Hungary's Far-Right Government Has Been Getting a Boost from President Trump Ahead of E.U. Elections

FFor months, the European Union’s leaders have waged a fierce battle against Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. They have accused him of targeting minorities and opposition media, and threatened to withdraw Hungary’s voting rights in the E.U. Parliament, and to eject permanently members of Orbán’s far-right Fidesz party from the biggest political grouping in the legislative body in Brussels.

Yet none of that has succeeded in softening Orbán’s views — far from it. As his campaign has ramped up for this week’s crucial E.U. Parliament elections, so has his hardline rhetoric — especially his opposition to migrants coming to Europe. In his annual speech to mark Hungary’s national day on March 15, Orbán said that unless the E.U. halts the flow of migrants to the Continent, “Europe will no longer belong to Europeans.”

Last Monday, 10 days ahead of the E.U. elections, that hard line received a pre-election boost, when President Donald Trump welcomed Orban to the White House

Excellent.

Hungary already fortified their borders and is not letting in the so-called “migrants” from the ME, some of whom are indeed terrorists.

How dare they love their country! How dare they not embrace their new Islamic masters! How dare they want a place for their posterity to live!

These are all things that make you the far right these days.

The only way the twats in charge of the EU or their counterparts in the DNC will approve of you is if you’re a fellow Cultural suicide fetitishist who hates the morally upright and the sane.

They are the very best sorts of enemies to be disliked by because if those people hate you then you must be getting something correct.

> “Far Right”? <

This is yet another example of the MSM editorializing under the guise of reporting the news. Orbán is a conservative. But that word won’t do. It’s too normal. So let’s use something harsher.

Hungary has ‘no homo promo’ laws and they are encouraging natural family formation.

Only Reagan didn’t abandon Hungary’s quest for freedom since the 1956 Revolution that was crushed in blood. Now the Left wants to blame him for Hungary’s own desire to set its own path.

Typical Marxist traitors and stooges behind this attack on Trump.
