 Viktor Orbán announces his vision for a stable Europe that defends
Christian values
------------------------------
Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán recently announced a new 'Patriots for Europe'
bloc in the European Parliament. The goal is to combat the 'green poison'
of the 'Brussels elite' and to defend the traditional family and national
sovereignty.

(LifeSiteNews <https://www.lifesitenews.com/>) — As Hungary assumed
<https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/council-eu/presidency-council-eu/> the
rotating presidency of the European Union on July 1, self-styled “Christian
illiberal democracy” leader Viktor Orbán has announced a new vision for
Europe.

“What Europeans want is three things: peace, order, and development,” Orbán
said on June 30. “And what they are getting from the elite in Brussels
today is war, migration, and stagnation.”

Orbán addressed a huge <https://x.com/zoltanspox/status/1797273472877412414>
pro-peace rally earlier in June in Hungary and has called for the return
<https://x.com/WETHEKINGDQMQ98/status/1766427057687236871> of Donald Trump
to the U.S. presidency to secure peace in the world. Yet these are not
values shared by the E.U., nor in the wider liberal-global West.

Ahead of a peace mission to Russia, Orbán said
<https://x.com/annanemtsova/status/1809553406031257680> “I wish to be a
tool in God’s hands” to promote an end to the war in Ukraine. On his return
from Russia, he said <https://x.com/dana916/status/1810127318054007267> the
search for an end to the conflict was “my Christian duty.”
Western ‘values’

Orbán said
<https://nationalfile.com/viktor-orban-western-values-mean-three-things-migration-lgbtq-and-war/>
last summer that “Western values mean three things: LGBTQ, migration, and
war.”

Now Orbán has embarked on a peace mission to Ukraine, Russia, and China,
and has launched a new patriotic group to secure “Europe for the Europeans.”

Germany’s newspaper of record *Die Welt *reported
<https://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/plus252403322/Viktor-Orban-im-Interview-Mit-Angela-Merkel-waere-es-nie-zu-einer-Invasion-Russlands-gekommen.html>
on Orbán’s shuttle diplomacy, which has angered E.U. leaders in supplanting
their firmly pro-war position. According to *Die Welt*, Orbán said, “China
has a peace plan, America has a war policy, and Europe, instead of having
its own strategic approach, is simply copying the American position.”

Columbia Professor Jeffrey Sachs described
<https://x.com/BalazsOrban_HU/status/1810353716824015057> Orbán’s bid for
peace as a “ray of light.”

“PM Orbán’s peace mission is a ray of light for the world at a time of
warfare by the U.S. and its European disciples,” he said.

Of course, no good deed goes unpunished. Accordingly, Euronews reports
<https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/07/09/could-hungarian-pm-orban-face-consequences-for-his-diplomatic-world-tour>
how “the Hungarian autocrat has popped up in in Kyiv, Moscow, and Beijing
just as his country takes over the presidency of the Council of the E.U.”
Outraged by his <https://x.com/PM_ViktorOrban/status/1810085572758634995>
“peace mission 3.0” to China, there is talk of cutting short Hungary’s
tenure as E.U. president nation.

Why would the pro-war E.U. globalists be offended by Christian duty?

“This is a strategic campaign to ridicule the European Union and to show
that PM Orbán can make all these uncoordinated moves which are clear
violations of the E.U.’s common and agreed positions, and does not have to
fear negative consequences,” Daniel Hegedüs, researcher at the German
Marshall Fund, told Euronews.

“On the one hand, this expands his future room for maneuver and future
political autonomy, but on the other hand it seriously undermines the
perception of E.U. foreign policy among key partners.”

Hegedus’s claim that Orbán’s move makes the European Union seem more
ridiculous is a difficult position to defend. Its own “common and agreed
positions” have resulted in economic, political and military instability.
Orbán described
<https://www.aa.com.tr/en/politics/hungarian-premier-blasts-brusselian-bureaucratic-nonsense-on-russia-ukraine-war/3267652>
these E.U. policies as “bureaucratic nonsense.”

Of course, a fact check from somebody such as E.U. Chief Commissioner
Ursula von der Leyen’s European Democracy Shield
<https://x.com/vonderleyen_epp/status/1792569693242352120> would be certain
to uphold the charge against Orbán’s appeal for sanity and for security.

The unelected E.U. head, who has just secured
<https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/27/ursula-von-der-leyen-wins-second-term-as-european-commission-president>
a second term in office thanks to her robust
<https://www.politico.eu/article/ursula-von-der-leyen-military-defense-slimate-second-term/>
pro-war stance, has recently launched this risibly-named campaign to
protect E.U. citizens from exactly the kind of Christian values defended by
Orbán – and the wider reality-based community of European populists.

Manifesto for a European future

On the eve of the six-month E.U. presidency of Hungary, Orbán announced
<https://x.com/laszloan/status/1807405638407884848> a new “Patriots for
Europe” bloc in the European Parliament. This was to combat the “green
poison” of the “Brussels elite,” which Orbán said was “not a democratic
construct.”

Orbán has faced down attacks on his “illiberal Christian democracy” by the
globalist-liberal E.U. since <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdjYp2YtQL4>
2013.

In his June 30 address, he stated that it was the duty of the three main
parties of Hungary, Austria, and the Czech Republic to “stop illegal
migration, advocate the traditional family,” and “defend national
sovereignty.”

“We believe that this is the day when the change in European politics
begins,” Orbán said, introducing a new politics for the future.

The manifesto of Patriots for Europe states that Europe is at a “turning
point.”

… the nations of Europe have arrived at a historic turning point. The
European Union, once a dream project rooted in a desire for reconciliation
after the devastation caused by two world wars and decades of division, has
turned against Europeans and now represents interests that are at odds with
the will of nations, regions and the small communities that make up our
European homeland.

On Monday, Orbán’s Fidesz party announced
<https://x.com/FideszEP/status/1810409608894087564> the Patriots for Europe
bloc now had 84 E.U. members of parliament (MEPs) from 12 nations. Jordan
Bardella, MEP and head of the French National Rally in the European
Parliament, has been appointed leader of the group.

German outlet *Die Welt* reported that, in response, left-wingers and
greens have combined
<https://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/article252423224/EU-Parlament-Sozialdemokraten-und-Gruene-fordern-Brandmauer-gegen-neue-Rechtsaussen-Fraktion.html>
to form a “firewall” to shut out the politics of Christian sanity from the
E.U.

These developments come alongside an attempt at serious diplomacy which has
humiliated the E.U., whose diplomats and liberal leaders remain steadfastly
committed
<https://www.politico.eu/article/viktor-orban-hungary-council-of-the-eu-presidency-vladimir-putin-russia-volodymyr-zelenskyy-ukraine/>
to prolonging – and even escalating – the war in Ukraine.

It is clear that a politically paralyzed Europe can now no longer ignore
Orbán calling out the sanophobia and normophobia of liberal-globalist
politics. Pro-war E.U. globalists have raged
<https://www.politico.eu/article/viktor-orban-hungary-council-of-the-eu-presidency-vladimir-putin-russia-volodymyr-zelenskyy-ukraine/>
at Orbán’s peace mission, and his call
<https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/30/make-europe-great-again-hungary-sets-scene-eu-presidency>
to “Make Europe Great Again.”
Eurocrats on Xanax?

Now Orbán’s dedication to replacing the machinery of death with that of
life is driving some liberal Eurocrats to drugs.

“I take pills to calm myself when I talk about this issue because it’s
getting really ridiculous,” said a senior E.U. diplomat according to the
U.K.’s *Guardian
<https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/30/make-europe-great-again-hungary-sets-scene-eu-presidency>.
*“At every turn of the road you see the Hungarians hampering Ukraine’s
ability to fight an aggressor.”

The pill-induced coping was accompanied
<https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/30/make-europe-great-again-hungary-sets-scene-eu-presidency>
by much seething.

At a meeting of foreign affairs ministers last month [June], frustrations
boiled over when ministers confronted their Kremlin-decorated
<https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/31/viktor-orban-hungarian-pm-vladimir-putin-moscow-russia-visit>
counterpart,
Péter Szijjártó, over Hungary’s obstruction.

‘Almost all our decisions and needed discussions are being blocked by one
country,’ said Lithuania’s foreign minister, Gabrielius Landsbergis, who
accused Budapest of a ‘systematic approach towards any efforts by the E.U.
to have any meaningful role in foreign affairs.’

It is a staple of history that German-Russian relations decide the relative
security of Europe. In seeking to characterize any attempt to normalize
relations with Russia as treason, these liberals are making permanent
instability a matter not only of policy – but also of honor. Hungary is to
be applauded for keeping these people out of foreign affairs.

‘Blockmail’

Accordingly, the liberals have done much to lock down the Hungarian
Christian menace.

The E.U. has blocked
<https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/05/eu-must-not-appease-viktor-orban-by-unfreezing-billions-earmarked-for-hungary>
27 billion euros from reaching Orbán’s Hungary. The “unfreezing” of some 10
billion in January 2024 led to outrage
<https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20240112IPR16780/the-hungarian-government-threatens-eu-values-institutions-and-funds-meps-say>
in the European Parliament, which sued
<https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/03/14/european-parliament-sues-commission-over-the-release-of-102-billion-in-frozen-funds-to-hun>
the E.U. Commission for doing so. The funds were released to secure
Hungarian support
<https://www.politico.eu/article/commission-unblocks-e10-2-billion-for-hungary-as-eu-tries-to-sway-viktor-orban-on-ukraine/>
for financing the Ukraine war, with a further
<https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/eu-leaders-seek-deal-fund-ukraine-hungary-digs-heels-2024-02-01/>
$54 billion sent to Volodymyr Zelensky in February.

Up to 19 billion euros in E.U. funding remains frozen over the Hungarian
government’s refusal
<https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jun/15/hungary-passes-law-banning-lbgt-content-in-schools>
to repeal “anti-LGBT” child protection laws, and open its well-policed
borders.

Orbán’s Fidesz is pro-family, not pro-rainbow. You can have one or the
other, and Orbán has chosen to defend and strengthen the family. This is
the main reason funds have been frozen to Hungary. A secret E.U. plan to
“sabotage the Hungarian economy” was reported
<https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/29/secret-eu-plan-to-sabotage-hungarian-economy-revealed-as-anger-mounts-at-orban>
in January 2024. Yet E.U. hatred of the Hungarian model has a long history.
Why the E.U. hates Orbán

In 2017, a member of Orbán’s party told
<https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/10/10/whos-afraid-of-george-soros/> the
Hungarian Parliament it was their “Christian duty to fight against the
Soros/Satan plan.” Soros’ Open Society Foundations were effectively
expelled from Hungary following a June 2018 “Stop Soros” law
<https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2021/11/16/hungary-move-to-criminalise-support-of-asylum-seekers-infringes-eu-law>,
which saw the OSF University
<https://www.reuters.com/article/us-hungary-soros-ceu-move/soros-founded-school-says-forced-out-of-hungary-on-dark-day-for-europe-idUSKBN1O218Z/>
close down.

Orbán’s announcement
<https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/07/viktor-orban-hungary-preserve-christian-culture>
in 2018 that he seeks to establish an “illiberal Christian democracy” in
Hungary was met with horror by the E.U.

As the E.U. moved to freeze Hungary’s funding in December 2019, Zoltan
Kovacs said the E.U. was dancing to the tune of the “Soros orchestra” in
doing so.

Kovacs, who is the Hungarian government’s international spokesman, also
correctly predicted the process was designed never to end.

Five years later, 19 billion euros earmarked for Hungary remain
<https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/30/make-europe-great-again-hungary-sets-scene-eu-presidency>
frozen by the E.U.
The price of peace and family values
