Politics in Europe > Hungary, the only country in Europe not Hell-bent on cultural suicide

 

Orban: ‘There is not enough money in the world to 

force us to accept mass migration and LGBTQ activists’

Few politicians in Western free societies are upholding the rule of law and genuine republican rule. Nor are many politicians interested in protecting national security and the religious rights of Christians and serving the populace as they were elected to do. One of the few is Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who refuses to be bought and bullied.  For years, he’s been ganged up on by the woke and reckless European Union, yet he remains courageous and resolute (like Trump). In addition, both take a strong stand against Christian persecution.

Hungary won’t back down and change LGBTQ+ and

asylum policies criticized by EU, minister says

by Justin Spike, Associated Press, January 18, 2024:

Hungary’s government will not change policies the European Union believes infringe on LGBTQ+ rights and those of asylum seekers, even if doing so would unfreeze billions in funding the bloc has withheld from Budapest, a government minister said Thursday.

The EU has frozen funding to Hungary over concerns its right-wing nationalist government has trampled on minority rights and academic freedoms, failed to rein in official corruption and undermined democratic values.

The release of those funds has been tied to Hungary carrying out reforms to bring it into line with the EU’s democratic standards.

Gergely Gulyas, chief of staff to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, told a news conference on Thursday there were “limits” to reaching an agreement with the bloc’s executive, since modifying policies on LGBTQ+ and asylum rights would contradict the will of Hungarian voters.

“The Hungarian government is willing to reach an agreement with the Commission, but in cases where people have expressed a clear opinion, it would be undemocratic and unacceptable,” Gulyas said in Budapest, adding that there are “red lines” when it comes to reforms Hungary is willing to make.

“For Hungary, even despite the will of the European Commission, it is unacceptable to spread LGBTQ propaganda among children, and we also cannot abandon our position on migration issues,” Gulyas said.

The EU takes issue with a Hungarian law passed in 2021, which forbids the display of homosexual content to minors in media, including television, films, advertisements and literature.

The law, which has been decried by rights groups and foreign governments as discriminatory, also prohibits the discussion of LGBTQ+ topics in school education programs and forbids public display of products depicting or promoting gender deviation….

God will bless you, Hungary, for your courage and determination. Curiously, the only other European country standing resolutely against the LGBTQ onslaught is Russia.
