Orbán: No Forgiveness for Paedophilia in Hungary

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in his speech there could be “no forgiveness” for paedophilia, adding that children were “sacred and inviolable”.

Parents have a responsibility to protect children at all costs, he said. “We’re not interested in hearing how Brussels tries to excuse and explain the inexplicable.”

“This is Hungary, and Europe’s strictest child protection regime should be in force here,” he added. The laws are in place, and any that are missing will be passed, he said.

This matter, he said, would require the help of parents, grandparents, teachers and educators “because gender propaganda isn’t just some good-natured silliness, some rainbow spiel, but the biggest threat to our children.”

“We’re counting on every good-willed Hungarian to be able to carry out this task together once and for all in 2023,” he added.
