<div>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

<span>Thu Jul 11, 2024 - 11:08 am EDT</span> <br></div><div>
(<a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">LifeSiteNews</a>) — As Hungary <a href="https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/council-eu/presidency-council-eu/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">assumed</a>
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. <br></div><div>
<p>“What Europeans want is three things: peace, order, and development,” Orbán said on<span> June 30. “And what they are getting from the elite in Brussels today is war, migration, and stagnation.”</span></p>
<p>Orbán addressed a <a href="https://x.com/zoltanspox/status/1797273472877412414" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>huge</span></a><span> pro-peace rally earlier in June in Hungary and has called for the </span><a href="https://x.com/WETHEKINGDQMQ98/status/1766427057687236871" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>return</span></a><span>
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.</span></p>
<p>Ahead of a peace mission to Russia, Orbán <a href="https://x.com/annanemtsova/status/1809553406031257680" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>said</span></a><span> “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 </span><a href="https://x.com/dana916/status/1810127318054007267" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>said</span></a><span> the search for an end to the conflict was “my Christian duty.”</span></p>
<h4>Western ‘values’</h4>
<p>Orbán <a href="https://nationalfile.com/viktor-orban-western-values-mean-three-things-migration-lgbtq-and-war/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>said</span></a><span> last summer that “Western values mean three things: LGBTQ, migration, and war.”</span></p>
<p>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.”</p>
<p>Germany’s newspaper of record <em>Die Welt </em><a href="https://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/plus252403322/Viktor-Orban-im-Interview-Mit-Angela-Merkel-waere-es-nie-zu-einer-Invasion-Russlands-gekommen.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>reported</span></a><span> on Orbán’s shuttle diplomacy, which has angered E.U. leaders in supplanting their firmly pro-war position. According to <em>Die Welt</em>, Orbán said, </span><span>“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.”</span></p>
<p>Columbia Professor Jeffrey Sachs <a href="https://x.com/BalazsOrban_HU/status/1810353716824015057" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>described</span></a><span> Orbán’s bid for peace as a “ray of light.”</span></p>
<p>“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.</p>
<p>Of course, no good deed goes unpunished. Accordingly, Euronews <a href="https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/07/09/could-hungarian-pm-orban-face-consequences-for-his-diplomatic-world-tour" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>reports</span></a><span>
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 </span><a href="https://x.com/PM_ViktorOrban/status/1810085572758634995" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>his</span></a><span> “peace mission 3.0” to China, there is talk of cutting short Hungary’s tenure as E.U. president nation.</span></p>
<p>Why would the pro-war E.U. globalists be offended by Christian duty?</p>
<p>“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.<span> </span></p>
<p>“<span>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.”</span></p>
<p>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 <a href="https://www.aa.com.tr/en/politics/hungarian-premier-blasts-brusselian-bureaucratic-nonsense-on-russia-ukraine-war/3267652" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>described</span></a><span> these E.U. policies as “bureaucratic nonsense.”</span></p>
<p>Of course, a fact check from <span>somebody</span><span> such as E.U. Chief Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen’s </span><a href="https://x.com/vonderleyen_epp/status/1792569693242352120" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>European Democracy Shield</span></a><span> would be certain to uphold the charge against Orbán’s appeal for sanity and for security.</span></p>
<p>The unelected E.U. head, who has just <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/27/ursula-von-der-leyen-wins-second-term-as-european-commission-president" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>secured</span></a><span> a second term in office thanks to her </span><a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/ursula-von-der-leyen-military-defense-slimate-second-term/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>robust</span></a><span>
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.</span></p>

<h4>Manifesto for a European future</h4>
<p>On the eve of the six-month E.U. presidency of Hungary, Orbán <a href="https://x.com/laszloan/status/1807405638407884848" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>announced</span></a><span>
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.”</span></p>
<p>Orbán has faced down attacks on his “illiberal Christian democracy” by the globalist-liberal E.U. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdjYp2YtQL4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>since</span></a><span> 2013.</span></p>
<p>In his June 30<span> address, he stated that</span><span> 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.”</span></p>
<p>“We believe that this is the day when the change in European politics
begins,” Orbán said, introducing a new politics for the future.</p>
<p>The manifesto of Patriots for Europe states that Europe is at a “turning point.”</p>
<blockquote><p>… 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.</p></blockquote>
<p>On Monday, Orbán’s Fidesz party <a href="https://x.com/FideszEP/status/1810409608894087564" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>announced</span></a><span>
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.</span></p>
<p>German outlet <em>Die Welt</em> reported that, in response, left-wingers and greens have <a href="https://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/article252423224/EU-Parlament-Sozialdemokraten-und-Gruene-fordern-Brandmauer-gegen-neue-Rechtsaussen-Fraktion.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>combined</span></a><span> to form a “firewall” to shut out the politics of Christian sanity from the E.U.</span></p>
<p>These developments come alongside an attempt at serious diplomacy
which has humiliated the E.U., whose diplomats and liberal leaders
remain steadfastly <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/viktor-orban-hungary-council-of-the-eu-presidency-vladimir-putin-russia-volodymyr-zelenskyy-ukraine/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>committed</span></a><span> to prolonging – and even escalating – the war in Ukraine.</span></p>
<p>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 <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/viktor-orban-hungary-council-of-the-eu-presidency-vladimir-putin-russia-volodymyr-zelenskyy-ukraine/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>raged</span></a><span> at Orbán’s peace mission, and his </span><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/30/make-europe-great-again-hungary-sets-scene-eu-presidency" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>call</span></a><span> to “Make Europe Great Again.”</span></p>
<h4>Eurocrats on Xanax?</h4>
<p>Now Orbán’s dedication to replacing the machinery of death with that of life is driving some liberal Eurocrats to drugs.</p>
<p>“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 <em><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/30/make-europe-great-again-hungary-sets-scene-eu-presidency" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Guardian</a>. </em><span>“At every turn of the road you see the Hungarians hampering Ukraine’s ability to fight an aggressor.”</span></p>
<p>The pill-induced coping was <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/30/make-europe-great-again-hungary-sets-scene-eu-presidency" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>accompanied</span></a><span> by much seething.</span></p>
<blockquote><p>At a meeting of foreign affairs ministers last month [June], frustrations boiled over when ministers confronted their <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/31/viktor-orban-hungarian-pm-vladimir-putin-moscow-russia-visit" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>Kremlin-decorated</span></a> <span>counterpart, Péter Szijjártó, over Hungary’s obstruction.</span></p>
<p>‘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.’</p></blockquote>
<p>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.</p>

<h4>‘Blockmail’</h4>
<p>Accordingly, the liberals have done much to lock down the Hungarian Christian menace.<span> </span></p>
<p>The E.U. has <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/05/eu-must-not-appease-viktor-orban-by-unfreezing-billions-earmarked-for-hungary" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>blocked</span></a><span> 27 billion euros from reaching Orbán’s Hungary. The “unfreezing” of some 10 billion in January 2024 led to </span><a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20240112IPR16780/the-hungarian-government-threatens-eu-values-institutions-and-funds-meps-say" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>outrage</span></a><span> in the European Parliament, which </span><a href="https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/03/14/european-parliament-sues-commission-over-the-release-of-102-billion-in-frozen-funds-to-hun" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>sued</span></a><span> the E.U. Commission for doing so. The funds were released to secure Hungarian </span><a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/commission-unblocks-e10-2-billion-for-hungary-as-eu-tries-to-sway-viktor-orban-on-ukraine/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>support</span></a><span> for financing the Ukraine war, with a </span><a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/eu-leaders-seek-deal-fund-ukraine-hungary-digs-heels-2024-02-01/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>further</span></a><span> $54 billion sent to Volodymyr Zelensky in February.</span></p>
<p>Up to 19 billion euros in E.U. funding remains frozen over the Hungarian government’s <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jun/15/hungary-passes-law-banning-lbgt-content-in-schools" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>refusal</span></a><span> to repeal “anti-LGBT” child protection laws, and open its well-policed borders.</span></p>
<p>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 <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/29/secret-eu-plan-to-sabotage-hungarian-economy-revealed-as-anger-mounts-at-orban" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>reported</span></a><span> in January 2024. Yet E.U. hatred of the Hungarian model has a long history.</span></p>
<h4>Why the E.U. hates Orbán</h4>
<p>In 2017, a member of Orbán’s party <a href="https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/10/10/whos-afraid-of-george-soros/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>told</span></a><span>
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” </span><a href="https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2021/11/16/hungary-move-to-criminalise-support-of-asylum-seekers-infringes-eu-law" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>law</span></a><span>, which saw the OSF </span><a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-hungary-soros-ceu-move/soros-founded-school-says-forced-out-of-hungary-on-dark-day-for-europe-idUSKBN1O218Z/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>University</span></a><span> close down.</span></p>
<p>Orbán’s <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/07/viktor-orban-hungary-preserve-christian-culture" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>announcement</span></a><span> in 2018 that he seeks to establish an “illiberal Christian democracy” in Hungary was met with horror by the E.U.</span></p>
<p>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.</p>
<div style="display:flex;max-width:550px;width:100%;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px"></div>
<p>Kovacs, who is the Hungarian government’s international spokesman,
also correctly predicted the process was designed never to end.</p>
<div style="display:flex;max-width:550px;width:100%;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px"></div>
<p>Five years later, 19 billion euros earmarked for Hungary <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/30/make-europe-great-again-hungary-sets-scene-eu-presidency" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>remain</span></a><span> frozen by the E.U.</span></p>
