Speaker of Parliament is Comparing the EU to the Habsburg Regime

The taste of Hungarian freedom can never be forgotten, and where heroes are not forgotten, there will always be new ones, said László Kövér, Speaker of Parliament, in Komárno (Slovakia). The event was organized by the Embassy of Hungary on the occasion of the national holiday in honor of the 1848-49 revolution and freedom struggle.

The speaker of the National Assembly pointed out that in 1945, our grandparents’ generation experienced what it was like to be “liberated” from the Nazi imperial occupation by Soviet weapons, and in 1990, our generation experienced what it was like when Western capitalist “liberators” appeared over a country trampled by the communist empire.

He recalled, remembering the national holiday, that

in 1848, in Vienna, they wanted imperial capitalism, but without Hungarian capitalists, Hungarian banks and Hungarian money.

The leader of the revolution, Lajos Kossuth proposed an independent Hungarian Ministry of Finance in the Bratislava Parliament on March 3, advocating for Hungarian monetary sovereignty, László Kövér noted. Kossuth rejected a Vienna private bank’s loan offer, as it required accepting the bank’s exclusive right to issue money in Hungary, believing a nation’s interests could not be served by foreign private funds. He underlined that

“this was the turning point when the empire decided to suppress the Hungarians’ political and financial struggle for freedom with military force.”

He compared the situation to the time when Hungarians, Slovaks and all nations in the region joined a European Union that embodied the cooperation of European nations living in freedom. The countries saw a guarantee of preserving and strengthening their nation-states, economies and identities.

Nowadays the leadership of the European Union is turning into the opposite of its former self, into an anti-Christian and anti-national force, whose goal is war instead of peace, dictatorship instead of democracy, and impoverishment of the European people instead of prosperity,”

emphasized László Kövér. He added that all this is happening because, just as the leadership of the Habsburg Empire once was, now the European Union is also held hostage by private interests.

He pointed out that Hungary is not without a peer in Europe, because in every European nation the camp of common sense is in the social majority, and it is only a matter of time before the European nations, having become a political majority, regain control over the politics of their own countries.
