Viktor Orban is harshly criticizing European leaders, who he believes have driven the European Union into bankruptcy. “Mountains of debt, masses of migrants, violence in the streets, the ever-darkening shadows of war, mass layoffs, exploding utility costs, millions of households driven into financial dead ends, and Brussels bureaucrats running around like headless chickens. Like a bad GPS: constantly recalculating, but never arriving at the destination,” he stated.
According to Viktor Orbán, personal courage is the most important thing for Hungarians right now, distinguishing three types: intellectual, political, and spiritual courage. Regarding the first, he wrote:

Rod Dreher asks, "I don’t understand why the government doesn’t deploy the army and shoot rioters until they stop. Philippe Lemoine, a Frenchman, says it’s not that simple."
Excerpt:
"We have let things rot for so long that, at this point, relying primarily on force to restore order would require a degree of violence far greater than what people realize and what is politically feasible.
It's possible to contain a riot using only moderate force when the number of police officers is high relative to the number of rioters, but when riots are so widespread and involve so many people because you have allowed this kind of things to happen for so long, that's just not possible and you have to use extreme violence to make up for the lack of manpower.
I know people on the Internet will say that it doesn't matter and that we should just do it, but the reality is that most of the people in charge are not prepared to use that kind of force and neither would most ordinary people if they saw ...
Even Marine Le Pen’s recent statements track this line: personal Islamic practice is compatible with the Republic; replacing French law with Sharia is not. French Muslims who are simply citizens practicing their "religious faith" “have no reason to worry” about a Le Pen election victory.
But can one be a practicing Muslim without demanding and practicing Sharia?
