VIKTOR ORBAN said on Monday the main task of his new government will be to preserve Hungary's security and Christian culture, sticking to his-
Nationalist policy to keep out migrants and fend off what he calls foreign meddling.
The right-wing prime minster, 54, was re-elected for a third straight term in an election last month after a strong anti-immigration message landed a landslide victory.
One of the most vociferous opponents of immigration into Europe by mainly Muslim people fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East and Africa, Orban's campaign - helped by his party's media dominance - resonated with large swathes of the electorate, particularly in rural areas.
His Fidesz party now holds 133 of 199 seats in new parliament that will enable Fidesz to pass any laws, even those that require the support of two-thirds of the vote.
''The main task of the new government will be to preserve Hungary's security and Christian culture,'' Orban told a news conference after he was asked by the president to form a new government.
In a radio interview on Friday, Orban said his government was building a ''Christian democracy''.
Orban has accused non-governmental organizations funded by Budapest-born Billionaire George Soros of political meddling and actively supporting migration.
Soros has said the attacks against him were ''lies and distortions'' and were designed to create a false external enemy.[Agencies]
