Hungary is not isolated

Gabor Furesz, chairman of Szazadveg's board of trustees, highlighted the results of the Project Europe research:

the figures show that Hungary is not isolated on the big issues.

The European political elite and the European electorate have radically divergent views on almost every issue.
He believes that the European Union is nothing other than an empire-like construction, coated in democracy syrup, and that the EU's transformation into an actual federal state will remain a dream, because while the United States has been functioning as such for hundreds of years, in Europe, with its multitude of individual nations and states, this is nearly impossible to achieve.
People in every country except Portugal have a negative opinion of the migration situation, with the majority saying that crime and religious conflicts have increased and their sense of security has decreased, leading them to oppose the migration pact and to consider protection of the borders key in reducing immigration.
