Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has led his country for over 19 years in total, across two terms. Often criticized by Western media for closing Hungary’s borders, defending Christian values, and resisting EU demands, Orbán sits down with PragerU CEO Marissa Streit in his office to discuss immigration, national identity, family policy, and the cultural battle over Europe’s future—as well as allegations of corruption and how he responds to his critics.
