Justice Minister: Europe Can Only Be Reformed If Conservatives Dominate

MTI-Hungary Today 2021.11.30.

Surveys show that the elite is now too far removed from the European people and there is a need for conservative policies, Varga told a roundtable discussion held as part of the ongoing conference on the future of Europe.

She said a new European conservative movement was taking shape, adding that a victory for the current Hungarian government in the 2022 election would reinforce conservative politics, giving “a rare opportunity to the whole of Europe”.
