The Hungarian-American investor predicted Brexit will be “an immensely damaging process” and said Brussels would be making a huge mistake if it attempts to “punish” the UK for leaving.
In a landmark speech to the EU Commission’s flagship business event the controversial businessman tore into the current “dysfunctional” bloc but said it was not too late for politicians to save it.

The europhile financier, who is a close ally of Brussels boss Jean-Claude Juncker, is a controversial figure in Hungary where the Government has accused him of using his billions to try and manipulate domestic politics.
He has also been an outspoken critic of Brexit, but has repeatedly conceded that the frustrations with the EU which led to Britain’s vote to quit are felt in many other countries.
