Orban: EU Elections ‘Will Decide Christian Culture or Multicultural
Future For Europe’, by Jack Montgomery, 4/8/19, Breitbart.
Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán has launched his
party’s EU Parliament elections campaign, depicting the upcoming contest as a
continent-wide clash between pro-borders, pro-sovereignty insurgents and the
forces of open borders globalism.
“Will Europe remain European or will we give way to the masses coming from other cultures?” he asked.
“Will Europe remain European or will we give way to the masses coming from other cultures?” he asked.
The Fidesz leader said
the May elections — in which the United Kingdom may have to participate despite
voting for Brexit almost three years ago, due to Prime Minister Theresa May’s
repeated efforts to delay it — would be an occasion where “Europe
will choose its future“.
“We will decide whether
we protect our Christian European culture or give way to multiculturalism.” This
decision will take the form of a relatively straight choice across all EU
member-states, in Prime Minister Orbán’s view, falling “between EU leaders
from the pro-immigration parties or from those that oppose immigration.”
The Hungarian leader has
made it very clear which side of the fence he sits on, making efforts to build bridges with
Italy’s populist Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Matteo
Salvini, whose League (Lega) party could become the largest in the European
Parliament if current polling proves accurate.
While Prime Minister Orbán
still appears willing to back a clean break with the EU, as some of his
Brexiteer admirers hope, he has adopted an increasingly critical position on
the bloc in advance of the elections, making it clear that he sees them as a
chance to push for much-needed reform.
“Hungarians, who have
been protecting Europe for a thousand years, want the EU, but we are fed up
with the way things are going in Brussels,” he said.
“We are not willing to
do what Brussels dictates if that is not good for Hungarians.”
To that end, he as set
out a seven-point plan for change, which he hopes a newly populist-conservative
tinged European Parliament may help to achieve if an electoral breakthrough is
made:
1. The management of migration must be taken away
from the Brussels bureaucrats and given back to the national governments.
2. We must say clearly that no country would be
required to accept migrants against its will.
3. Nobody should be admitted to Europe without
valid identification and documents.
4. We must abolish the pre-paid migrant cards and the migrant visa.
5. Brussel should not give more funding to the NGOs
funded by George Soros
6. In Europe, no one should be discriminated
against because they declare themselves Christian
7. That those who have the right to decide, rather
the European Parliament and the European Council, decide that leaders who
oppose immigration head up the EU institutions.
The European Parliament
elections will run from Thursday, May 23rd, to Sunday, May 26th.
