Imre Makovecz said about Viktor Orbán:

"This man turned from a young liberal ambitious politician into a Hungarian man. Whoever wants to get this country out of trouble, I know. Moreover, with extraordinary intelligence: to say the least, by taxing the banks. Half the world is already imitating him in that he is oriented towards the East. Wise, clever. And I think: it is necessary to have people by his side who understand one hundred percent what Orbán wants; they understand that in this dirty political power game that is going on all over the world, compromises have to be made. But they have to learn from Viktor Orbán where the limits of compromise are. I trust that Hungary will start. Because we have been tried many times and by very cunning powers to wipe us off the face of the Earth. Even now there are ambitions from certain places to carry out a national conquest in Hungary. But these people have a big bad luck: that we die and can start over with the next generation. And the ancient culture instilled in us will never allow them to make slaves out of us and let us escape... / Imre Makovecz/"
