Deputy PM Zsolt Semjén
Without guaranteeing the rights of national minorities, there can be no just peace in Ukraine, emphasized Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjén in the online program Hour of Fighters. He added that whatever happens in the region, the government will continue to support the Hungarian community in Transcarpathia (Ukraine) and will only recognize the Transcarpathian Hungarian Cultural Association (KMKSZ) as the legitimate representative of that community.
According to Zsolt Semjén, Ukraine needs a realistic peace. He believes that the country’s NATO membership would carry the risk of a global conflict, thus this cannot be an option, but at the same time, it is essential that Kyiv receive adequate security guarantees.
Turning to the domestic political situation, he sharply criticized main opposition leader Péter Magyar and the Tisza Party. He said that their political program has no intellectual content and that if they came to power, they would immediately eliminate utility price reductions, provide unconditional support to Ukraine, and accept the migration pact.
In his opinion, all this would lead to the creation of a puppet government that would be radically opposed to the current national and sovereign policy.
On the issue of migration, Semjén emphasized that Hungary would continue to provide charitable assistance to those in need in their home countries, but rejected the encouragement of immigration.
In his opinion, Western countries made a strategic mistake when they encouraged mass Muslim immigration, which he believes could lead to the gradual elimination of Christian civilization.
Speaking about the protection of children, he emphasized that the government does not interfere in the private lives of adults, but above all ensures the right of minors to healthy development. Therefore, there can be no concessions on the issue of gender transition procedures.
On the topic of Pride, he stated that it is the state’s duty to protect the participants of the event, but at the same time, the marchers must respect the sensitivities of the majority of society and must not provoke with anti-religious or anti-community statements.
