Orban: "Preserveremo l'identità cristiana della Nazione, no space for supranational activities"

14 May 2018 by admin

Of Ismaele Rognoni
The day before obtaining the confidence of the Hungarian parliament for the third time in a row, Viktor Orban stated that “the new government's priority will be to preserve national security and Hungary's Christian identity”.
These words come after those of last Friday when in a radio interview Orban underlined how “his executive will continue to work on building an old-fashioned Christian democracy, rooted in European traditions, we believe in the importance of the nation and in Hungary there is no space for any type of supranational activity”.
A further characteristic of previous Orban governments was that of a growing contrast with the world of pro-migrant NGOs. If continuity in this sense were to occur, one of the first laws to be passed could be the so-called 'Anti-Soros' law, guilty, according to his accusers, to support the massive arrival of groups of non-EU migrants on European territory through strong economic support to the NGOs themselves.
