Fidesz: we fight for freedom with clear reasoning instead of blood
Change language:
The Brussels representative office of the Foundation for a Civic Hungary has organised a conference dubbed Freedom at which conservative and Christian Democrat members of the European Parliament exchanged their opinion in Brussels on Tuesday.
Tamás Deutsch, the head of ruling Fidesz’s EP delegation, said that Hungarians regard freedom as the most important value. “We will protect this freedom the same way we protected it over the past one thousand years,” Deutsch said.
Over history, “others always wanted to tell us and force upon us how we should live, what religion we should follow, what form of state we should have, what language we should learn as a mandatory second language and what sort of relations we should maintain with other nations,” he added.
“Even in the 21st century, there are some who think that they can take our freedom away. There are still some who believe that only what they think is right,”
Deutsch said.
“The battlefield for fighting for freedom has changed and the tools they use for exerting pressure are different,” he said. “The tools they use include introducing rule of law conditions, organising hearings in Brussels, open society, introducing financial and legal sanctions, same-sex marriage, NGO campaigns and indoctrination in almost every area,” he added.
Fidesz MEP Balázs Hidvéghi said that “30 years after the collapse of communist dictatorship, they are increasingly curtailing our freedoms in the EU”. The aim of the EU is not clear but there are sovereign nation states in Europe that should be working together, he said. “The arrogance of EU institutions, especially of the European Commission and the EP, gradually undermines mutual trust, making cooperation impossible,” he said. Hidveghi said the majority still believe in the importance of traditions but the left wing has deserted them because of rejecting radical ideas.

central Europe was a region that had suffered the greatest losses in the 20th century with its nations incited against one another.
“But now, in the 21st century we must focus on what binds us together,” she said. Central Europeans love freedom and they insist on their traditional culture and values, all of which they had fought for in communist times, Gal said.
The West gave up on freedom a long time ago. It is up to us.
Let Belarus be a lesson for Brussels. Any interference in local elections by the US or Brussels is unacceptable. It is time for the US and the EU to stay out of the affairs of Hungary. Hungary never had a scandal in its election. The last US election is still being questioned y 30% of the population. The German election was also a failure. There was no majority government. The party that elected the majority of members will not be able to rule because it owed allegiance to supporting parties. The present government is open for a failure.
I would say that the US election is questioned by more than 50% of the population and growing.
