The West has begun a new “cold war” due to the crisis of the Western-centric order, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said. The content of his speech is published by Mandiner.
According to the Hungarian prime minister, the neoliberal model of globalization is becoming a thing of the past, and as a result, the United States has new rivals – partly because the liberal model has allowed such states as China to become stronger. Among the events leading to the crisis of the neoliberal order, Orban named the migration crisis, Brexit, Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election and the coronavirus pandemic, making it clear that the current Western centrism cannot be sustained as Western competitors have grown stronger, not least because of trade liberalization and economy,” said the Hungarian prime minister.
In his opinion, Budapest should stand aside from the Cold War and maintain relations with its Western competitors. and claim the role of regional leader.
