The EU must change in order for Europe to remain the best place in the world, said PM Viktor Orban on the second day of a two-day EPP congress in Malta.
According to PM Orban, along the European change, the European People’s Party (EPP) has to be changed, as well, to lead to European change, and now it has taken a step in that direction. The party must accept and take up the intellectual and political struggle with the left, and must not be afraid of criticisms from the left when they call its members “populist”, because we know that we are not, he said. The audience greeted his words with enthusiastic applause.
Mr. Orbán stressed that the EPP must be Europe’s flagship, and a party formation in which there is room for national pride and Christian identity. He observed that the left has a clear action plan for the transformation of Europe, but its recipe would be fatal for the continent.
