Hungary’s PM Orbán On Paks, Demos
On Hungary’s plans to upgrade the Paks nuclear plant with Russian involvement, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that other countries had been welcome to bid for the project but it was only Russia that could meet all security, ownership and financial criteria.

“That’s why they won”. On the subject of domestic issues, Orbán voiced tolerance for recent demonstrations and said that though his party had won a supermajority in Hungary’s parliamentary, European and local elections, and it considered it an obligation to “talk to each other”.

Orbán said that young people dissatisfied with government policies were also disappointed with the political elite of the 25 years since the change in political system.

He suggested a comparison between their position and the motivation of the founders of his Fidesz party, who, back in 1988, “also wanted to expel the whole communist regime”.
