Mr Orban we've got a a commission which is taking um taking steps to uh obviously lead Europe over the next few years do you think you're going to be at odds with the commission as much as you were with the old one the the core of the difficult is the following um the previous commission proved to be very much unsuccessful in terms of competitiveness of European economy migration stopping the war so generally speaking it was a unsuccessful commission but now the Brazilian Elite decided to create the same commission basically so I have great belief that persons can change and then able to deliver better performances than they have done previously but it's difficult to think so so I try to support the commission as much as we can but being a rational man I think uh we neglected the desire of the voters for Change and the same establishment still in position in Brussels and it's not good and just one more question what do you think the biggest challenges are for Europe are they coming from China are they coming from potentially the results of the US election or are they coming from Russia sir I think that we have uh we have three major challenges the first is the war question of war or peace the second is competitiveness so the the the prime target of the Hungarian presidency is to put together a new pact of competitiveness for the whole European Union because without having a new pack we we cannot be competitive neither to United States neither to China nor to the West neither to the East and the third one is migration because migration is a disintegration factor in the European politics uh the PCT which was forced on us a year ago failed so it's obvious that we have to create a new regulation uh without having a new regulation migration will uh these integrate the European Union if you look back from 2014 period till now the this period is a disintegration process period of European Union so we have to stop it that that's how I see but the first is War and Peace
