Fidesz: Orbán to defend Hungary’s integrity against unjust accusations

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán will defend Hungary’s integrity against unjust accusations and will stand up for Hungarians in the European Parliament’s (EP) debate on the Sargentini report this afternoon, Fidesz’s communications chief told a news conference.

Balázs Hidvéghi said the ruling party had asked the prime minister to give voice to the Hungarian people in the EP and declare that Hungarians still want security in their lives and to live as part of a Christian culture.

He said the “EP pro-migration majority” was taking revenge against Hungary because Hungarians had made it clear that they do not accept immigrants. “The Sargentini report is nothing more than a blatant means to enact political revenge,” the Fidesz spokesman said.

“Whenever anti-migration voices are heard in Europe, they are instantly stigmatised and accused of lying in order to silence them,” he said.

Hungary is under fire because “we have stated that we do not want Hungary to be a country of immigration.” He added that Hungary is also under attack because it has demonstrated that migration can be stopped.
