Orban said that Europe too needs to create a network of national
intelligence agencies that ranks with the world's best.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Saturday said Donald Trump had
proposed security policies that Europe should take to heart to solve its own
security crisis which is rooted in uncontrolled immigration.
Speaking at a summer university in Baile Tusnad, Romania, the outspoken
Hungarian leader again tied increased security threats to increased migration
and cited Trump's proposals at the Republican National Convention to combat
terrorism.
Trump accepted the Republican nomination for president on Thursday with a
speech that outlined an increased intelligence effort, an end to a "failed
policy of nation-building and regime change" and a total suspension of
immigration from states "compromised by terrorism."
Orban sought to buttress his own security proposals with those points.
"I am not a Donald Trump campaigner," he said in the televised
speech. "I never thought I would ever entertain the thought that of the
open options he would be better for Europe and for Hungary.
"But I listened to the candidate and and I must tell you he made
three proposals to combat terrorism. And as a European I could have hardly
articulated better what Europe needs."
Orban said that Europe too needs to create a network of national
intelligence agencies that ranks with the world's best.
"The second thing, said this valiant American Presidential candidate, is to abandon the policy of exporting democracy," Ortban said. "I could not have said it more precisely."
Orban said Western countries acted recklessly to remove the undemocratic
but stable regimes in Libya, Syria and Iraq without guaranteeing stability in
the aftermath, exposing Europe to a mass wave of migration.
Worse, he said, instead of supporting the regimes that try to control the
civil-war-torn countries in North Africa and the Middle East, Europe criticises
them for democratic shortfalls.
"If we keep prioritising democracy over stability in regions where
we are unlikely to succeed with that, we will create instability, not
democracy. That is the big lesson with regard to the current events in Turkey,
too."
"Of course we are not indifferent to the quality of politics there,
or to human rights," Orban said. "But the top priority is for Turkey
to stay stable because if it destabvilises, tens of millions of people from
that region will flood Europe without any filter, control or obstacle." source link
