Hungary’s Prime Minister has congratulated Donald Trump on his victory in the US presidential election: “What a great news. Democracy is still alive”, Viktor Orbán posted on his official Facebook page. Previously it was subsequently reported both domestically and internationally that the Hungarian Premier had become the world’s first incumbent leader to endorse Donald Trump’s presidential bid. (However, later Viktor Orbán’s press chief denied that claim.)
Congratulations.
What a great news. Democracy is still alive.

Hungary is open to cooperation”, Szijjártó underlined.
