Orbán: Italians and Hungarians are freedom fighters who will never give up their countries to foreigners
The Italians and the Hungarians are two freedom fighter people that never surrender, never give up their freedom and never give up their countries to foreigners, Viktor Orbán said in Pontida, in northern Italy, where he addressed as guest speaker the annual rally held by Matteo Salvini’s League party on Sunday.
Viktor Orbán said that Hungary on October 6 observed a national day of mourning to pay tribute to the heroes of the 1848/49 revolution and war of independence; adding that at that time the Italian and Hungarian people rose up and fought with arms against foreign rule.
“Italians and Hungarians are two freedom fighter people, and we are their heirs. We will never surrender, we will never give up our freedom, and we will never hand over our country to foreigners. We will not hand it over either to Brussels bureaucrats, or to global financial powers or migrants,” Orbán said, and added that Italy belonged to Italians and Hungary to Hungarians.
The prime minister called Matteo Salvini a European patriot, who Orbán said was celebrated as a hero in Hungary because he had closed the borders and defended the homes of Italians and also defended Europe. He said Salvini deserved an honour, not a judicial proceeding for that. Orbán called the proceedings launched against Salvini in connection with illegal migration “a disgrace” for the left and the whole of Europe.

EU migration laws make no sense. Salvini should be congratulated instead of taken to court. The right must unite against the dictatorship of the EU to be able to serve the interest of the citizens of their nations.

Noup. Hungariana should not fight for freedom or against Russia, at least that what Balasz orbam said weeks ago. So don’t let Victor wash your brain again. We all should surrender (sarcastic mode off)

Serious, genuine question: What about what Mr. Orban is saying here is controversial or in any way objectionable?

“We will not hand it over either to Brussels bureaucrats, or to global financial powers or migrants,”
But it seems perfectly ok for Orbán to hand it over to Russia and China.
… And we (Hungary) and Italy were both Axis powers who sided with Nazi Germany to fight against the Allies.

Jose, it is most unlikely that Russia would ever attack Hungary. Russia prefers trade over war, more profitable. If Russia would ever consider attacking Hungary, Hungarian diplomats must convince Russia that is would be more profitable to occupy a western nation and even help them get their.

How exactly do you explain Mr. Putin´s “Special Military Operation” of the past two and a half years? Very curious!

Maria, you (just like trump) want to incentivate a russia attack to the west. did you know that if russia attacks a nato member, hungary should respond against russia? i mean, i am not the one talking BS. But maybe you can ask to orban to leave nato and the eu and we will see how diplomatic is russia with an unprotected hungary. sorry but your arguments are so lame
