PM Orbán On Foreign Policy
The era of building a civic Hungary based on national-Christian values has begun, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in a state of the nation speech. Orbán also discussed the principles of his government’s foreign policy, which he said include peace, cooperation, trade, mutual investment, regional balance and national interests. He said Berlin, Moscow and Ankara represent the three points of reference for Hungary’s foreign policy and Hungary must not allow being dragged into international schemes against Germany, Russia or Turkey.

Orbán urged the reinforcement of Hungary’s lines of border defence. If we must, we will defend our border along its entire length, from Slovenia to Ukraine, he said. Europe’s future is not endangered mainly by migrants, but by the political, economic and intellectual leaders that are trying to reshape Europe and the people of Europe, he said.

The world citizens of the political and intellectual elite in Brussels and a few European capitals are standing against the majority of people with national sentiments, he added. Orbán said migration could be stopped but the problem is that Brussels lacks the will to protect itself.

It is not too late for Brussels to understand that it is crucial to face reality instead of pursuing dreams, Orbán said.

The reality is that a world of “parallel societies” has been under construction in many European countries for quite some time and these societies have suppressed “our world” because new arrivals “have no wish at all to take over our way of life, since they believe theirs to be more suitable”, Orbán said.
