"The document suggested that I should avoid mentioning "territorial or administrative areas that are non-existent in Romania", Orban said. Balance of power shifting to ChinaIn his address, Orban highlighted that the balance of power globally has shifted and the current global political trends. The prime minister continued to criticise EU sanctions, claiming it has led to rising energy prices and did little to weaken Russia. As his critics point out, the Hungarian prime minister tends to take credit favourable external developments outside his reach, while shifting the blame to external forces for some misguided policy actions.
