Orbán: ‘Hungarians have right to live under laws of Christian freedom’
Change language:
Hungary’s prime minister stressed the need of compromise between two parts of Europe but added that Hungarians’ “right to live according to the laws of Christian freedom” should be respected.
Addressing a congress of ruling Fidesz in Budapest on Sunday, Viktor Orbán said the nations preferring an alliance of European countries to an empire governed from Brussels want to remain “proud European nations based on Christianity” rather than turn into immigrant societies, he said.
Orbán said that Hungary “is no longer alone in the arena but part of a column of Poles, Czechs and Slovaks”.
He added that Austria would hopefully join that column after the Sunday elections and that it is a matter of time before “the flag of Italian freedom” will be unfurled again.
An agreement between the two parts of Europe is conditional on the West accepting the right to live under the laws of Christian freedom and discontinuing “open attacks against our nations and governments”, Orbán said.
“We are no longer prepared to finance from European money a multitude of hostile, Soros-type pseudo-civil organisations,” he said, and called on those organisations to leave central Europe.
The EU budget is not meant to finance teams and media outlets pleasing the liberals and serving their interests, or to train activists and organisers of demonstrations, he said.
Orbán blamed the “covert liberal attacks” for the instability of North Macedonia and for the “ills of government” in Romania. He said that the international left wing and the liberal networks of Washington and Brussels integrated into international political decision making pose the biggest threat to the peaceful life of central Europe where policy makers have to face “their political tricks and dozens of their fake news networks”.
