According to Salil Shetty, Secretary General of Amnesty International: “The elites are executing a plan to take away the most important thing the ordinary people have: their identity, their community, their rootedness.”
Amnesty When we listen to the political pulse of Hungary, we hear that the country is in the very centre of a battle for the soul of Europe.
On one side of that struggle is a so-called “transnational elite” – a globalised, internationalist and liberal intelligentsia. It is big business, it’s the liberal media, it’s the bureaucrats of Brussels, it’s George Soros, it’s NGOs. It is the cabal working together to establish an elitist global agenda.
On the other side of the struggle is the ordinary, patriotic, traditional Christian working man. And caught in the middle are the mostly Muslim migrants seeking entry into Europe, unwitting agents of a plan to change the demographic face of Europe forever.
This is Prime Minister Orbán’s new European politics. A politics, as he said, “on the side of the patriots”. A proud patriotic illiberalism. And where the Hungarian government has led, others have followed.
Prime Minister Orbán’s idea of security as identity is manifested also in his government’s approach to counter-terrorism. This month a government survey has been circulated condemning Amnesty International’s defence of Ahmed H. He is a migrant from Syria who was convicted of terrorism after using a megaphone to ask that police communicate with refugees and migrants at the border, and after throwing three solid objects at police.
These actions were interpreted as an attempt to force state authorities to allow the irregular entry of refugees and migrants into Hungary.
In spite of this, Hungary is not xenophobic. It is fundamentally untrue to claim a single Hungarian culture as the country protects in law thirteen recognized national and ethnic minorities and enables their political participation.
Second, there is the values strand of this new patriotism. This is the idea that the country cannot sustain a multiplicity of values frameworks. “Opposing ideologies and values cannot be simultaneously upheld, as they are mutually exclusive,” to quote the Prime Minister again. Instead, there is a binary choice. A choice, as Prime Minister Orbán presents it, between “traditional indigenous Christians and the incoming Muslim communities”.
So we have two sets of values playing against each other: the traditional Christian values of Hungary, and an alien “migrant culture”. The homogenous Christian nation versus the homogenous culture of migrants.
This may seem compelling because it gives total moral clarity. One is authentic, the other is destabilizing. And it means the government is totally justified in keeping out masses of non-Judeo-Christian refugees and migrants because that is what the people want. The people are fed up and fearful of the other, the foreigner.
The European attitudes survey of the Hungarian government found that 81% of EU nationals thought immigration to be a serious or very serious issue, and 59% believed that immigration changed the culture they lived in (endnote for the better).
Prime Minister Orbán says that the main question in Europe is this: “Will Europe remain the continent of the Europeans? Will Hungary remain the country of the Hungarians?”
Whether you like Orban or not, he is not messing around with the Muzzrats and kicks them right back to where they belong.
The reason that hungary is so nice and clean is that there are no nwo,ngo,lgbtq… or migrantlovers. The eu is cracking down on hungary and sad but true orban (hungarys pres.) is giving way slowly but surely and as soon as one of these orgs come then they start to destroy your state by changing laws and missusing the youth of the country, for an example see germany were phantasy and ideology rule. This you achive through installing people that are uneducated and they have not worked a day in their lives. These uneducated you see in germanys high places and soon you see what phantasy and ideology can do to a nation.
me I would settle for things the way they were before Edward “Ted” Kennedy 65 democrat showed up … When the U.S. Congress passed—and President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law—the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965, the move was largely seen as symbolic. “The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants,” lead supporter Sen. Edward “Ted” Kennedy (D-Mass.) told the Senate during debate. “It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. { It will not relax the standards of admission.”} It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs … Beware Hungry you das not get to democratic and forget you are a constitutional republic
BLR, I don’t think many people know about what Teddy did back then with that despicable Act. He made it nearly impossible for White Europeans to immigrate to the US. It took my nephew’s British fiancé more than 2 years to get a resident visa. She married him while still on a tourist visa. Her father was president of British Petroleum at the time and he asked Tony Blair use his influence to help get her an American visa, which he did.
yes Kennedy stabbed a fatal trust to our promise of the american dream of exceptionalism to introduce mediocrity overnight a democrat disease no country can thrive under let alone missing and excluding the talent it needs to survive
Apparently, with few exceptions, culling a genuinely patriotic politician from the current crop of hacks who will put America First, will be futile. Instead, we might opt for changing Article II, Sec. 1 of the U.S. Constitution…Netanyahu for President and Orban for VP.
LOL! Great idea.
