Hungarian Justice Minister in US: ‘Conservative politics works’
Justice Minister Judit Varga highlighted the achievements of the Hungarian government in a lecture delivered at the Washington, DC, headquarters of the Heritage Foundation late on Monday, and said those achievements had helped ruling Fidesz to its fourth two-thirds election victory in April.
For example, Varga said the government had delivered on its 2010 pledge to create one million new jobs by 2021, adding it was proof that the Christian Democrat and national conservative formula were working.
Varga insisted that the liberal mainstream was in opposition with the Hungarian government because it had demonstrated that national sovereignty, conservative values, and democratic government based on the rule of law could be harmonised. The rule of law could be maintained on a foundation of conservative values, she added.
Concerning the European Union, the minister said the community’s success was based on the achievements of each nation state, but added that the EU was apparently seeking to build a Europe without nations. She said the EU outsourced democracy to an international network of NGOs, which had no authorisation by their respective states and were financed internationally. They have a huge power to influcence the public, she said, and insisted that the political decision-making in the EU was no longer based on input from the national governments but from the institutions trapped by those NGOs.
Europe should again be working as a democracy of democracies, in which the national governments set directions because those are the bodies that bear responsibility for their own citizens and economies, Varga said.

The Heritage Foundation? The place Mr. Trump went to deliver a speech this April when he was trying to position himself as a presidential hopeful, again? Led by Dr. Roberts – who is most definitely funded by Koch Industries ((“Evil NGOs!”)? A confirmed climate change denier? He who greeted the Brothers of Italy election with the tweet “… trend: conservatives everywhere need to define the choice as what it is—US vs THEM, everyday people vs globalist elites, who’ve shown they hate us” (lovely bit of inviting dialogue)?
I bet she received a very warm reception
