Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has said the upcoming European parliamentary election will be about a struggle for values and cultures and a lot is at stake.
During a forum held on Sunday, PM Orbán said Hungary’s opportunities were vast but there were also serious threats, the first being migration.
The prime minister said elections in Austria and Italy showed that whereas there are forces promoting migration and multiculturalism, there are those who are anti-migration and prioritize Christian culture.
He added that Brussels, representing a globalist immigration culture, has weakened the European Union, and it was unable to stop Brexit, which he attributed to migration and the dilution of European culture.
The prime minister said the Hungarian people had handed the government a great opportunity during the election and the government derived “strength from representing them”.
“We imagine our future within Europe and within the EU, but Hungary comes first for us,” he said. Hungary’s interest lies in protecting national sovereignty and the equality of the peoples of Europe, he added. “We have our homeland and our country, and we’re not going to give it away to anybody,” PM Orbán concluded.
