The good thing about the IMF is there is no European politics involved.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Our relations with the other powers of Europe have experienced no essential change since the last session.
Acknowledge that a more closely integrated Europe is no longer an unqualified American interest.
I did not dwell on the issue of Europe during either the 2001 or the 2005 campaigns - despite it being a pivotal personal concern and despite seeing it as something of a litmus test for liberal democracy.
The IMF and other multilateral institutions do not appear to have prevented nations from manipulating the value of their own currencies.
But such IMF pressure is very much helpful for me to push such a, you know, reform. So in this sense I think IMF is very much helpful for alien society.
There is no better protection against the euro crisis than successful structural reforms in southern Europe.
Without Greece, it is not possible to preserve the integrity of the European phenomenon.
Our policy is European and Euro-Atlantic integration. There is no substitute for NATO.
By the way, the European Union Member States together - even the euro area Member States together - are by far the biggest contributors to the IMF.
It is not in our interest to sign economic policy agreements with the IMF, as that unnecessarily limits the room to manoeuvre of... the Hungarian government, Hungarian parliament and lawmakers.
