Justice min: “We need to facilitate peace and strive for stability”

Families are at the heart of the Hungarian fundamental law, not just as a legal entity or blood ties “but a concept saturated with values that define our identity and our worldview”, Justice Minister Judit Varga told a conference in Brussels on Wednesday.

In her keynote speech at the conference The Future of Nation-State in Europe, organised by the Edmund Burke Foundation, Varga said: “The full support of our families is the guarantee for the preservation of our sovereignty. Therefore, the Fundamental Law of Hungary also states the protection of marriage, and that the upbringing of children is the sole responsibility of the parent. Also, that the mother shall be a woman, the father shall be a man,” she said.

“Therefore, it is extremely important to understand that anyone who attacks the families, eventually will attack the whole construction, the whole European Union.”

“We cannot, therefore let the liberal and left-wing mainstream distort our concept of freedom and substitute it with their blunt, colourless and odourless theory of civil liberties,” Varga said.

In the past decade, EU leaders were occupied with “ever expending integration, bureaucratization, and ideological crusades”, Varga said. “The project that started as a brilliant economic cooperation slowly evolved into something different: an empire-alike entity where the duties and competences between the member states and institutions are blurred and intentionally distorted.”

“In 2010 Hungarian people decided to empower the government with an extraordinary two-thirds majority to bring an end to the post-communist era. Citizens gave mandate to build the state on new foundations based on the Fundamental Law of Hungary.

The core elements of this structure are Christian tradition, conservative values, strong nation, and thriving families,” she said.

Commitment to the fundamental law means Hungary cannot accept migration as the solution to demographic problems as migration “is not just endangering our culture, sovereignty and self-identity, but also brings social tension and inevitable disturbances while destroying the cultural identity of Europe.”

Regarding the war in Ukraine, Varga said: “We need to facilitate peace and strive for stability.” Hungary has launched an “extraordinary” humanitarian aid programme, provided protection and helped hundreds of thousands of refugees, she said.

Varga said that parallels between the Ukrainian refugee crisis and the “migration crisis in 2015”, however, should not be drawn. “Most of the migrants who arrived during the last few years are proved to be ineligible for international protection. This crisis is completely different, it is clear, that there is an armed conflict in our direct neighbourhood,” she said.
