After the resounding victory of Donald Trump, Viktor Orbán could be the comeback of the year in European politics, who will be able to fulfill the role of mediator between the United States and the EU.
One of the politicians whose relative power in the European Union has increased due to the victory of Donald Trump is the host of the Budapest summit, Viktor Orbán, Süddeutsche Zeitung reports .
The German paper quotes a Brussels official as saying,
Trump's triumph is also the Hungarian Prime Minister's triumph. Viktor Orbán is the comeback of the year.
The author believes that until now Viktor Orbán was considered an outsider among his EU colleagues, but there is no other European head of state or government whom Trump has praised as many times as him. He added that Viktor Orbán's friendship with Trump makes him suitable for an unofficial European position that must be filled urgently:
intermediary between Europeans and Americans.
