<\/p>\nHungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stated that the real threat to Europe is economic stagnation. He emphasized that the EU is stronger than Russia – in terms of population, GDP, and military spending.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n, when asked about Russia, indicated "why are we afraid," insisting that the EU is "stronger than them," The Guardian reports, writes UNN.<\/p>\n
on the sidelines of the summit in Copenhagen, Orb\u00e1n approached a Polish group of journalists, where he was asked a simple question: "Who [poses] the main threat to Europe?". Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, present nearby, quickly understood what was happening and warned him: "This is a provocation."<\/p>\n
But Orb\u00e1n reportedly remained calm and replied: "The real danger? Economic stagnation and loss of competitiveness."<\/p>\n
He was asked a clarifying question: "Not Russia?".<\/p>\n
"We are stronger than Russia. Make some comparisons and back up your opinion with facts. We have over 400 million people, Russia has about 130. Look at how [large] the European GDP is. Russia is [small] like that. All of us together, 27 countries, spend more on military expenditures than the Russians. So why are we afraid? We are stronger than them," Orb\u00e1n replied.<\/p>\n
"The question is whether we have the leadership to unite and defend our interests together. In any case, that's what we have to do," Orb\u00e1n said.<\/p>\n
