Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban used a conference evaluating the country's EU presidency to launch fresh attacks on Brussels, reiterating his long-standing criticisms of the EU and Western liberalism.

The Hungarian Prime Minister said during a speech in Budapest that the EU's leaders are driving it into isolation. He also declared that the new US president and the EU's right-wing faction will dominate politics in the future.

Donald Trump's presidency in the United States will help set off a second wave of massive rightwing political change in Europe, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Monday, launching what he called an offensive to "occupy" Brussels.
