"History sometimes repeats itself. Fortunately, what was first a tragedy, is at best a comedy on the second occasion," Orban told supporters in a speech marking the anniversary of Hungary's failed 1956 uprising against Soviet rule. Orban has also drawn criticism from the U.S. and EU allies for shaking hands with Russian President Vladimir Putin during a summit in China last week.
"Moscow was beyond repair, but Brussels and the EU can still be fixed," Orban said, adding that current leaders of the bloc failed to protect Europe's safety, freedom and wellbeing.
