Hungary’s Orban defends ‘cultural standpoint’ in race remark row


Vienna (AFP) – During a press conference in Vienna, Hungary’s nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban defends his weekend comments against creating “peoples of mixed-race”, saying they represented a “cultural, civilisational standpoint”. “It happens sometimes that I speak in a way that can be misunderstood… the position that I represent is a cultural, civilisational standpoint,” Orban tells a joint press conference with Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer during a one-day visit to neighbouring Austria.
