Orbán cabinet: war is against Hungary’s interests
Hungary’s thousand-year history has proven that “war is against our interest”, and it is not its conquests that Hungary is proud of but its wars of independence, the head of the Prime Minister’s Office said on Tuesday.
Gergely Gulyás told an event including an awards ceremony marking the August 20 national holiday that during a thousand years, Hungarians had witnessed centuries of peace, wars and internecine wars, and “the second half of the millennium was dedicated to the Hungarian state’s fight for survival”.
Hungary’s heydays were not linked to colonialism but to the periods of independence and freedom, he said, adding that it was “a firm foundation and immovable goal” ever since King Saint Stephen that “Hungary’s fate must be decided in Hungary.”
“We are proud that a thousand years ago, Saint Stephen placed the Hungarian state on a firm foundation and made it a part of Christian Europe”, Gulyás said.
