Orbán Urges Europeans to Stand Against ‘Sovietisation’ of EU, Maintain Continent’s Christian Roots
Breitbart ^ | 10/24/16 | Virginia Hale

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán urged Europeans to stand against the “Sovietisation” of Europe and said the continent must close its borders to migrants, at an event Sunday commemorating the anti-communist uprising of 1956.

Warning that the European Union (EU) must not be turned into a “modern age empire”, Mr. Orbán defended the nation state and insisted the continent should hold on to its Christian roots.

“People who love their freedom must save Brussels from Sovietisation, from people who want to tell us who we should live with in our countries,” the Prime Minister told the crowd gathered in Budapest.

He declared: “We Hungarians want to remain a European nation, rather than become an ethnic minority in Europe.”

“It is only our national independence that can save us from being devoured by an empire,” Mr Orbán said, asserting that it was the “national idea” of Hungarian identity that prevented the country from being devoured by the Soviet Union.

The Prime Minister told the audience that, as the heirs of the freedom fighters of 1956, Hungarians “cannot let Europe cut the roots that made it great and also helped us survive communist oppression”.

Hungary refused to take in those “migrants” from Syria and elsewhere, many of whom are terrorists going to Europe with the specific purpose to attack and destroy Europe.

Idiot Merkel wanted all European countries to take them in. Hungary held a vote, 95% of those who voted didn’t want them. So he is not taking them in. The EU is upset.

I believe we can have a sound refugee policy ONCE WE SECURE OUR BORDERS and get our own system in order plus deal with the people already here who are suspected drug dealers, criminals, or terrorists. I am all for an an open country, but not a naked country. Right now our country is naked.
