Hungarian House Speaker fears resurgence of communism
Western states are currently attempting to “reload communism”, Speaker of Parliament László Kövér said at the Tranzit festival in Tihany, in western Hungary, on Saturday.
Hungary “already tried [communism], and we’d like to stay out of it this time,” he said at the festival.
“World-changing ideas often break to the surface, but the method’s always the same and brings with it the pre-eminence of ‘me'”, Kövér said. The approach of young liberal leaders shows a “striking resemblance” to the erstwhile Communist leaders of Hungary, he said.
Kövér said the most important task was to protect young people from the “trap of far-left ideas, manifesting in gender ideology and wokeism, among others.” That task requires strong families capable of protecting children, and an education system willing to step in and impart values and ways to live as a community if the families are weak, he said.
Mária Schmidt, the director of the House of Terror Museum, said communist ideology had strengthened in the West after the 1990s, “giving rise to the LGBTQ and Black Lives Matter movements, which are just as aggressive as cancel culture, a mirror image of the Chinese cultural revolution,” she said.
At another discussion at the festival, Fidesz MEP Balázs Hidvéghi called for a return to the original values of the EU. “The question is whether the EU can return to its earlier, effective functions while respecting the sovereignty of its member states, its founding principles and its own regulations, or whether it continues to move towards even more doctrinaire, narrow, aggressive policies which weaken its global roles and risk its partnerships,” he said.

Fidesz has brought the right-wing neo-fascist version of communism to Hungary. There is only one party that holds power, all of the media is under the power of the party and all areas of the economy are under party control. The country is being led to view Russia as its’ benign big brother. China is also a “friend” of Hungary. The US is an “adversary.” How much different is this from the days of Kadar?
