So European Union, economically, it's not a success story. And the success of European Union will always strongly link to the success of German economy. And now they are suffering and we are suffering. And the reason is very simple. There was a well-functioning, quite well-functioning structural model of the German economy and the European economy.

That was cheap Russian energy and well-advanced European technology come together and we are competitive. But now after the war, we isolated ourselves from the cheap energy, and there is no new strategy how we could be competitive. So we have a lost strategy, but we don't have a new one. There's no replacement for the old one. So now the problem is that we don't have compass where we should move.

So we are just managing the daily work, but there is no real strategy what is the future of the European economy. No answer of that. That's the reason why China, United States, because President Trump is back, obviously is in a far better position than we are. Lack of leadership, lack of ideas, lack of visions. That's why we suffer.

Hungary is a small country. Ten million. Elephants is a different game. It's another league. That's how they live. If it would have happened with Hungary, there would be some noise, no question of that. But, you know, it's Germany.

So I think the basic reason is that in the last several decades, there was a strong alliance between the American liberal elite and the European liberal elite. And they agree always what is the issue and what is not the issue. If they decided that something is not an issue, it was not an issue. And the Germans were part of that kind of alliance. transatlantic liberal alliance.

And they were managed to stop all the voices which tried to raise the question, which is a serious one anyway. But anyway, it's not the only one. I do remember some other scandals as well. Beginning of the previous decade, it turned out that the United States, democratic government anyway, taped the Chancellor of Germany. And we were discussing it at the European Council meeting.

Sarkozy, who was the president of France at that time, said, guys, what a scandalous thing is that? We have to do that. The Germans said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Transatlantic creation is the most important thing we have to manage, not in that way, and so on. So that's an alliance between the transatlantic elites from America and the European Union.
