European Policy Mistakes Could Make This Century an Age of Humiliation, Hungarian Prime Minister Warns

Orbán: This Century May Become Europe's "Century of Shame"

Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán said on Saturday that due to Europe's wrong policies suffocating the economy, if the current trend continues, this century may become Europe's "century of shame."

In his annual summary speech, he said, "If we continue as we are now, this century will be a century of shame for Europe. The world has begun a new industrial revolution, and Europe cannot participate in it... The reason is high energy costs and persistent, excessive ideological regulation that is suffocating the economy."

Orbán pointed out that since the invention of the steam engine, Europe will no longer be the force shaping the global economy, but rather a "victim of global economic transformation."
