Out of the 395 registered events in the conference series on the future of Europe, Hungary is holding the most from among EU member states, Judit Varga, the justice minister, said on Facebook on Wednesday.
Varga said this was further proof of Hungary’s commitment to exchanging of views on the future of the bloc for which the opinion of Hungarians was indispensable.
In her English-language post, she wrote: “Those who keep crying wolf and accuse us of being anti-EU or eurosceptic must be in big trouble now. Greetings also to those key politicians of the European ‘models’ who have so far tried to expel us from the community!”
“We will stay. With heads held high, clear ideas and a competitive vision.
We are not going anywhere. Because we want to keep the Union as it was when we joined it,” she added.
“Sensible and respectful” dialogue between East and the West is “always best for us Hungarians and central Europeans”, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said in a video published on Facebook on Wednesday.
In his video recorded during a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Latvia, Szijjártó said:
“Hungary has no interest whatsoever in a new Cold War
or in engendering a psychotic state reminiscent of a Cold War,” adding that even such a state would “seriously harm our national security interests”.
Hungary, he added, supported all NATO and European Union initiatives aimed at creating further communication channels “between East and West, between Russia and NATO, and between Russia and the EU,” the minister said. “We have an interest in resolving problems through dialogue, through diplomatic channels,” Szijjarto added.

Judit Varga is right again. Thank you Judit for your service.
Hang on a minute István, weren’t you bleating about HUNXIT in one of your posts! You can’t seem to think straight when Ms Varga appears in an article.
I am sure the EU is sorry you are staying, just more headache from a small insignificant country that thinks it’s a super-power (like US, China, Germany…..).

We are allowed to post only in English and not in Hungarian on DNH because the majority of people posting here don’t understand Hungarian language, history and culture.
Too many of posts are openly ant-Hungarian. They advocate for globalist, communist, lgbtq perversion, and uncontrolled migration from the Middle-East and Africa. Some are paid by Soros funded organizations, foreign agents.
When Justice Minister Judit Varga says that “Hungary will remain in the EU with heads held high!” she speaks on behalf of duly elected by 2/3 parliamentarian majority Hungarian government. At this time, the majority of Hungarians support that position. I expect that Fidesz-KDNP will the 2022 election with 2/3 majority. That means that Fidesz-KDNP will continue to govern Hungary with the consent of Hungarian people.
Foreign Soros agent provocateurs don’t vote.
The world is not a static place, there are always a kaleidoscope of new challenges so it is totally unrealistic to expect the EU to be an ossified institution. It has to adapt to changes that are taking place around the world and also to the changes of the expectations of the citizens within the EU. Thus Varga’s view that ‘we want to keep the union as it was when we joined’ is a failure to recognise that much has changed since the 1st of May 2004 when Hungary joined the EU and that as with all organisational structures the EU changes and adapts in order to face or pre empt new challenges.
Translation: where is the money?
Hungarians vote in Hungarian elections.
Soros agent, foreign provocateurs don’t vote in Hungarian elections.
Magyarország a magyaroké.
A note that a certain commentator has recommenced with unsubstantiated (and untrue) personal attacks upon other commentators, despite having been publicly warned by the DNH a few weeks ago. It his high time that he is barred from posting his hate filled invective.
