Former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, in his traditional speech in the Romanian city of Baile-Tushnad, quoted in Russian the title of Nikolai Chernyshevsky's novel "What to Do?".

According to RIA Novosti, the former head of the Hungarian government recalled the classics of Russian literature, thinking about how to create conditions for the citizens of his country to feel at home on their land.

According to Orban, currently the key decisions that determine the life of Hungarians are made outside the country — in Brussels, California or Poland. The politician also criticized the electorate of the Tisa party that won the election.

"The majority of Tisa voters are still in a state of economic euphoria, they think it will be even better. That they will work less and get more money. They think they're seeing reality, but they're actually watching a movie. They think the film is a documentary, but it's a fantasy," the former prime minister stated.

Earlier, EADaily reported that in Budapest, a man spat at the acting Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar (leader of Tisa), but he forgave the offender, blaming Viktor Orban for the incident.
