The Tucker Carlson Show
Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orban on USAID, Trump, Immigration, NATO, and the Russia/Ukraine War

And the public opinion said, 70% said, yes, you should change it. And they voted against it. So it's a problem of democracy. It's not just a problem of migration. It's not a problem of leadership. The whole structure and the system is under pressure at this moment.

Yes. But at the same time, don't forget that democracy is a word we use too much, probably too often without understanding exactly what does it mean. There are many theories, as you know. But the most relevant one is the Greek origin of the understanding of democracy. They said democracy means two things at the same time. Participation of the people, involvement.

But the involvement of the people must be resulted in good governance. If the involvement of the people, the public opinion, does not result in good governance, it's anarchy. It's not democracy. So democracy means participation of the people by their voting in the major decisions, and the outcome must be a good governance. It's one of them is lacking. It's not democracy.

And now in Europe, we are heading to a position when the people has a chance to vote, but there is no chance to get good governance. So we are moving, brother, towards a kind of anarchical public life in West Europe.

The Tucker Carlson Show

The German economy is part of the European bomb because we have the single market. And the single market as such is in trouble. I'm in international politics for more than 30 years. And I do remember then 30 years ago, the biggest economy of the world was the European Union. And now it's only number three. And if you look at the top five economies of the world, there is no European among them.

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.
