Orbán calls freedom, patriotism main pillars of Hungary
Change language:
Freedom and patriotism are the two great traditions of Hungarian politics, the “two main pillars of one-thousand-year-old Hungary, ones that are connected by the beam of fidelity,” Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in Sopron, marking the referendum that kept the city within Hungary’s borders hundred years ago.
Under the post-WWI Trianon Peace Treaty, Sopron, adjacent to the border with Austria, was ceded to that country. Local residents, however, had an opportunity on December 14, 1921, to reverse the decision concerning the city and the surrounding area. They voted in favour of remaining part of Hungary and Sopron has since been called Civitas Fidelissima, the Most Faithful City.
Marking the anniversary, the prime minister asked Sopron “to remain the city of fidelity, a city that connects our homeland with freedom, and thus making Hungary so solid that we, Hungarians, can feel at home in it”.
After the Trianon Peace Treaty Hungary “was seemingly dead” and it was here, in Sopron, that “its heart started to beat again. And it is now throbbing more quickly and strongly than ever over the past hundred years,” Orbán said. The prime minister said that Hungary had to pay more for WWI than anyone else “even if it had not wanted and initiated that war. They [the victorious powera] even wanted to punish us for being, and wishing to remain, Hungarians, and
wanted to force millions of Hungarians to forget their past, their nation and their culture,”
he said.
“Hungary, however, has survived what was meant to be a mortal stab . and indicated that it would recover. And it was not money, power, external support or weapons that enabled it to survive but the strength of patriots that the most faithful city lent to the nation,” Orbán said. The prime minister said the situation today is also difficult, adding that “we need the reassuring example of Soproners”. He said that there was a threat of war in “our neighbourhood”, millions are on their way migrating from one continent to another, epidemics are claiming millions of lives and several countries are suffering from an energy crisis.
There are again those “who,
Today, we don’t have anyone of Orbán’s caliber to lead the country.

Cheap demagogy for primitive audiences.
That is Orbán. No more, no less.
Orbán has every right to speak of freedom, patriotism main pillars of Hungary.
Hungarian hating, foreign Soros dogs are not able to appreciate the risk Orbán took when he spoke at Imre Nagy re-burial on June 16, 1989 and demanded that the Soviet troops leave Hungary.
They are not able to appreciate because they loved Stalin and the Soviet Union.
They are not able to appreciate because Orbán spoke Hungarian that these foreign provocateurs wouldn’t understand.
It is time for Brussels to acknowledge that Hungary will not cede its sovereignty to Marxist EU. Accepted EU.
