Hungarian Foreign Affairs Minister speaks about the new anti-paedophile law
The “liberal mainstream” has launched a “global fake news attack” on Hungary regarding recently approved legislation on the protection of children and stricter punishment for paedophilia, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on public broadcaster Kossuth Rádio on Sunday.
“Everything they say is lies, everything they say has no connection whatsoever to the legislation that we approved in the interest of protecting children,” Szijjártó said.
The legislation, he added, declares that children must be defended from paedophiles, on the one hand, and that the education of children regarding sexual orientation is exclusively the right of parents, on the other.

“The liberal mainstream’s suggestion that the law discriminates against some groups of society is a lie,” he said.
Commenting on the matter of the legislation becoming an issue at the recent European Union summit as well as at a EURO2020 match between Hungary and Germany, Szijjártó said
“the liberal mainstream is incapable of accepting that, in Hungary, the patriotic government, which operates on the basis of the mandate of the Hungarian people, makes the national interest a priority”.
PM Orbán: Anti-paedophile law about protecting children, parents
He said “they cannot stand” that Hungary’s government has won three parliamentary elections in a row, that Hungary achieved one of the highest rates of economic growth in Europe before the crisis, and that policy measures addressing the challenges of the coronavirus crisis were “among the most successful, both economically and in terms of health care”, so
they “find something wrong with every single one of our laws”, even before the text is available in Hungarian.
He said the illumination by Amnesty International of the Hungarian embassy in The Hague with rainbow colours for an hour on Friday, “with the assistance and support of local authorities”, was “an unprecedented incident”.

He added that the act runs counter to the practices of international law and diplomacy which ensure defense by the host country of every embassy against all kinds of insults.
Commenting on the work of the recently established operative board for jump-starting the economy, which he heads, Szijjártó said the government had already approved the body’s first proposals, including one to broaden support for research and development by lowering the eligibility threshold for subsidies for investments from 3 million euros to 1 million euros and the one for job creation to ten.
To ensure export development, regulations governing Hungary’s Eximbank have been made more flexible, and a framework for supporting Hungarian companies’ investments abroad has been established, while rules on employment have been streamlined to support job creation, he added.

The Netherlands are used to have colonies and feel that God gave them the right to dictate to the world. The world does not believe this. The Dutch should clean up their country. There is dirt all over their cities. People are afraid to speak freely because there is no free speech in Holland. The right of the Dutch people are diminished over the right of illegal and legal aliens. Are the children protected from pedophilia in the Netherlands, are the perpetrators punished, only the Dutch people can answer that.
However, in Hungary, children are precious. The government feels it its duty to protect all children.
The rearing of children are the responsibility of the parents and not the state. That was the norm all over the world and it worked. Once that State started interfering, gangs formed in large numbers and crime rose. Pedophilia and rape damaged children for the rest of their lives, It is time that all countries followed Hungary’s example and put the children’s welfare before politics.
Maria von Teresa,
a truer word have never been said.
If the hungarian economy is so great, and the EU does not share Hungary’s values, then why stay? I’m sure Orban would not compromise his principles for the tens of billion euros Brussells each year gifts to his Goverment. Art 50 is there for the taking, then he can be free to do whatever he wants.
It’s called “toe the party line”.
Never forget who puts the butter on your bread ///
Peter Szijjarto – status within Fidesz – continues to “bloom” as does his and his Families – personal Wealth.
The “heir apparent” – the “favored one” – by Victor Orban, to led Fidesz, on his elevation or enthronement – as the next King of Hungary – Victor Orban – that would see Peter Szijjarto – installed as Party Leader of Fidesz and King Victors most – Loyal and Obedient – Prime Minister.
Peter Szijjarto – interesting individual degrees of complexity in his characteristics and character – but he is power driven and backs himself – with a firm – Belief – of his Political opinion’s position – that they – are – CORRECT & RIGHT – for the Future of Hungary.
Credit afforded him – this article Szijjarto – does make a concerted effort to dissect and break-down – explaining the Law passed 15th June 2021.
Prime Minister – Victor Orban and his Government – need to – URGENTLY – “jump on” the explanation points and reason(s) explained to the citizens of Hungary and the wider World by Szijjarto – and build there – REASON(s) – on and around the “platform” communicated and explained by Szijjarto.
Prime Minister – Victor Orban – should tap Szijjarto on the shoulder – not with a ceremonial rod – just at this point of time in the History of Hungary – and to the “favored one” exchange in ear “whisper” tone – “greater things await you in time my most loyal and faithful Foreign Minister”.
Loredana,
Hungary has joined the EU for trade, trade it must for the economy as you know.
The EU had vastly different attitudes and policies at that time.
Sadly, like a marriage that has gone on the rocks , our viewpoints have changed dramatically.
The EU has and is deciding “on the run” about its policies and politics.
We just wanted to trade, we don’t want to be told how to live our lives the (same way) as it was under the communist regime.
It wants to “force Hungary on its knees”, why?
Don’t we have rights as well???????
So, THEY send in the “goon-squad” to create problems.
Preschools and libraries offer story time with drag queens – along with sex ed 1sr grader with tips on masterbation along with books.
After demanding gay marriage – now the feel marriage should be abolished for all and a end to families. If you disagree with anything they put out they are going to come after you and the woke culture and media will try to destroy you.

Norway, iceland, switzerland are not EU members still they can access the single market and have frictionless trade. Orban just does not want to leave it because he doesn’t want to lose those sweet sweet grants the bad union gives to Hungary each year. It seems principles always come after interests.
