Hungary becoming ’emigrant country’ at stake, says Vona in Transylvania
Change language:
The true stake in the April 8 general election is whether or not Hungary becomes a “source of emigration”, Jobbik party leader Gábor Vona said on Saturday.
“If the incumbent government remains in office, further hundreds of thousands will probably leave Hungary,” Vona told a press conference in Cluj-Napoca/Kolozsvár, adding that his party offered the only hope for preventing that trend.
Should Jobbik come to power in April, it will protect Hungary from immigrants, set up a border guard, and reject the mandatory migrant quotas, he said.
Vona stressed the need to put an end to what he called Orbán’s “autocratic, anti-democratic rule”.
Paying a one-day trip to Romania’s Transylvania region inhabited by many ethnic Hungarians, Vona’s schedule also included visits to Targu Mures/Marosvásárhely and Odorheiu Secuiesc/Székelyudvarhely to expound his party’s programme, and particularly its approach to ethnic Hungarian minorities, in public forums.
He will also collect signatures for the Minority SafePack initiative.
Vona said that in its policy towards Hungarian communities abroad, Jobbik will retain all achievements of the Orbán government, including the voting rights of dual citizens and Hungarian government support for ethnic Hungarian schools, universities, business, churches and institutions.
Vona said Jobbik would continue to support the Hungarian communities’ autonomy endeavours, too.
@JOBBIK,
NEWSFLASH, Hungary has seen at least 3 major exoduses in the last century, WW1, WW2, SOVIETs – 1956. Hungary has emmigrated, hence diaspora! With the current economic advantages of working outside of Hungary for a time knowing you won’t get ahead staying back, but knowing you probably won’t be able to retire outside. What is JOBBIKs big plan to curb it.. Just stupid talk, thought so. At least FIDESZ has been constantly out selling the countries talents and businesses and seeking ventures plus promoting financial exchanges between other governments and Hungary.
