On Friday morning, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was once again a guest on public radio, where he spoke about the migration situation in Europe, planned steps against Antifa extremists, and the state of public discourse, reported hirado.hu.
“When the Germans said they could solve the immigration situation, it was a different Germany. The situation has changed since then,” Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Friday on Kossuth Radio’s Good Morning, Hungary! program, referring to the tenth anniversary of the Röszke border-riots and illegal immigration. He also noted that former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who is widely thought to be responsible for opening the flood-gates for illegal migrants, will soon arrive in Hungary for her book launch.
According to the prime minister,
the events in Röszke revealed that the illegal migrants were not actually refugees, that they had bank cards.
As he put it, it turned out that American-Hungarian oligarch George Soros was organizing the migration.
Viktor Orbán said that his strongest experiences were not related to Röszke, but to his visits to the refugee camps in Debrecen and Bicske. He said that when he closed the Debrecen migrant camp, people wanted to carried him on their shoulders down the main street of the town.
“I can only trust ourselves on the issue of migration”
The prime minister also spoke about the lack of consensus in Hungary on the issue of migration. “If there is a national government that is not afraid, but rather courageous and stands up to Brussels, then there will be no migrants and there will be security; if there is a pro-Brussels government in Hungary, then there will be migrants and there will be no more security,” said Viktor Orbán, who explained that Fidesz left the European People’s Party because it could not reach an agreement with the party family on the issue of migration.
(Péter Magyar’s) Tisza party joined the European People’s Party, so obviously they agreed,”
the prime minister noted, adding that he trusts no one but himself on the issue of migration.
At this point, he said that the Tisza Party had voted in Brussels for the accelerated introduction of the migration pact and increased financial support for migrants, decisions that Viktor Orbán described as disastrous for Hungary. He also pointed out that where migrants have been allowed in, public safety has deteriorated dramatically, public spaces have become dangerous, some neighborhoods have become uninhabitable, local residents are moving away, and the number of criminal gangs and open street clashes has become a common part of life in Western Europe. According to the prime minister, what is even worse is that this mistake cannot be corrected, because he believes that the Western world has changed and they do not know what to do about it.
The prime minister responded to the lifting of the US visa waiver program. “Friendship matters in politics too,” said Viktor Orbán in connection with the lifting of visa waiver program restrictions for all Hungarian citizens in the United States from September 30. The Prime Minister recalled that during his presidential campaign, he agreed with Donald Trump that the penalties imposed on Hungary by the left wing would be “removed from the system.”
He continued by saying that it takes a few months for such a decision to go through the US bureaucracy, but the president kept his word and gave Hungarians back their freedom of movement and visa-free travel. He recalled that
the Biden administration decided that since Hungary did not agree with the American Democrats on migration, gender, or war, “then they would cut us off.”
He added that there are many people who had business in the United States, studied there, or did business there, and for them this was a very unpleasant measure. “It was a punishment that hurt,” the prime minister noted.
Hungary initiates the designation of Antifa as terrorist organization
In the interview, the prime minister welcomed Donald Trump’s decision to designate Antifa organizations as terrorist organizations in the United States and announced that he would initiate the same in Hungary.
“Antifa is indeed a terrorist organization. They came to Hungary, beat up peaceful people on the streets, some of whom were beaten half to death, and then went to the European Parliament, where they lecture Hungary on the rule of law and the left. This is impossible,”said Viktor Orbán.
Earlier this week U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that he will designate the violent far-left movement as a terrorist entity. Only a day later, the Dutch government has also informed that they will follow suit and prescribe Antifa as a terrorist organization.
