PM Orbán: Patriotic fighters needed in Europe

Lots of patriotic fighters are needed in Europe, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in a video message shown at the Europa Viva 2024 convention of the right-wing Spanish Vox party in Madrid on Sunday.

“We face a big battle together as Brussels unloads mass illegal migration on us, poisons our children with gender propaganda, leaves the countryside to its fate and destroys traditional families,” Orbán said.

He said that at the NatCon event in Brussels in April police had been “sent to us because they did not want to hear us talk about conservative, Christian patriotic values — the future of our Europe.”

Europe’s borders, he added, could only be protected “if we rely on ourselves”, and this was also true when it came to bringing up children and nurturing country life.

Orbán declared Santiago Abascal and the Vox party to be “dedicated fighters” who ensured security, freedom, the protection of Spaniards and their families.

The Fidesz leader concluded his message by saying: “Vamos Santiago, vamos Vox, let’s make Europe great again!”

Fidesz parliament group leader: Current Brussels leaders cannot guarantee prosperity, peace

The current leaders in Brussels cannot guarantee either prosperity or peace, the leader of ruling Fidesz’s parliamentary group said on Sunday.

Máté Kocsis told public radio that a change was needed in Brussels’ leadership because they had been unable to guarantee to European citizens the very basics that the European Union had been established for.

“The founders promised peace and prosperity but in the past five years … the current EU leaders have been unable to guarantee this, and there is war and a weakening economy instead,” he said.

“Robert Fico has been temporarily lost from among pro-peace politicians”, which has further increased the significance of the European Parliament election, he added.
