Regardless of what one thinks of the Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orbányou have to admire the constancy and simplicity of his message: Hungary wants to remain Hungarian, and rejects becoming a “mixed company.” This is what he said again this Wednesday at the National Conservatism Conference (NatCon) in Brussels.
«Hungary does not want a mixed society, it wants to protect its borderswants to preserve its culture and traditions»stated the Hungarian Prime Minister, stressing that it is up to each Member State to decide independently how it wants to solve the immigration problem.
There is no need for a common migration policy of the European Union, the issue of immigration must remain a national competence, said the prime minister, adding that, in his opinion, Immigration is a question of civilization.
During the panel, which was held with Israeli-American philosopher Yoram Hazony, who directs the Herzl Institute in Jerusalem, Orbán stressed that those whose asylum applications are pending must wait outside the borders. The leader of Hungary stated that the illegitimacy of crossing the border illegally is easy to understand, since it is an illegal act and illegal border crossing is not a human right, but a crime.
«In Hungary, the border is the border, and anyone who does not have the right to enter the country does not cross the border«Orbán stated. ·This is the most important issue, this is the red line. If this is not achieved throughout Europe, immigration will not be resolved.
Europe is a continent with Christian roots, but the majority of those who now want to come to Europe come from other cultures, mainly of Muslim origin. Furthermore, immigration has a historical horizon that extends indefinitely, so it is worth asking what Hungary will be like in the future, whether it will be Christian, Muslim or of another cultural origin.
Orbán said that everyone must decide for themselves what kind of environment and culture do you want to create, but no one should impose their will on others. Hungary believes that the “mixed society” outlined by liberals is not a good way forward.
According to the Prime Minister, we cannot determine how each country solves the problem of an aging society from a centralized position in Brussels. According to Hungary, forcing immigration is not the answer to aging. Hungary wants, among other things, to improve the situation through a strong family support systemhe claimed.
He stressed that conservative governments, including Hungary, which Brussels leaders say “are not behaving properly”, are being blackmailed, and the European Commission has become a political actor rather than a guardian of EU treaties. EU. The real reason for EU leaders’ push for immigration, she said, is that liberals want to gather new voters and transform society according to their own vision.
