Quote du Jour | Tegen de internationale

We kennen Viktor Orbán inmiddels als fervent nationalist die Hongaarse belangen boven alles stelt. In zijn State of the Nation van afgelopen week zet hij zich vooral af  tegen internationale ontwikkelingen die zijn christelijke natie bedreigen.

Thirty years ago we thought that we had consigned the communist way of thinking – which advocated the end of nations and a supranational world – to the dustbin of history. It seems that we were wrong. Today the slogan is the same: “The Internationale shall be the human race!” They are advocating a world without nations again, they want open societies, and they are fabricating a supranational world government. And again we have here those who wiped away our traditions, and would flood our countries with an alien culture. Thirty years after the fall of communism, on the eve of a pan-European parliamentary election, Europe finds itself in the position that we must stand up again for our Hungarian identity, for our Christian identity, protect our families and communities, and also protect our freedom.(…)

This is how the European Left has become the advocate of speculators, world citizenship, world government and, most recently, of global migration, taking on the role of the gravedigger of nations, the family and the Christian way of life. Since George Soros appointed a socialist called Timmermans as the leader of the pro-immigration troops the fight has become open. He leads the list of pro-immigration politicians. Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, this is what the European elections are about, this is what Brussels is preparing for.

Voorlopig weet Orbán zich nog altijd gedekt door zijn Europese partijgenoten, de Europese Volkspartij EPP waar ook het CDA deel van uitmaakt. En door zijn collega-premiers van de lidstaten die nog altijd geen gevolg geven aan de conclusies die in het Europees parlement vorig jaar zijn getrokken over de ‘staat van de natie’ Hongarije.
