FM: Hungary is a conservative and patriotic island in an extremely liberal ocean

 

Speaking at the CPAC Hungary conference in Budapest, Minister Szijjártó said the government will carry on protecting the country’s sovereignty despite being “constantly under siege” and on the receiving end of constant attacks, adding that the liberal mainstream could not “stomach” that every general election in Hungary since 2010 had resulted in a conservative supermajority in parliament. He said Hungary’s economy was constantly breaking records despite it not being allowed access to the billions of euros it was entitled to. “And… despite the constant attacks, we have never given up on representing our national interests or our sovereignty,” he said. Hungarians were the only ones who had a right to decide who could or could not enter their country, so Hungary will stick to its strong protection of its borders, Szijjártó said. Regarding Hungary’s thousand-year Christian statehood, he said it was Christianity that had helped the country survive every occupation, period of oppression and dictatorship. Hungary also insists that marriage is a union between a man and a woman and that the father is a man and the mother a woman, he added.
