Hungarian Justice Minister: EU became “a platform for ideological disputes”
Change language:
Instead of more Europe, “we want a wiser Europe”, Justice Minister Judit Varga said on Saturday, adding that “to us, unity in diversity means the harmony of sovereign states.”
Addressing a conference marking Hungarian Independence Day, Varga said “we want a Europe where EU law is not used as an ideological weapon and where political frustration does not overpower the principles of the treaties.”
“A series of belated and ill-fated European responses to the challenges of the 21st century have made it clear that integration has lost its response capability, and pragmatic cooperation has turned into a platform for ideological disputes,” she said.
Varga said Europe was ruled by mainstream calling itself “progressive and liberal” which strove for a united states of Europe, “a Europe supporting multiculturalism, welcoming migration and rejecting the traditional family model as well as the continent’s cultural religious heritage.”
