Hungary’s Orban has the international Left in
panic mode

Invasion of Europe News….And, you can tell by this
article at HuffPo that
paints him as an “authoritarian” that they are very afraid of him and his
growing “nationalist” power in Eastern Europe. They also see him exporting his
views (about especially Muslim migration) to other European countries like
Italy, Austria and (gasp!) even Germany.
One of Hungarian Prime Minister
Orban’s greatest strengths is his willingness to speak (as Trump did yesterday) straightforwardly. Muslim refugees are invaders.
I’m still waiting for President Trump to invite Orban to the White
House. If he wants to push the Left (and CNN) over the cliff (into a mental
breakdown) now, that would do it.
In a January 8th interview with Germany’s Bild newspaper, Hungary’s
Prime Minister Viktor Orban, said “we don’t see these people as Muslim
refugees. We see them as invaders.” Multi-culturalism, he said, is an illusion.
Muslim culture, he continued, is so different from Europe’s that parallel
societies are being created.
Orban’s anti-migrant campaign is resonating beyond central Europe into
Austria, Italy and even Germany. Earlier
this month he was welcomed at a conference of Bavaria’s
Christian Socialists, whose leader Horst Seehofer is critical of Chancellor
Angela Merkel’s immigration policies. In 2015 over 1 million mostly Muslim
refugees were resettled in Germany. About 150,000 of those refugees transited
Hungary. Few wanted to stay in Hungary.
Orban has made common cause with neighboring Poland, Slovakia and the
Czech Republic where public opinion opposes refugee resettlement. Hungary and Poland are being targeted by the European Union
Commission for refusing a quota of 10,000 refugees under a burden sharing
measure agreed to three years ago. The case is before the European Court of
Justice. Since the 2015 migration crisis Poland has accepted no refugees while
Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Austria have each taken fewer than
twenty.
The Fidesz Party that Orban founded holds a two-thirds majority in
parliament and is favored to win new elections set for April 8th. Orban has
ruled Hungary with an increasingly authoritarian hand since 2010.
HuffPo writer Barry Wood throws
everything at Orban he can think of that would paint the man as a monster (eg.
“flame-thrower” with close ties to Russia), and then goes on to say this below,
as if we would all be shocked, that Orban doesn’t like that nice old man—George
Soros (I bet HuffPo gets a bit of moola from Budapest-born, György
Schwartz).
Wood continues: During a visit to
Budapest in November I was startled to see posters bearing the image of
billionaire Hungarian-born investor and philanthropist George Soros all over
the city. Paid for
by Fidesz, these ubiquitous posters tell Hungarians not to let Soros have the
last laugh. Soros is the favorite target of Orban, representing everything he
opposes—multiculturalism, diversity, globalization, and tolerance. Soros is
accused of wanting to Muslimize Europe. Some Jewish groups see the campaign as
anti-Semitic, others do not. More here.
Come on Donald! Give us some more fun! Welcome Viktor Orban to the
White House and give him a lavish State Dinner! (Stick it to Soros too!
You know he hates you!)
Looking for something to do? Write to the White House and tell the Prez you want to see Orban invited to the White
House (and have him bring his lovely family)!
