 under former Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and urged supporters to reform European institutions from within. He also emphasized the concept of cross-border ethnic unity, asserting that borders are for countries, not nations. In a separate critique, Orbán, speaking as the opposition leader, launched a strong attack on Hungary's current government, led by Péter Magyar. He accused the Tisza party of establishing an authoritarian regime, drawing parallels between Hungary's situation and Venezuela, albeit without its oil resources. Orbán alleged that the expropriation of political opponents and opaque legal procedures are reminiscent of South American communist systems. In response, Prime Minister Péter Magyar dismissed Orbán's comments as unproductive, stating it was "useless to deal with a collapsed and unsalvageable mafia boss."
