We do not want to live in a European empire, says Hungarian justice minister
Justice Minister Judit Varga held talks on the issue of the rule of law in Hungary and the future of Europe in Stockholm on Monday.
In a Facebook post, Varga said she had told Sweden’s EU Affairs Minister Hans Dahlgren that reports in the international media regarding the state of the rule of law in Hungary should be treated with caution because they were “often one-sided”.
“This is also true for the independent and objective reports published by the European Commission,” she added.
Varga said the EU’s rule-of-law procedures were “political witch-hunts dressed up as legal procedures”, of which she said the latest example was the “series of attacks” launched against Hungary over its child protection law.
The minister said that in her talks she underscored Hungary’s position that
parents should have the exclusive right to decide how they raise their children which position she said “Brussels too must understand”.
Varga said she and Dahlgren had also discussed the challenges facing Europe. She said that despite their different cultures and geographical distance, Hungary and Sweden shared the goal of “putting Europe back on the global map”, emphasising that this was only possible to achieve as a community of strong nation states.
“Hungary’s vision remains straight forward and clear-cut: we do not want to live in a European empire,”
Varga said. “Integration is a means and not an end in itself”, she said, calling for the aim of an ever closer union among the peoples of Europe to be removed from the EU’s founding treaties. Decisions should be made by Europe’s elected leaders rather than international NGOs, she added.
“We say no to the outsourcing of the rule of law,”
Varga said. She said the strength of European integration stems from shared economic success, adding that a failure by member states to be more successful together than on their own would mean the end of the EU.
Varga also said that the coming decade would be characterised by “dangerous challenges” including mass migration and pandemics which European people needed to be protected from.
The minister also called for restoring European democracy. She said the European Parliament had “turned out to be a dead end” that only represented “its own ideological and institutional interests”. Varga called for giving a larger role to national parliaments and admitting Serbia to the EU.

She is 100% right again. WShe is a smart, patriotic Hungarian mother of three. She is one classy lady.
Kepp up the good work for Hungary!
The poor pervert istvan is so distracted by a picture of the justice minister his spelling’s gone out the window. Bless!
Anonymous is a dangerous woman hating pervert. He hates women, especially smart, classy women like Judit Varga who protects Hungarian children from pedophile pervert.
Family is father, mother and children.
The Hungarian government protects our borders from illegal migrants and our children from perverts.
One article today here in the DNH says she is the Justice Minister. Another says she is the Finance Minister. Only one thing is consistent here, mention her name and István drools even more and writes more dribble.
As a fairly recent reader, who is this István.? I’ve worked out that he seems to be American, who has written that he worked there in engineering and claims a Hungarian connection through some relatives (may be through Ukraine when a part was still Hungarian):. He was called Steve or Stephen and has a weird obsession with a member of the government here, And perhaps his member as well.
A stalker is calling non stalkers perverts? How strange.
Mihály Varga is the Hungarian finance minister. Judit Varga is the justice minister 😉
One or two foreign perverts go insane any time I comment on an article about Hungarian Justice Minister Juditt Varga, a very smart and classy mother of three children.
There can be no more than one or two of these women hating perverts but thy use several names to make it appear as more people supported their perversion.
The Government of Hungary conducted a number of surveys that show overwhelming support for protecting our borders from illegal migrants and our children from perverts. It is the will of Hungarian people.
The foreign perverts posting their personal attacks without making a single rational argument are unable to accept the will of Hungarian people.

The exact opposite is true:

How much is Lili, Lajos and Anonymous are being paid by Soros to try to disparage Istvan? Are these people, previously mentioned, ready to cede Hungary’s sovereignty to the EU? Is Lily, Lajos and Anonymous are aware of the bloodshed that was spent by to finally attain Hungary’s independence?
The bottom line is, it is only up to the Hungarian people to determine their faith. Ms. Varga well represents the interest and the views of the Hungarian people. Well done Ms. Varga.
I also like to command “Istvan” for understanding the history and the wishes of the Hungarian people.
MTV, you have given the impression in the past that you live in Canada. If that is the case, stick to Canadian issues.
These Soros trolls have a strange value system.
They call you a pervert if you approve the work done on behalf of Hungarian children by Judit Varga, a classy lady and mother of three children.
On the other hand, they scream discrimination and want to deprive Hungary of Hungary’s EU funds because Hungary doesn’t let these perverts molest Hungarian children.
These not Hungarians but one or two paid Soros trolls sent here.
I expect increased interference in Hungary’s upcoming election from the EU, the US far-left and paid Soros trolls. They will fail.
Lili, Lajos and Anonymous are probably the same Soros paid trolls.
Very stupid trolls because speculating on MTV’ and my country of residence is so stupid, especially since I already stated who I am and where I live.
Speculating on MTV’s country of residence is just as stupid, especially from Soros paid foreign trolls.
