Viktor Orban gives a stunning speech, worthy to the end

Posted on by

There are a few things that really caught my eye, but the one I want to talk about, is that PM Orban pointed out that Europe’s only truly Nazi party, Hungary’s Jobbik, actually said:

“The only hope for Europe’s future is Islam”.

This shows how today’s Nazis are no different than the original generation. Allied with any and all antisemites above all else. And to see Islam as a “hope for Europe’s future” is, to say the least, revealing.

Hungarian Government To Impose Punitive Tax On Foreign-Funded NGOs Supporting Illegal Immigration

Posted on by

An original translation from Die Welt:

„STOP-SOROS-PACKAGE“

Hungarian Government Plans Punitive Taxes For Refugee Helpers

Viktor Orbán continues to proceed rigorously against refugees and their supporters within the country. Now, NGOs are to be sanctioned by a tax. It is not the first measure of this kind.


Hungary’s right-wing-nationalist government plans a new punitive tax for NGOs which help refugees and mainly cover their expenses by foreign donations. This is what the Hungarian Interior Minister Sandor Pinter announced on Wednesday after a government meeting. The tax will be 25 percent.

The measure is part of a planned package of laws intended to regulate the work of NGOs which are associated with the so-called “Soros-Plan”. The “Stop-Soros-Package” further specifies that organizations which help, as the motion calls them, “illegal migrants”, will have to register at court. Foreign workers of such organizations might be expelled. The draft bill is to be voted in by parliament after discussion by different councils and leagues.

Organizations will have to register
Since 2017 already a law is in place that forces all civil organizations who receive more than 24,000 Euros per year in foreign aids to register with court. They will also have to carry the specification “foreign-aided organization” in all publications. The law is currently subject to a violation of contract proceeding by the EU.

The “Soros Plan” is at the center of a month-long crusade by prime minister Viktor Orbán’s government. He accuses the US billionaire George Soros, who supports numerous civil organizations, of intending to “flood” Europe with migrants to destroy its “Christian and national identity”. There is no proof for such a plan by the Hungarian-born philanthropist.

Viktor Orbán to German press: “We do not view these people as Muslim refugees. We view them as Islamic invaders.”

An original translation of the interview in Bild’s print edition of today:

 

Bild Deutschland, January 8, 2018 – page 2

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in an interview with BILD

“It Was You Who Wanted The Migrants – Not Us”

By N. Blome, Ch. Stenzel and D. Biskup (photos)

He is controversial in Europe, but guest of honor in Bavaria, at the CSU convention in Seeon. Bild interview with the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán (54).

Bild: Mr. Orbán, Social Democrat chief Martin Schulz demanded that the CSU chief Seehofer should put you in your place.

Viktor Orbán: I have always had great respect for Martin Schulz, because he is a good fighter. But to be amusing as a fighter, and to carry the responsibility for shaping the politics of a country are two different things. What was fine and nice in Brussels – where there are no visible consequences – is a different story than being the chief of a party in Germany and communicating with other countries. We think we deserve more respect.

“We do not want to be coerced”

Bild: For what?

Orbán: Hungary is one of the few stories of success of the last decade. Successful West, poor East – those times are over. 2010, when I went into office, the unemployment rate was 12 percent. Now, it is 4 percent. The economic growth is more than 4 percent, 2009 it still was minus 6 percent. The household deficit is notably lower than 3 percent. If you fairly assess us, we are doing quite well.

Bild: But that is not what the criticism was about. How fair is it, to be a member of the EU but not to stick by the rules? Hungary was supposed to accept only 1294 refugees. You refused, went to the European court, lost, called the verdict “a shame”, and still refused.

Orbán: More than 20 states did not adhere to the quota, yet, it is only we who are being criticized, this is a case of applying double standards. The fact is that the verdict only referred to the EU resolution that basically expired at the same time… there must be new discussions.

Bild: Would you, otherwise, have accepted the verdict and accepted the refugees?

Orbán: Yes. We stand on the basis of the rule of law.

Bild: But the EU is not only based on law, but also on solidarity. Why can Germany accept 2 million refugees, while Hungary can’t accept 2,000?

“Christian and Islamic society will never blend”

Orbán: The difference is: It was you who wanted the migrants. Not us. We do our job by protecting the Schengen outer border with Serbia. This has cost us about 1 billion Euros additionally since 2015, and Brussels is not paying a single cent for that. The solution to the problem certainly isn’t to distribute people, who reside in the EU illegally, across the whole EU territory. We think one should help where the problem lies, and not take immigration here.

Bild: Why don’t the Hungarians want refugees? 

Orbán: We do not view these people as Muslim refugees. We view them as Islamic invaders. For example, in order to arrive in Hungary, from Syria, you have to cross four countries, all of them not as rich as Germany, but stable. So, already there, they aren’t running for their lives. This, too, proves that they are economic migrants, looking for a better life.

Bild: You say that you represent the will of the Hungarian people.

Orbán: I can only speak for the Hungarian people, and they don’t want migration. According to my understanding, it is not possible that the people have an opinion about such a profound topic, and the government refuses to act accordingly. We are talking about the sovereignty and the cultural identity of the country. We need to reserve the right to decide who can live on Hungarian territory.

Bild: No Muslims, apparently…

Orbán: We believe that a high number of Muslims necessarily leads to parallel societies, as Christian and Muslim society will never blend. Multiculturalism is just an illusion. We don’t want such a thing. And we don’t want to be coerced. Take Budapest as a positive example: a cosmopolitan melting pot without parallel societies.

Viktor Orban gives blunt and powerful interview on Hungarian TV

Below, the old Hungarian joke PM Orban referred to:

The fox and the wolf meet in the forest.

— Hey wolf, let’s beat up the rabbit!

— Why?

— Well if he has a hat, that’s why; if he doesn’t, then that’s why!

This is what they do. They beat up the rabbit badly…

They meet again a week later.

— Hey wolf, let’s beat up the rabbit again!

— What will be the reason this time?

— Well, we’ll ask for a cigarette and if he gives us one with a filter, that’s why; if he gives one without a filter, then that’s why!

They find the rabbit:

— Hey rabbit, give us a cigarette!

— OK, what type do you want, with or without a filter?

— Hmmm… look, wolf, he’s not wearing a hat again!

Thank you CrossWare for the translation of this video, as well as this joke which was referred to, early in it by Viktor Orban.

 

Viktor Orban speech of the century: “We will prevent the implementation of the Soros plan”

Posted on by

It appears that there may be an effort to stop this speech from being seen. There is something funny about the numbers at Youtube. So I am going to make it a sticky post, and ask you all to please watch it if you have not, and tweet and email the link to it to all you know. This is the thing we need. To know there is at least one leader in the world willing to speak it like it is, and stand up to the forces we know are trying to bring down classical civ.
