Multiculti has utterly failed
“Multiculturalism has utterly failed, and they want the price to be paid by all member states of the European Union, including Hungary,” stated the Prime Minister on the Fidesz faction Summit, the closing event of the “Stand for Hungary” campaign on Tuesday in Budapest.
The Prime Minister, referring to Mihály Varga’s [Minister of Finance] speech, stated: “A different answer can hardly be given” whether our economy is successful or not. Nobody could deny the improvement of our macroeconomic numbers, but the criticism just does not want to die down, he said; I believe the situation is that ”we are not successful in the way they would want it”. The global elite wants Hungary to be successful, but they want to be in the first place, with only second place for the Hungarians, he explained, and he added: but the government is opposed to that; it wants the first place the Hungarians to enjoy the fruits of economic successes and only second place for the global elite.
Viktor Orbán emphasized: as long as we have unemployed Hungarians, we should not give jobs to anybody else. He explained that he does not share the reasoning that believes letting guest workers into the country would help the economy. This has a cultural and spiritual side too, he explained: there is a difference between when a community — which owns the country — takes care of all the jobs, including the most difficult and the least respected ones, or whether a country looks down on some types of jobs and “passes” them over to others. “If we want Hungary to be a strong nation, first we must give work to everyone and we have to respect all types of jobs,” — explained the Prime Minister, praising the increase in the minimal wage.
At the event, which closed the political season, he also discussed: Two massive historical questions are pushing Europe today. The first is the problem of illegal immigration, which we validly call the modern-day mass migration. The second is what kind of future we are going to have: Brussels’ Europe, or the Nations of Europe, said Viktor Orbán. He added: The stakes are serious, so there are tremendous forces behind each of these issues.
“We are in the middle of two such arguments, which could determine the fate of Europe for decades and permanently,” he stated. He also drew attention to the fact that all over Europe, with the exception of a few countries, unemployment is very high, especially among young people, while only small portions of the migrants have started to work. Crowning the crazy ideas, with some referring to solidarity, they want to distribute the immigrants with mandatory quotas or with the creation of migrant villages to place migrants to every single member state of the EU. Furthermore, they expect cooperation from those countries, whose opinions they did not even ask when they decided to invite masses of migrants into Europe, noted Viktor Orbán.
The Prime Minister insisted: we do not want to participate in the German experiment in the falsification of history, which tries to blame Hungary for letting the migrants into Europe, instead of Germany. Multiculti has utterly failed, and they want its price to be paid by all European Union member states, including Hungary, said the Prime Minister. The migrants were unwisely let into Western countries; now they want to distribute them into countries who defended themselves and did not let them into their territory, for example Hungary, added Viktor Orbán.
