Orbán: Liberals must respect right of non-liberals to hold EU together
“If we want to keep the European Union together, liberals must respect the rights of non-liberals,” Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in a “samizdat” letter published on his website on Monday.
At the latest European Council meeting, “the rainbow-flagged prime ministers … sought to clarify in a debate whether the unity of values still existed,” Orbán said.
He said the debate was “eerily similar” to the one that broke out in June 2015 over the “migrant invasion of Europe”.
“Both were morally difficult, politically important and intellectually beautiful debates. In both cases, the answer is the same: there is no unity of values and therefore no political unity either,” Orbán said.
He said that in both cases, “the Liberals started from the premise that these were issues to which there was only one answer, one in line with the Liberal hegemony of opinion.” Non-liberal democrats, on the other hand, said “there are different answers … and that only an approach of ‘unity in diversity’ can hold the European Union together,” Orbán said.
“Liberals believe that everyone has the right to migrate and to enter the territory of the European Union, even if it is not directly from a dangerous country but through a safe third country. The right to migrate, they say, is essentially a human right.”
Regarding “the current debate” on sexual education in schools, Orbán said “liberals state that children should be given awareness-raising publications that can educate them about heterosexuality, homosexuality, leaving the biological sex and sex-change operations and this is their human right. In their view children can be educated about those issues without parental consent and without state restrictions.”
Non-liberal democrats, however, see the sexual education of children as the right of the parent, and “without their consent, neither the state, nor political parties, NGOs, or rainbow activists can play a role,” the prime minister said.
Orbán said that today “rainbow countries have the right to move beyond the binary social arrangement based on man-woman and mother-father relations”. “They used to be like that, but deliberately and by elevating their intentions to the level of state policy, they have moved to another dimension,” he said.
“Whether it is better to live in a binary or a rainbow world and why is a question on which both sides argue their own opinion. Everyone has one’s own truth,” Orbán said.
“But from the point of view of law, international law, EU law and the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the right position is beyond doubt. Migration is not a human right, and how a child is brought up sexually is not a child’s human right. There is no such human right. Instead, there is Article 14 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights on the right of parents to ensure that their child is provided with an appropriate upbringing. If we want to keep the European Union together, liberals must respect the rights of non-liberals. Unity in diversity. That is the future,” the prime minister said.

Liberals NEVER respect the right of anyone that gets in the way of their agenda. Just like in America it is on the verge of a second civil war due to how much liberals respect the right of others to disagree. With Liberals if you disagree they want your dead or in a work camp. Did Europe and Russia not learn anything from the time of the Soviet Union domination of Eastern Europe? If Europe united in the European Union is to survive George Soro’s and his Brussels poodles must be removed completely from the picture. I cannot see that ever happening I am praying and hoping Hungary and many of the Eastern European former Iron Curtain nations come to their senses and withdraw their membership in the EU.
It may not matter much to those countries already lost their identity or so desperate for funds that they
will accept any kind of conditions to survive.
If you are not familiar with the facts, you will be surprised how many of these ‘LARGE’ economies
are in dire states.
I think Mr Orban is a very polite man,
THE EU MUST RECOGNISE THIS WAKE-UP CALL.
OTHERWISE WE WILL FINISH UP BEING LIKE THE MIDDLE-EAST ALWAYS AT WAR WITH EACH OTHER.
EUROPE IS A MESS.
IT HAS BECOME A DICTATORSHIP.
DO YOU NOTICE THAT THE COUNTRIES SUPPORTING “ECONOMIC MIGRATION” ARE THE COUNTRIES
WTH EX-COLONIES.
PLUS DERANGED SOROS, WHO IS DETERMINED TO DESTROY EUROPE AND DOESN’T MIND SPENDING
ALL HIS MONEY TO ACHIEVE HIS GOAL.
HEED THE WORDS OF THIS WISE AND EXPERIENCED POLITICIAN WHO IS A TRUE STATESMAN.
“the rainbow-flagged prime ministers …
rainbow ??? really. !!!
TRICOLA ?
I really think the liberals can kiss his ass. Their immorality is not Hungary’s problem but their own. They can normalize homosexuality if they like. but maybe not in Hungary.
Orban you can leave whenever you want. Believe me , nobody would stop you. If you have such strong principles and you see the EU and Hungary are on two different paths, you can surely give up the tens of billions euro you get from the union and be free. You certanly cannot accept the rainbow loving tax payers money, can’t you?
The exit door beckons. Time to cut my losses and decamp from this ….istan. Enjoy your high and moral stay.
Bye Bye Mario,Bye Felicia.
Isn’t about time that damn AMERICAN “Mario” shuts the f…up and minds his own business ?
He isn’t Hungarian, he isn’t even European !
Yet he makes it his business to CONTINUALLY interfere in Hungary’s affairs !!
It is about time that – like an irritating mosquito – he is SQUASHED against a wall and his remains flushed down the toilet.
Bye Bye Felicia.
The rainbow is a sign of the covenant between God and the earth. Any other use is a perversion of this gift from God. It cannot be claimed by one group of people as a symbol identifying and belonging to them. I demand our rainbow, our gift from God, back!
