Boris Johnson "one of Europe's bravest politicians": Hungarian PM Orban

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is "one of Europe's bravest politicians" and the European Union should aim for strong strategic relations with Britain after it leaves the bloc, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Thursday. Orban, an anti-immigrant nationalist, has often clashed with EU authorities in Brussels over compliance with democracy standards but has never suggested Hungary should also depart the bloc, from which it receives major annual development funding. "I believe a generous and strategic cooperation is needed with the British in the coming period when they are no longer members of the EU," Orban told a news conference.
