The Hungarian Prime Minister speaks before the plenary in Strasbourg “to defend Hungary which has been a member of the European family for a thousand years”

STRASBOURG – After partially anticipating his speech with several posts on his Facebook profile, the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán spoke today in Strasbourg at the European Parliament hearing on Sargentini report in which it will be decided whether or not to sanction Budapest on violation of the rule of law. “You have already formed an idea about this relationship, and my intervention will not change your opinion, but I came anyway. You will not condemn a government, but Hungary which has been a member of the European family for a thousand years. I'm here to defend my homeland”, said the Hungarian prime minister, who defended his actions above all due to the broad consensus that his government receives at home. And really comforted by internal consensus, Orban had no problem taking sides directly against the European institutions: “Hungary will be condemned because it has decided that it will not be a homeland for immigration. But we will not accept threats and blackmail from pro-immigration forces: we will defend our borders, we will stop illegal immigration against you too, if necessary”. The leader of Fidesz, who is part of the European People's Party family in Brussels, he stated how the measures on immigration were taken on the basis of the will expressed by the Hungarian people: “We are the ones who defend our borders and only we can decide who to live with. We stopped hundreds and thousands of illegal migrants and defended Hungary and Europe. The Hungarians have decided that our homeland will not be a country of immigration.". Read More

For the Minister of the Interior, currently what works “decently” it is the agreement with Tunisia, “we organize two charters a week for around eighty expulsions. If we expel Tunisians every week, Nigerians and a hundred others, it takes us eighty years to recover the five, be, 700 thousand immigrants who have entered in recent years.

And so this is a dossier I'm working on, on some countries – says the Northern League leader again – we are already quite far ahead,.
