am glad that we can be together again. I always greatly look forward to
this meeting. The true challenge of my speech today has not been one of
content. In fact, as regards thoughts and topics, I’m rather spoilt for
choice. The true challenge was to do justice to this moment in time.
First I had to take account of the fact that this is the 20th “State of
the Nation” address. And also that we are coming to the end of our
second consecutive term in office, after eight years. And then everyone
is on the edge of their seats, because in just forty-nine days’ time the
general election will be upon us. What’s more, this year is the
thirtieth anniversary of our foundation of Fidesz. In the minutes ahead
of me I have to skilfully weave all these themes together. But we have
not come here today to express sympathy for the speakers on account of
their intellectual dilemmas, but to listen to what they want to say.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Ladies and Gentlemen,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">When
we talk about the past eight years, we must be aware that the Hungarian
people are imbued with some strange modesty – or rather false modesty.
In my childhood I noticed that when we had finished planting, and
everything was standing in textbook-perfect rows, the most that my
parents would ever say was “We’re done”. I also remember that when
tradesmen came to our house to repair something, their verdict on their
own work was “It’s serviceable”. They would never say that something
turned out well, and they especially wouldn’t say “I worked well today”
or “We’ve done a great job”. In this there is a certain admirable
restraint, a kind of simple dignity, a reluctance to praise oneself, but
instead let the facts and one’s work do the talking. This is useful,
and fine preparation for the journey of life. In politics, however, this
standard is impossible to uphold. Opponents lack this kind of
diffidence. Disparaging, disgusting and generally unfair accusations are
heaped on us – rarely with any regard for where the boundaries might
be. We shouldn’t follow their example, but neither should we let
ourselves be punch bags. With appropriate modesty and restraint we
should say that this eight years has turned out well. Indeed, we can say
that it has turned out better than we expected. In terms of our
timetable, we are perhaps further forward than we had planned. We
committed ourselves to creating one million new jobs within ten years,
and we have already reached the figure of 736,000. In curbing price
inflation we didn’t envisage such spectacular outcomes. Indeed it’s also
true that, despite all our optimism, we didn’t expect György Matolcsy
to transform the National Bank at such a pace and with such swift
results. Our thanks are due to him for that. Likewise, I only expected
that a high rate of economic growth would enable us to pay pensioners a
pension premium – the first in Hungary’s history – some time at the end
of our tenth year. But that is what we were able to do last Christmas.
Bravo, Mihály Varga! Developments in the national economy and
construction projects are making fast progress – perhaps even too fast.
Wherever we look, we see tower cranes and people working on construction
sites. And I was only secretly hoping that we would be able to pull off
an agreement on pay rises and tax reductions that trade unions,
employers and the Government would all support. But we achieved that as
well. Neither did I think that the Chamber of Agriculture would be able
to reorganise itself so successfully, and that even in agriculture we’d
be able to create so many new jobs. Additionally, small and medium-sized
farms are also gaining in strength more rapidly than one could have
reasonably expected. Thank you, Sándor Fazekas. Another pleasant
surprise is that the number of Roma students in higher education has
doubled. Hats off to Minister Zoltán Balog too!<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Ladies and Gentlemen,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">I
expected – indeed I demanded – that our ministers of economy aim for
full employment, and rescue families with excessive debt from the trap
of foreign currency and other debt. With the introduction of new
regulations they were also expected to ensure that people in Hungary
could never again be cheated into debt, fleeced and forced into lifelong
debt repayment. In other words, I was hoping that we would fix the
economy and set it on an upward course, and that in terms of their
finances everyone would be able take at least one step forward. I did
not expect, however, that within just eight years our way of life, the
way we live – in which culture, sport and education have always played
an important role – would regenerate as fast as it has done. We can
barely build enough tourist facilities, cycle paths, guest-houses and
wellness hotels. The number of those involved in sport has more than
doubled. Figures for theatre-goers have increased by 50 per cent, and
for concert-goers by 100 per cent; and museums, festivals and cinemas
are also nearing full capacity. It’s good to see that, despite every
economic shock, the Hungarian people have remained a nation of culture.
Marriage hasn’t gone out of fashion either. If everything had remained
as it was in 2010, there would now be fifty thousand fewer of us. And
even if we’re still not doing well in terms of demographics, on the
whole this is a fine achievement. All in all, I can say that in this
eight years we have achieved everything that could have been reasonably
expected from us – especially in light of the international headwind
we’ve been experiencing. As far as I see, even taking account of errata,
these past eight years have not only been acceptable, but there are a
number of achievements that we can be proud of. Our wish for Hungary is
that any future eight years can be at least as good as these eight years
have been.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Ladies and Gentlemen,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">I
must also openly say that anyone who claims that Hungary has already
achieved its goals probably doesn’t know what they’re talking about. The
final straight and the finish line are still a long way off. No one in
their right mind disputes that Hungary now makes a better impression and
looks in better shape than it did eight years ago. What’s more, we may
perhaps also agree that Hungary is beginning to resemble a hardworking,
well-organised and decent country. But it still doesn’t quite look as it
should. It’s still not what it could be. It is now doing better, but
still not as well as it could do, judging by its talent. We’re nowhere
near the end of our work, and there’s still plenty to do.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Ladies and Gentlemen,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Let’s
turn to the future. You all know me well, and so you know that I
believe in simple things: in work, family and homeland. In the future
also, this is all I can offer you. I believe that Hungary is a country
where hard work is rewarded: those who work more, earn more. I believe
that families form the unifying backbone of the entire country. I
believe that everyone who commits to having children should be given all
the support possible. I believe that mothers must be respected and
honoured. And I believe that if we do just this, then in the Carpathian
Basin there will be more of us Hungarians, rather than fewer. I believe
that we Hungarians have a future if we remain Hungarian: if we cultivate
the Hungarian language, defend our Christian and Hungarian culture, and
preserve independence and Hungarian freedom. Well now, Dear Friends,
this is the Hungarian model, and – as far as I can see – it works.
Appreciating hard work, supporting families, retaining national identity
and preserving independence: this is the future – and this future can
be ours.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Ladies and Gentlemen,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">The
Hungarian model works not simply because the country’s leaders believe
in it – although naturally that is essential. The Hungarian model is
successful because millions of Hungarians believe in it. I remember that
at the outset, when we announced this programme, we were still few in
number. Those who supported the programme did so out of hope rather than
belief. But step by step this changed, and eventually hope turned into
belief. Millions of people now believe that hard work, family and
homeland are not only fine and noble things, but can provide successful
policy. To tell you the truth, of all the achievements of the past eight
years, this is what I am proudest of. For this I am grateful – and we
are all grateful – to the more than seven hundred thousand people who
have taken advantage of the opportunity to enter the workforce and to
support their families not through welfare payments but through work.
Our sincere thanks are due to the Hungarian business owners who believed
in us, who accepted the risks, invested in the future and created jobs.
Together, working people and business owners creating jobs forged the
success of the Hungarian economy. And we also owe a debt of gratitude to
every young Hungarian who has set out on the path of building a family.
The number of marriages has risen by 46 per cent. The magic number that
scientists refer to as the fertility rate has risen from 1.23 to 1.49:
it’s a promising start, but a long way from 2, which would provide for
our long-term survival. That is still far off, but not entirely beyond
our reach.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Ladies and Gentlemen,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">A
precondition of all future plans is that we are free to follow our own
path. Only independent nations which are not at the mercy of others can
follow their own paths. Today we’re no longer financially beholden to
anyone. Once again we have Hungarian public utility companies, and so
families are not paying the profits of multinational companies through
their utility bills. The era of our energy dependence has also come to
an end: at no small cost in terms of money and effort we have built the
necessary pipelines, and so gas will come to Hungary not only from
Russia, but also from Romania – and even from Poland. More than 50 per
cent of the banking system is in Hungarian ownership, as is more than 50
per cent of the Hungarian media. There is no national independence
without a Hungarian banking system and Hungarian media. By way of
warning, however, I must tell you that although we have our independence
now, it’s not like jam: it doesn’t keep on the shelf, and from time to
time it must be defended. So please do not forget that we must not
deliver the fate of the country into the hands of the internationalists.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Ladies and Gentlemen,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Preparing
for the election, we can confirm that we have managed to do something
that no other party has been able to do: we have remained united. And as
we have managed to stay united with each other, we have also managed to
unite the country. We have succeeded in rallying the majority behind
the effort to attain important goals; and on the most important issues –
such as independence, defence of the borders and migration – we have
even managed to forge an enormous unity which crosses party political
lines. This is a great achievement in these times of polarisation and
discord. In Hungarian politics, Ladies and Gentlemen, we offer
continuity and experience. Our bloodline extends from the first
democratic election to the present day. We were in opposition for
sixteen years and in government for twelve. As you can see, the two are
not yet in balance. We’ve already learnt that in politics the most
important factor is time. Governing a country takes experience and
self-confidence, knowledge of the local terrain and a thorough
understanding of the international scene. And if these are combined with
the courage for renewal, then we are in a winning position.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Ladies and Gentlemen,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">The

the same time it is also true that we are not only a civic government,
but also a national government. In today’s world if someone speaks about
the cause of the nation, they’re often censured: that is the stuff of
folklore, it’s boring, it’s nostalgia, and the sentimentality of ageing
gentlefolk. But I want to tell you clearly that while it naturally
overflows with sentiment, it is more than that. Homeland is an anchor
needed by everyone in their hearts. And, in spite of attacks and
mockery, patriots deserve recognition for again and again lowering this
anchor: for telling us to our face, time and again, that the homeland
comes before all else. Or, in an updated form, borrowed from the
Americans: “Hungary First”.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Ladies and Gentlemen,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">If
today you say the word “Hungary” to someone, they think of Budapest,
Lake Balaton, beautiful Hungarian women, goulash soup and fine wines. If
you say “Hungarian politics”, you can rest assured that they’ll think
of Fidesz. The more sophisticated will think of Fidesz-KDNP. This is
understandable, as twice in succession we’ve won elections with
two-thirds majorities, and we’re governing the country without being
forced into forming a coalition. Hungary has greatly increased in
standing: our reputation, our recognition and our influence are greater
than the size of our country or economy weight would suggest. Why is
this? First of all, because in Hungary for eight years Fidesz and the
KDNP have stopped political correctness in its tracks. Eurobabble,
liberal grandstanding and “PC” platitudes have been ditched. We’ve sent
the muzzle back to Brussels and the dog lead to the IMF. Just look
around, in a Europe of forced coalitions and liberal media dictates. In
Budapest the fashion is for straight-talking: clear words and sentences.
In Budapest we want to say what we think, and we want to do what we
say. In today’s European politics this is indeed quite a luxury, and we
Hungarians are almost wallowing in it – although it would be good if the
water splashed onto the bank less often!<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Ladies and Gentlemen,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">The
fact that we come to mind when people in Hungary and abroad think of
Hungarian politics is not something that has come without cost. Fidesz
was formed thirty years ago. This has been a long road: fierce
struggles, perseverance, loyalty, camaraderie; loyalty and service to
Hungary, unity and camaraderie to one another. Every Hungarian knows us,
and has even got to know us well. They know that we mean what we say,
and we’re not in thrall to the temptation to exaggerate. We seriously
mean what we say. If we commit to something we throw ourselves into it.
This is why we work hard for it, and in the end we complete the task and
usually achieve our goal. If the slogan had not already been used, I
would say that we are “the force of calm”. We are ourselves, and we
don’t try to pull the wool over anyone’s eyes. We are anti-communists
and patriots. We passionately love Hungary, and are ready to do
everything we can for it. This is what sets us apart from the other
political parties.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">It’s
not my job to focus on other parties, but forty-nine days before a
general election this is hardly avoidable. I look at the state of the
other parties, and I cannot always believe my eyes. And I have to tell
you I don’t even understand how such people and parties in their present
state can ask the people for their trust, and indeed can stand as
candidates for government. There’s a party which has asked a player from
another team to lead its list. He calls himself a prime-ministerial
candidate – even though everyone can see that he’s only a bankruptcy
receiver, who has been handed the historic task of leading the MSZP out
of Parliament. Another left-wing party is discovering its old roots, and
under the leadership of a former prime minister is morphing back into
an archetypal communist party, threatening people with prison,
nationalisation and a new change of system. All it can say as far as
spiritual issues are concerned is that the churches should just keep
their mouths shut, and had better keep a low profile. Einstein, who not
only observed physical phenomena but also the human mind, said that the
definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and
expecting different results. There’s another party, we have another
party, which has nothing else to say about the world except that it can
be different. A brilliant insight, but it is all but impossible to find
out from them what that world would be like, because they themselves are
so different that we don’t know if they are right- or left-wing,
nationalists or internationalists. And there’s so much coming and going
that we don’t know who’s in the party and who’s outside it. We can’t
even remember the names of the parties formed by those who’ve left,
because they’re struggling to remain visible and are so short-lived. But
most absurd of all is that in these dangerous, migrant-battered times
there is a national party which has seen better days, and which has now
come up with the idea that Islam is the last hope for humanity. Well,
one’s jaw drops, because one can’t believe one’s ears. Someone should
pinch us quickly, so we wake up. But it’s no use: this really is the
situation in Hungary today; these are the options, these are the other
candidates for government.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">All
I can say, politely but firmly, is that Hungary deserves better than
this. So it’s no wonder that in the country now the mood is not for a
change of government, but for a change of opposition. But for a moment
let’s take them seriously and make it clear that we are people who think
that the last hope for Europe is Christianity. Today when European
people talk about Christianity – and this distinction is important –
they are primarily thinking of its culture and their way of life. This
is why, according to opinion polls and analyses, 78 per cent of people
in Hungary want us to preserve our Christian culture and our Christian
traditions.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Ladies and Gentlemen,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">When
we think about the future and the stakes in the election ahead of us,
we would do well to observe the increase in the number of pessimistic
analyses, forecasts and projections concerning the future of Europe.
Commentators claim that there are dark clouds gathering over Europe, due
to immigration. There have always been dark prophecies. This is the
familiar background music to European politics. What’s worrying these
days is that in essence they are mathematical in nature: even though
they are estimates, they are about numbers and quantifiable changes; and
numbers always carry a great deal of weight. According to estimates, in
European countries to the west of us the percentage of immigrants will
grow at an ever faster pace. I’d rather not say anything now about
France or the Netherlands, but for instance the percentage of
German-born citizens in large cities is in decline, as immigrants always
occupy the larger cities first of all. For instance, in Bavaria now
more money is being spent on asylum, immigration and integration than on
the combined state budget for the economy, the environment and health
care. Visiting Vienna I heard that this year’s school enrolment data
took everyone very much by surprise: the percentage of Muslim children
among those starting school has soared. This is the future that over
there is already the present. According to NATO reports – it seems that
soldiers don’t yet allow themselves to be censored – by 2020, sixty
million people will have set off for Europe. There’s also consensus that
Africa will be more powerful than any previous expectations had
envisaged. By 2050 its population will have doubled, to 2.5 billion.
There will be ten times more young Africans than young Europeans. Africa
faces two potential futures. In one future it would be able to repeat
the spectacular achievements of Asia, where China, India, Indonesia and
Vietnam, for example, have amazed the world. Each of these – in their
own way, but all at lightning speed – have dragged themselves out of
poverty, set their economies on a path of growth, and will soon take
over the leading role in the world economy. Their success reminds us
that rather than history shaping demography, demography shapes history.
And like school children who have to repeat a year, we Hungarians could
say a lot on that subject. The other possible future would it be if
Africa is unable to follow the path of Asian development and is unable
to create decent conditions fit for its young generations to live in. If
this mass of several hundred million young people is allowed to travel
north, then Europe will soon come under horrendous pressure.
Furthermore, the majority of immigrants will arrive from the Islamic
world. If everything continues in this way, then the cities of Europe
will clearly have majority Muslim populations – and London will not be
an outlier, but a pioneer. If things continue like this, our culture,
our identity and our nations as we know them will cease to exist. Our
worst nightmares will have become reality. The West will fall, as Europe
is occupied without realising it. Will this be a vindication of the
views of those who think that civilisations are not killed, but commit
suicide? Many believe that even if all this does take place, it will all
take a long time. I think that those who believe this are mistaken.
Analyses look ahead as far as 2050, and people of my age will reach
their eighties at around that time. In other words, we – not to mention
our children and grandchildren – may be able to see with our own eyes
what direction the future of our Western world has taken.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">And
at this point, Dear Friends, I must also say a few words about the
dispute between Western and Central Europe. It seems that the courses of
development of these two parts of Europe have diverged. Naturally
democracy, the rule of law and the market economy remain in common. But
the foundations on which these rest today will become increasingly
divergent. Politicians do not yet talk about this openly, but everyone
can already see it. The great old European nations in Western Europe
have become immigrant countries. Day by day their cultural foundations
are being transformed, the population raised in a Christian culture is
declining, and the major cities are undergoing Islamisation. And I have
to say that I cannot see the political forces with the will and ability
to stop these processes – let alone, horribile dictu, reverse them. In
terms of my message it is now irrelevant whether this is the consequence
of the weakness of liberal democracies, the repercussions of an earlier
colonial and slave-trading past, or the greedy, subversive actions of a
George Soros-style empire; the facts remain. Whatever the reason,
Western Europe has become an immigrant zone and a world of mixed
populations; and, unlike central Europe, it is heading in the direction
of a completely new development future. This is bad news for us. This
means that Islamic civilisation – which has always seen its mission as
the conversion of Europe to what it calls the true faith – will knock on
Central Europe’s door not only from the South, but also from the
West. We have successfully defended our southern borders with the
building of the fence, the legal and physical border defences, the
exemplary steadfastness of our police and the leadership of Sándor
Pintér. We have prevented the Muslim world from inundating us from the
south. Facing that direction we are the last country in Latin – or
Western – Christianity. We are standing firm. Our defence lines are
sufficient to hold back the largest flows. Furthermore, Orthodox
Christianity is courageously and resolutely fighting ahead of us. We
acknowledge Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">However
absurd it seems, the situation is that now the danger is threatening us
from the West. This danger to us comes from politicians in Brussels,
Berlin and Paris. They want us to adopt their policies: the policies
that made them immigrant countries and that opened the way for the
decline of Christian culture and the expansion of Islam. They want us to
also accept migrants and to also become countries with mixed
populations. Earlier they said that they expect this from us because
what is alien is beautiful, a mixed population is better, and because
the true European does not defend such obsolete mediaeval concepts as
homeland and religion. Today these voices are perhaps quieter. Now the
fashionable mantra is that we must become like them because this
expresses solidarity. We must clearly state that we stand in solidarity
with those Western Europeans and leaders who want to save their
homelands and Christian culture, and we have no solidarity with those
who want to abandon those things. We shall never express solidarity with
those European leaders who want to take Europe into a post-Christian
and post-national era.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Ladies and Gentlemen,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">We
must clearly and forthrightly state that we do not see the battle that
we’re fighting as a hopeless one; in fact as we see it, we now stand on
the brink of victory. The countries of the Visegrád Four are unwavering.
The Orthodox world stands firm, and it seems that Croatia has come to
its senses. Austria has now turned in the direction of patriotism and
Christianity. In Bavaria a spiritual and political resistance has
developed under the leadership of the CSU. Perhaps it is not too late.
And we await, we keenly anticipate, the result of the Italian election,
and with it the turning-point which will see the return to government of
common sense, Italian national and cultural identity – and Silvio
Berlusconi. Forza Italia!<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">And
let us now remember those European politicians, our counterparts, who
in recent years have sunk their teeth into us – and in the end have
broken their teeth on us. A brief roll call: Austrian chancellors
Faymann and Kern; Italian prime minister Renzi; the inglorious Croatian
prime minister Milanović; and, of course, Martin Schulz – who had a
manic desire to be everything, and in the end has become nothing. I see
that the list is unfinished, and there are a few vacant places on it.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Ladies and Gentlemen,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">All
this gives us hope. In the end it is good to see that one has not
worked in vain. But the situation gives us no reason to be
self-satisfied. The forces opposing us, George Soros’s network and the
international bureaucrats he has bought, have in no way given up. There
are those who still smell money. They look at Europe and see the
business opportunities inherent in the weakening of the euro. There are
those who do not want to lose the jobs and infantry wages they have
received from the globalist elite. And there’s also the type of European
ideological intellectual who continually experiments with the
transformation of Europe. A well-developed example of the latter is a
Hungarian activist from a Soros organisation, who was able to say the
following, and I quote: “From almost wherever they come, those arriving
here are better than our native population”. I didn’t understand this
for a while. I didn’t understand why someone would talk such obvious
claptrap. After all, it’s clear that, compared with migrants, we
Hungarians are better-trained, better-educated and more employable. This
is clear. Then one of the Soros network’s chief ideologues, the
Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe, recently let
slip that some years ago they secretly launched a programme to breed a
Soros-like human race, or, as they modestly put it – if I can pronounce
the term – Homo sorosensus. This means “Soros man”. And I realised that
from their point of view, from the viewpoint of the Soros types, we
indigenous people who have our own countries, our own culture and our
own religion – things for which we will fight tooth and nail – are
individuals beyond redemption, who cannot be transformed. From their
viewpoint, migrants are indeed better raw material to work with. And it
is a clear testament to the Hungarian people’s generosity and deep
tolerance that the people who are scheming to implement this plan can
safely and cheerfully live their lives among us.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Now
of course we shall not look on impassively; we are not sheep, who
quietly stand around waiting for their fate to be visited upon them.
Naturally we shall fight, and if needs be we shall deploy an ever more
powerful legal arsenal. Here, for a start, we have the “Stop Soros”
legislative proposal. We are linking any activities related to migration
and migrants to a national security licence, and we shall divert a
proportion of the foreign funding intended for pro-migrant NGOs, or
pseudo-civil society organisations, to the border protection budget. We
shall order a complete financial transparency screening, and if somebody
does not refrain from their dangerous plans we shall simply expel them –
however powerful or rich they may be. And we shall fight in the
international arena as well. Tomorrow I shall hand over to the Prime
Minister of Bulgaria – which currently holds the presidency of the
European Union – the European legislative proposal which can provide for
the complete protection of Europe’s borders. This is the important
thing, the protection of the borders – not mandatory migrant quotas. If
we secure the borders, no one can enter without permission, and then
there will be no one to distribute. And those who allow migrants to
enter their countries should keep them and look after them. And there
can be no question at all of them selecting the best and sending us the
rest.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">So
I should also draw your attention to the fact that in the meantime
another area for debate has opened up. The United Nations, the UN, has
taken it upon itself to finalise an international compact on migration
by the end of the year. The draft has been released for debate. The
United States has already left the negotiating table, because in its
view the proposal is hopelessly pro-migration and anti-border security.
Our self-confidence is in a better state, and we have therefore decided
to stay at the negotiating table for the time being, and change the
wording of the compact being prepared. What does the UN want? This will
be a fine task for our friend Péter Szijjártó. What does the UN want?
The UN wants everyone to accept that immigration and its facilitation
make a positive contribution to economic growth and prosperity. This is a
quote from the document. From a European point of view, this is
obviously idiocy; it’s like saying that a flu epidemic is a good thing,
because it makes a positive contribution to people’s health and
well-being. The UN asserts that safe and regulated immigration routes
must be created in Europe. The UN asserts that it is every European’s
duty to help the immigrants coming to their countries to settle and find
jobs.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Ladies and Gentlemen,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">We
understand that some 80 per cent of the UN’s Member States are source
countries for migrants. But we didn’t establish the United Nations in
order for it to turn against us and force something on us that will ruin
us. The United Nations also asserts that the legal and physical
barriers obstructing immigrants’ paths across borders must be removed.
We can stand up straight and hold our heads high: this is about the
fence, and this is directly aimed at us. Interestingly, proposals of
this kind mostly originate from people who are protected by bodyguards,
who travel in armoured limousines, whose houses are surrounded by high
walls and fences, and who are protected by security systems around the
clock. We suggest instead that they first dismantle their gates, take
down their fences and dismiss their guards. We suggest that we continue
the talks if this experiment has succeeded – and they’re still alive.
Should the experiment fail, we’ll happily grant them asylum in Hungary.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Ladies and Gentlemen,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">This
is obviously utter nonsense. It’s incomprehensible why they would think
us to be such raving lunatics as to accept this and then implement it.
We must bluntly state that Hungary is not a country of deranged people.
We understand that George Soros’s organisations have not only installed
themselves in Brussels and Budapest, but also in New York, at the UN. We
understand that they are spending incalculable sums of money on pushing
through acceptance for migration at a global level. We understand that
Soros has picked a fight not only with us, but also with the British,
President Trump and the Israelis. And everywhere the topic is the same:
forcing acceptance for immigration and migration. But they won’t
succeed. We’re not alone, and we shall fight together to contain – and
then to stop – Soros’s plan as presented in Brussels and in the UN. And
if we have enough allies – and we can have enough allies – I’m sure that
we shall succeed in the end.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Ladies and Gentlemen,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Finally,
let me remark on the fact that the election campaign started yesterday.
Having seen the opposition’s campaign-opening events yesterday, an old
observation of mine came to mind: when the campaign is under way,
reality keeps its mouth shut. Let’s keep calm and talk straight about
this as well. Today our political opponents in Hungary are in a hopeless
situation. They have failed to understand the mood of the times. On the
most important issues they have not stood by us, and have not stood by
the country. They did not support us when the fence was being built.
They withdrew to the sidelines during the referendum on the mandatory
migrant quota. They did not support the amendment to the Constitution.
They denied the reality of immigration. They denied the reality of the
mandatory migrant quota and the Soros Plan. The people can see this and
know the truth; this is why the opposition in Hungary today is in a
hopeless situation. But we know from de Gaulle that hopelessness begets
hatred. Hatred oozes from every sentence of the opposition parties. I
believe that there will be no shortage of crudeness, mudslinging and
hypocrisy. But we should remember that for us an election is a
celebration: millions of Hungarians waited for the day, after the end of
communist repression and Soviet occupation, when they would be able to
vote in a free election. We must not let others ruin our celebration.
Let us preserve our good spirits, our sense of humour, our
self-deprecation and the beauty of shared decision-making. Hatred does
not lift one up: it drags one down. As in the well-known joke, the man
who jumps from the fiftieth floor of a skyscraper reassures himself as
he plummets to the ground: “So far so good, so far so good”. In fifty
days we’ll all arrive at our respective destinations: some at the
fiftieth floor, others at the ground floor. Here’s to the adventure!<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(24,23,23)">Go for it Hungary, go for it Hungarians!<u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div><div>...</div>
