Viktor Orban: Hungary’s Identity As Christian and Hungarian Nation At Stake in Upcoming Elections
Voice of Europe ^ | 3/30/18

Posted on 04/02/2018 6:01:16 PM PDT by marshmallow

When Hungarians head to the polls on April 8, they will not just be deciding about their country’s future for the next four years, but for many decades to come, the prime minister said in an interview to a local broadcaster in south-western Hungary’s Nagykanizsa on Thursday.

“This will not be a regular election,” Viktor Orban said.

“There is a struggle going on in Europe,” Orban said. At the centre of it is the question of which countries will get to “stay out of the global trend which creates immigrant countries taking in more and more mixed populations, cultures and people without roots”, he said. The question is whether Hungary, together with Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia “and perhaps Romania”, will get to “stay out of this and preserve Hungary as a Christian, national, Hungarian country”.

Hungary is a country of religious freedom; everyone has a right to express their opinion, can choose their path in life, their faith and their conviction, Orban said. “Men and women have equal rights; here in Hungary we observe the law and consider public safety an asset.” Hungary does not have to deal with terrorism, but these life principles and Hungarians’ way of life “is now at risk”, the prime minister said.

The question is whether Hungary can remain Christian and Hungarian or will become part of a Europe where mixed populations live, Orban said.

Freedom to use normal pronouns?

And who do we send over there to make sure the elections are legal and no voter fraud occurs? The FBI? The UN? Almost everyone is dirty and bought out.

Hungarian, like most or all of the other Uralic languages, has no he/she distinction.

ő = he or she
őt = him or her
etc.

What about “mother” and “father”, or do they use parent 1 and parent 2, or progenitor 1 and progenitor 2?

And are “wives” only female, or can they be male or female. And what sex is the “husband”?

And are there genders other than “male” and “female”?

Just curious...

I am half Hungarian and enjoy watching my English-speaking friends and relatives confuse he with she in sentences.

My cousin will talk about her husband and tell me that she did this or that. It is funny.

Orban needs to be replaced. He was a good leader, but he is getting long in the tooth and the nation needs fresh blood.....as long as they do not turn left towards the EU, which wants Hungary to take in the Islamic killers.

There is a big movement in Hungary to vote Orban out next week. That is good, but I am concerned about the alternatives.

Thank God for the central/eastern Europeans! They know what is happening and what is at stake. I hope and pray these people are the next to leave the EUSSR. We need more wisdom from these people.

Hunexit, Polexit, Czexit next!
