Viktor Orbán: Immigration as Voter Import
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán delivered a powerful keynote speech during the second day of the National Conservatism (NatCon) Brussels conference. He addressed the incident when Brussels officials attempted to shut down the conference the day before.
Orbán highlighted three key points as to why Hungary, despite being a small nation, took the lead in confronting the European liberal majority. Firstly, he criticized the European officials for creating a financial system during the COVID pandemic to blackmail countries that did not align ideologically, citing Poland and Hungary as examples. He denounced the EU’s attempts to financially suffocate Hungary and Poland for their positions on gender ideology and migration.
Secondly, Orbán criticized the politicization of the European Commission under President Ursula von der Leyen’s rule, stating that they had deviated from their role as guardians of European treaties. He emphasized the need for conservative civic societies to fight for freedom in the face of increasing oppression in European countries.
Lastly, Orbán underscored Hungary’s role as an “island of difference” in a progressive liberal European ocean. He called for a change in EU leadership in the upcoming European Parliament elections, citing the failure of the current leadership to deliver on promises such as tackling the migration crisis and promoting environmental sustainability.
The Prime Minister also addressed the issue of illegal migration, stating that Hungary has a fair and strict system in place to control its borders. He emphasized the importance of preserving Hungary’s Christian heritage and traditions, expressing concerns about the clash of civilizations that mass migration poses.
Orbán also touched upon Hungary’s demographic challenges and family policies, highlighting the government’s efforts to support families and increase birth rates. He criticized liberals for using mass migration as a tool to collect votes, rather than genuinely addressing demographic issues.
Regarding Hungary’s relationship with Russia, Orbán clarified that Hungary’s geopolitical strategy aims to maintain good economic relations while respecting Ukraine’s sovereignty. He explained the complexities of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, emphasizing the need for a realistic approach to the situation.
In conclusion, Orbán called for the preservation of Christian values, national sovereignty in decision-making, and the protection of Hungary’s cultural heritage. He reiterated the importance of defending borders, upholding traditional values, and fostering a strong sense of national identity in the face of external pressures.
