Prime Minister Viktor Orban spoke about the European parliamentary elections, migration and social issues too on Kossuth Radio's programme on Friday.

Orban said that fresh blood is needed in the European Parliament, according to Kormany.hu. The Prime Minister said that “I see signs of exhaustion at the end of the parliamentary term”, but after next year’s elections to the EP there will be new MEPs, and “I believe that the quality of democracy will improve”.

Regarding the issue of the so-called “migrant visa”, he said that “it is rather funny” that a vote on an issue must repeated over and over again until the result seen by bureaucrats as the right one is finally achieved.

Orban said that the “Sargentini Report” has been used to attack Hungary, and “we’ve hit back just as hard as our attackers – or possibly even harder.” he confirmed that the Government will not tolerate anyone trying to destroy the country’s reputation and integrity, observing that “those who bite us will need strong teeth, because that is something which we shall not tolerate”.
