In his annual assessment speech at Várkert Bazár, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán declared the 21st century as a time of humiliation for Europe, criticizing the EU's influence and asserting Hungary's potential for recovery. He claimed that Hungary has only partially succeeded in removing foreign influence, particularly from Brussels, and emphasized the need for special taxes on large businesses to fund welfare measures.
