Jobbik sums up party objectives in declaration

Senior officials of opposition Jobbik on Tuesday adopted a declaration summing up objectives of “Hungary’s only people’s party”, a party with a “national, Christian, conservative, centre-right and socially sensitive character”.

Jobbik wants to work to build a “Hungary of welfare”, with a society based on free enterprise and personal performance, which ensures equal opportunities and security to all citizens through eliminating corruption and “removing the social causes of crime”.

According to Jobbik, Hungary must become a strong country which “benefits from rather than suffers developments of the 21st century”.

“Jobbik is an independent political movement, which strictly observes its own values but is willing to cooperate with other political forces to restore democracy and the rule of law in Hungary”.

Jobbik believes that Hungary, which “chose Christianity and Europe over a thousand years ago, will have its future in Europe”,

the document said.

DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES

As Hungary’s only true people’s party, we want to declare our commitment to our social objectives for all our current and future supporters and all of our compatriots:

OUR VALUES

JOBBIK is proud to be a patriotic, Christian, conservative, centre-right, socially sensitive people’s party.

We are a patriotic party: we wish to promote the social advancement of Hungary and the entire Hungarian community. Our future plans and policies are built upon the progress of our homeland.

We are a socially sensitive Christian party: the pillars of our policies are the representation of the Hungarian people, Christian ethics and social principles.

We are a modern conservative party: we believe the only way for building a better future in the 21st century is through preserving our national values and traditions.

We are a centre-right people’s party: we always focus on the interests of Hungary and the Hungarian people instead of a political group or an ideology. On the other hand, we reject hatemongering and extreme political views that are contrary to Christian values and ethics.

With the help of God, we want to give back the hope of a better future for the Hungarian communities living within and beyond our borders. We wish to build an independent, liveable and proud Hungary for all members of our nation, which is only possible in a country that prospers in all aspects of life. Therefore our daily decisions are guided by our intent to make sure that the critical challenges of the upcoming decades or centuries are not faced by a depleted nation.

EQUAL CHANCES FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE HUNGARIAN NATION! BUILD A HUNGARY WITH SHARED PROSPERITY!

We want to build an honest and fair society where all of our compatriots, regardless of their gender or political affiliations, can exercise their democratic rights, such as the freedom of speech, assembly and the press, where equal chances are not limited, where nobody “is left behind” and where the equal access to healthcare, education and culture is not a privilege but a fundamental right. We want to accomplish these goals in all regions of Hungary and for all members of our nation.

FREE ENTERPRISE AND REWARD FOR WORK

JOBBIK believes that democracy can only be operated by free people who do not depend on political kingpins, oligarchs or multinational corporations. That is why we support individual and local initiatives, innovation as well as personal autonomy. We believe that the fruits of development must be shared with all citizens of our nation.

We are convinced that a democratic national government must support Hungarian enterprises, reward hard work and performance and promote the economic development and job creation in all regions of our country, strictly complying with the principle of equal pay for equal work and raising the value of Hungarian labour to a European level. Our most important objective for all Hungarian individuals and families is to enable them to prosper in our homeland so that hundreds of thousands of our compatriots would not need to leave their country!

SECURITY

In today’s world stricken by international and domestic conflicts, we want to build a Hungarian state where citizens are protected from threats, immigration as well as digital oppression and where the state leaders abide by the law as much as citizens do. The state will come down hard on those who break the law, including “white-collar” criminals and corrupt politicians and no longer allow the state to abuse its power.

We will persecute all forms of corruption. We will do whatever it takes to hold accountable all those who have caused any harm to the Hungarian State!
