President: No Hungary without Europe, no Europe without Hungary
Change language:
“There is no future for Hungary without Europe just as there would be no future for Europe without Hungary,” President Katalin Novák said in an interview published by economic portal Portfolio.hu on Saturday.
“We are an independent, sovereign, grown-up nation with its own values and interests,” she told Portfolio.
Hungary is “not just west-oriented but has been an integral and unalienable part of the West for at least a thousand years”, Novák said. She added she was “not happy with the fast and loose” between the European Commission and the Hungarian government, but said that “the country’s sovereignty must be protected”. “We demand the same full-fledged membership and respect as the citizens of any founder (of the EU) or later entrant are entitled to; a regular place at the table in Brussels,” she said.
“It would be good to return to cooperation based on mutual respect, and that indeed requires compromises,” Novák said.
According to Novák, the EU has weakened rather than strengthened during the past decade, and is now “lagging behind the United States and Asia in terms of its ability to promote diplomatic interests, demography, and competitiveness”, the president said. Europe has “forgotten about common strategic policy making and has placed ideological issues in the focus”, she said, adding “we must wake up”.
On another subject, Novák said the values of the countries in the Balkans were European values and “their culture is European culture”. Stability in the region could be promoted by “preserving the sovereignty of each country but by co-opting them to our alliance”, she said.
On the subject of the war in Ukraine, Novák said Russian President Vladimir Putin “crossed the Rubicon” when it invaded Ukraine and “the so-called western world shouted ‘not any further!’ as one person”, the president said. The goal, she added, was “to make Europe an independent, self-sustainable, economically strong, secure, and peaceful area with its own defence”.
Samantha Power, a foreign policy wonk & diplomatic operative of the current US regime (as well as Obama’s) has been visiting Hungary lately. I implore Hungarians to look HARD at anything that she (or the US regime) says. She is one of the original mid-wives of the events in Ukraine ini 2014, which my Ukrainian friends and their friends still regard as a soft coup.
Keep true to your nationality, culture, traditions & values. Patriots all over the world will support you.
God Bless.
No Europe without Hungary… this sentence is the joke of the year.
@Mario:
Touché!
Who is Pres. Novák trying to fool?
Sucking up to her boss, fattening his ego.
I can hear the very same “bells” ringing all over Hungary, to listen to a “carillon” that plays a true tune, we should give the opposition’s a try.
No “Christian” person would allow teachers to wallow in poverty while she travels around on tax money. No “Christian” would allow hospitals to crumble while pretending to promote families with no medical care and no education system.
“Yes Prime Minister” – the President of Hungary, continues to DISPLAY she is in this Orban “plan” to destroy Hungary, rid it of Democracy and a return to a Government under Communistic Rule.
Hungary – we have a place in Europe, we have a place in the European Union, we STILL, although it is DIMINISHING at a rapid pace, to FUNCTION as a DEMOCRACY.
There is just one MASSIVE – overdue ACTION that Hungary needs to – in SOLIDARITY act upon, and that is to REMOVE – the present Prime Minister – Victor Orban & his “Yes Prime Minister” lot.
WHAT have they DELIVERED to Hungary?
A cataclysmic MESS – destroying the Brand Name of Hungary, humiliating our PROUD name, and sending us – tumbling us in “Free Fall” – back into times of pre 1989.
Hungary- we can retain IDENTIFICATION – Recognition & Respect – in the European Union, in Europe & Globally, – without any attachment to the name Hungary associated with Victor Orban.
History never Lies.
August 1989 – Hero Square – Victor Orban takes to the microphone.
Orban – delights at the end of Russian Communistic Rule in Hungary – 1945-1989.
Orban – our FUTURE is under Democracy, and all to us, into the Future, that by Government rule under a Democratic system, the way only of the FUTURE for Hungary.
Orban – has manipulated, spoken with a “Forked Tongue” constantly fabricated been EXPOSED from speaking Truth.
Hungary – we are in a cataclysmic MESS – that just GROWS – that the name Victor Orban and his “Yes Prime Minister” lot – Must Go.
