Hungarian PM Viktor Orban claims Trump's presidency will trigger a rightwing shift in Europe, aiming to 'occupy' Brussels with European patriots.
BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Donald Trump's presidency in the United States will help set off a second wave of massive rightwing political change in Europe, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Monday, launching what he called an offensive to "occupy" Brussels.
"Only a few hours and even the Sun will shine differently in Brussels. A new President in the US, a large faction of Patriots in Brussels, great enthusiasm," Orban told a conference in a speech. "So the great attack can start. Hereby I launch the second phase of the offensive that aims to occupy Brussels."
