Orban, who spoke Saturday to the Friends of Hungary Foundation, said Europe was trapped by "magic words" like multiculturalism and political correctness and weakened in the face of pressing issues like immigration. Hungary has recently seen a steep rise in the number of arriving migrants and refugees.
