Viktor Orban attacks the “mixing of races” between Europeans and non-Europeans

Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orban, has charged against “race mixing” in Europe. The ultranationalist leader said that due to the high number of immigrantswhich he attributed to the policy of a supposed “internationalist left”, the countries of Western Europe “are no longer nations”.

These statements have taken place in the Romanian town of Baile Tusnad, in an act organized by the Hungarian minority from Romania. “There are countries where non-European peoples are mixed with Europeans, while in Central Europe (only) Europeans remain. We are not of mixed races and we don’t want to be either,” Orban stressed.

Thus, among his numerous predictions, he warned that “the time will come when we will have to welcome Christians (from Western Europe), but that will be the task of our children, we will have to prepare them.” Furthermore, the Hungarian president again accused Brussels and the tycoon George Soros of wanting to “force” Hungary “to receive non-European immigrants”, and reiterated its harsh policy against immigration.

Also, as reported euronews, Orban assured that the Hungarians do not want to be mestizos mixed with non-Europeans. He also took advantage of this forum in the center of Romania designed for ethnic Hungarians to discuss political issues to put the left-right struggle in gender and migration issues.

“There is a war, an energy crisis and war inflation, and all this draws a screen before our eyes. It draws a screen between us and gender and migration. In fact, the future revolves around these issues. This is the great historical battle we are waging: demographics, migration, and gender. This is precisely what is at stake in the left-right struggle.” Although this is not the first time that Orban has made such comments, these statements were formulated in terms of extreme right.

How could it be otherwise, these racist comments in the forum held in Dancing Tusnad have spawned a lot of rejection. In addition, we must remember that it was precisely in this summer camp where in 2014 he said for the first time that he wanted to build an “illiberal democracy” in Hungary.

Criticism of these statements by the Hungarian president has come above all from his opposition. For example, Katalin Cseeh, an MEP from the opposition Momentum party, made it appear she was horrified by the prime minister’s speech. “His statements of hers are reminiscent of a time that I think we would all like to forget. They really show the true colors of the regime,” she tweeted.

Romanian MEP Alin Mituța he also responded angrily to Orban’s comments. But these were not the only statements Orban made.

The Hungarian president also described as imperialist and “dangerous” the proposal that decisions in EU foreign policy be taken by a majority of the Twenty-seven, rather than the currently required consensus. “The proposal to modify the decision-making system, in order to be able to carry out European foreign policy with a simple majority, is very dangerous,” Orban explained.

If “you want to force a country into a foreign policy that it does not want, you have to call it imperialism,” said the president. It should be noted that, precisely in line with these statements, andhe conservative government of Orban has several times blocked decisions of the European Council.

An example is when, when adopting the sixth package of sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, he conditioned his vote on the exclusion of the Russian Patriarch Kirill from those sanctioned, or exceptions for his country on the partial oil embargo adopted at that time. Considered the greatest ally of the Russian presidentVladimir Putin, in the community bloc, Orban, has repeatedly criticized the sanctions on the Kremlin as counterproductive, although he has so far adhered to them.

In addition, Hungary once again distanced itself from its European partners by sending its Foreign Minister to Moscow by surprise to ask Russia to sell more gasa position opposed to the rest of the member countries that try at all costs to reduce their energy dependence on the Eurasian giant.
