Hungary Never Renounced Its Sovereignty
OREANDA-NEWS. Hungary never renounced its sovereignty, and the independent Christian State is St. Stephen’s heritage, the Minister heading the Prime Minister’s Office pointed out at the St. Stephen’s Day celebration of the Hódmezővásárhely Municipality on Saturday.
The European Union is not a political alliance with a history of hundreds of years, but an initiative operating in mere test mode, the Minister said, and added: “Brussels is today more in violation of the prohibition of illegal border crossing than the immigrants flooding the continent”, as European leaders “with zero legitimacy who have not been elected by anyone” are attempting to change the membership treaties at their whim, despite the fact that not a single Member State renounced its sovereignty. The Minister, describing the EU as “a construction site”, stressed: Hungary was a passive, silently nodding participant of the EU until 2010, but has become an active player of this cooperation since.
“Hungary has returned (…) we have no reason to remain silent, to be scared of the threats of sanctions, or of the prospect of excommunication”, the Minister said. Mr Lázár pointed out: the EU is today afflicted by internal financial crises, the exit of the United Kingdom and an immigration crisis. In his view, the mandatory settlement quotas would merely sweep the underlying problem under the carpet, namely the fact that Europe’s international reputation has been dramatically compromised, and millions of uncontrolled people are knocking at its doors. The Minister takes the view that the preservation of Hungarian sovereignty also serves to reinforce the European community.
“If needs be, we shall protect Europe from itself”, he said, adding that Hungary will likewise not abandon European citizens who are not satisfied with Brussels. The problem is not the ideal of the EU, but its practice, the Minister underlined. According to Mayor István Almási (Fidesz-KDNP), there are movements unfolding throughout Europe which call Christian statehood and work-based society into question.
We must say no to this, he said, adding: fear and terror cannot creep into people’s lives as is now customary in Europe and has become a part of everyday life.
Mr Almási believes: we must send a message to Brussels to the effect that the Hungarian people stand up for themselves, for their children and grandchildren, for their customs, culture and value. At the end of the ceremony, the new bread was blessed by County Bishop László Kiss-Rigó, and the Ótemplom Reformed Church pastor Csaba Bán said grace.
