Gyurcsány: We believe in United States of Europe
Budapest (MTI) – The leftist Democratic Coalition (DK) is committed to the idea of the United States of Europe and closer cooperation within a stronger European Union it entails, the party’s leader Ferenc Gyurcsány told the press on Saturday.
Speaking in the break of a conference on the future of Europe, Gyurcsány named as priorities a new European Constitution, dual citizenship reflecting both national and European identity, coordinated EU border defence, common foreign and defence policy, common social security and labour law with wages at European standards.
“The western European nations have reached a higher standard of living and this is what we should achieve, too. Let’s catch up with Brussels!”, he said, referring to the government’s current billboard campaign “Let’s stop Brussels!”.
MEP Frank Engel, representing the European People’s Party of which ruling Fidesz is a member, said that migration should be viewed as a situation to be solved rather than as a crisis. Engel praised DK for conveying the message that the EU is not against Hungary.
Ulrike Lunacek, Vice President of the European Parliament and member of the green alliance there, took a stand for the idea of the United States of Europe and said that all European countries should take a part in meeting the challenge of migration by accepting refugees.
The conference, also marking the 60th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, was organised by the EP group Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats and DK’s New Republic Foundation.

Quite in agreance, it is right to accept refugees, but it is not right to have liiegal migrants forced onto people who do not want them. But, it is not right to accept recomendations and ideas that Gyurcsány puts foreward about becoming a united europe. People in individual countries should have the right to deside how they want to live thier lives. Gyurcsány in full of feses and should be discarded from Hungarion politics. Just look what he did to the country prior to 2010, almost put the contry into bankrupsy. He doesn’t know how to run a country, let alone Hungary.

Dear Mr. Gyurcsány, your problem is that we don’t believe in you!
e Socialist have always been internationalists. They realize that Marxism, Socialism, Communism, Progressivisms (it’s all the same lie) can’t ever succeed in achieving world domination as long is there a place (a free world, a West Berlin, an America) people can flee from it. Socialism is an evil, foreign ideology that has enslaved and murdered more people than any other political idea that ever existed (yes, even Nazism). It destroys economies, people and countries. Don’t be fooled by those who call themselves Democratic Socialist. The Communist states of Eastern Europe all called themselves Democratic People’s Republics. Socialism, by its definition, depends on an all powerful government that can override individual freedoms in order to achieve the Socialist Utopia, which they refer to as the common good. Instead socialism delivers poverty and a totalitarian society. Vote against these people because they don’t have your best interest in mind.
