Ask Japan how they deal with immigration. Hungary has a right to determine their own immigration policies.

First time listened H.E. Viktor Orban speak and now I understand why the West dislikes him. I am impressed and little envious that the people of Hungary have a leader of such caliber. Congratulations to the Prime Minister for this interview and good luck in defending the national interest and independence of Hungary!

Victor Orban ....a very smart guy who knows how to defend his country interests !! ....to the very provocative and obsessive questions raised by the Bloomberg Editor-in- Chief he replay calmly and in an intelligent manner !

[missunderstood]

When you’re telling the truth, nothing is too hard to answer! Say what you mean and mean what you say! Bravo Orban👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I am very impressed how Mr. Orban held his own and demolished all the traps the interviewer has put in front of him. Very eloquent answers. He said aloud what the majority of people in Europe are thinking, but are afraid to say it publicly. Mr. Orban, you are a beacon of Europe and common sense. Bravo

[kensymons]

We need to stand side by side with Mr Orban . Not the war fools.

[pratahsinnetamby]

It's good to see strong leadership and opinion rather than puppets. I haven't had the privilege of listening to Viktor in lengthy discussion such as this but both his Foreign Minister have always impressed. This is a nation that has it's own thought-leadership.

Oh! and yes, the war must stop and the neutral buffer will be great.

[DrPlatoman]

very inteligent politician, very clear and honest on his values and his people’s interests

[Kounomura]

If we look at his charisma and popularity, then: ORBÁN IS A GURU.
If we look at his political skills, then: ORBÁN IS A GENIUS.
If we look at his work ethic: ORBÁN IS A GIANT.

What a strong, straightforward, patriotic Leader. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[johnwong]

The western press have always portrayed Orban as an autocrat who should not be in Europe because of his views and actons. This interview revealed to me a man who is intelligent and thoughtful., it has changed my opinion of the man. I will never listen to western media without a large pinch of salt again.

[edwinlemus]

VERY GOOD, H e answered every question with high marks.

[miroslavshatan]

Mr. Orban. Big respect for you. Best regards from Prague (I´m so proud that I have a hungarian blood too). Love you, Hungary.

[lisaisabella]

Always is a pleasure to listen a fair minded politician, who loves his Country, , and most of who they are who will never play the Oligarch plan of destruction of the whole World!
GOD BLESS HUNGARY AND THE TRUTH AND FAIRNESS. WISH OTHERS FALLOW HIS CURAGIOUS EXAMPLE FOR THEIR COUNTRY AND PEOPLE!

[koolkatfelix]

Superb Mr Orban! Straight & transparent to the point!
But the interviewer was trying to put words in the horse's mouth!
As usual MSM!

[w_yew]

Like he said, the US thought they are entitled to teach other nations how to live and what is right what is wrong.

[allenmouldey]

This is why this man has been successful in politics for so long. A great statesman with a strong character.

[nguoibantotnhat]

Huge respect to Mr. Orban, who always cares about what is good for his people, who always protects traditional values (family, gender...). That is why he is respected by both Christian and Muslim alike. He doesn't care if Biden called him a "thug" for that reason.
