Hungarian Prime Minister: If Brussels Tries to Relocate Migrants, ‘I Will Veto’
breitbart ^ | THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D.

Posted on 06/06/2017 7:49:06 AM PDT by davikkm

The outspoken Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, has drawn a line in the sand with Brussels over the question of immigration and national sovereignty, promising a veto if the European Union (EU) attempts to coerce Hungary into taking in more migrants. In a live radio broadcast last Friday, Orbán told interviewer Éva Kocsis that he is opposed to transferring any further decision-making authority to Brussels, especially regarding areas that impinge directly on Hungarian sovereignty, such as immigration, the fixing of taxes and wages, and Hungary’s border fence.

In his critique of “the Brussels bureaucrats,” the Prime Minister insisted that he is not “anti-Europe” but wishes merely to halt the EU’s creeping arrogation of further powers to itself and to maintain the current relationship as it is.

“So when we say, ‘Stop, no further,’ we’re simply defending the status quo,” he said.

For instance, if Brussels tries “to force the relocation programme on us at our next upcoming summit – which is due sometime in June – I’ll exercise my veto,” Orbán continued.

Turn your back, and walk away from the E.U. Mr Orban.

Show the other pathetic leaders just how easy it is, and how it should be done.

You must lead your people off a cliff, or we will not think you virtuous.

More and more it seems like the sides are lining up. Poland now Hungary and one or two others. I don’t know where this is going but it looks like things are coming to head.

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. And that’s my concern. Should Orbán be turned out of office over some domestic issue, his replacement might decide to reverse course, and open Hungary up to the “immigrants”. Then it’s game over.

Sorry for the pessimism. But governments rotate. It’s the nature of democracy.

It occurs to me that it is more likely and easier for a country to go back to democracy FROM a dictatorship, than it is to go from being Islamic to non-Islamic.

It took hundreds of years to retake Spain from the Muslims, for example.

It’s not lack of compassion (although they lack that, too), it’s part of the Muslim invasion strategy. Every refugee they take in is one less potential soldier invading Europe and the US.

Learn some Hungarian history, before you start spouting off!

Unless a Muslim replaces Orban ( which isn't going to happen any time soon! ), your ridiculous, uneducated opinion is NEVER going to happen in Hungary !

> Learn some Hungarian history, before you start spouting off! <

My grandparents were born in Hungary, and while I’m not fluent in the language, I can get by. So, yes, I know a bit of Hungarian history. I’d like to discuss this more with you, but I try to avoid insult sessions.

And I do stand by my weakest link comment. Great nations can falter because of one bad, temporary leader.

Viszlát.

Jo estet.

Hungarians have a "blood hatred" for Muslims ( also the Russians/the USSR, the Nazis, the old Hapsburgs...except for the Empress Elizabeth and her suicide son, Rudolph, etc.; their overlords of old )though that may not be quite as strong as it used to be )which has been handed down, through the generations, both there and through the generations of their American descents. Perhaps you missed out in that, but it's something that I have found to be true, whenever I have met others of Hungarian heritage.

It's not your "weakest link" comment that I took umbrage with, in particular.

Unless that POS, Schwartz Gyorgy ( George Soros ) becomes the leader of Hungary, or one of his hand picked minions does ( very unlikely! ), neither Orban nor his successor is going to take down the wall and/or accept more stinking, so-called "refugees"!

Ignore my reply, if you care to discount what I have to say; however, it'll be your loss.

If you are unfamiliar with Petofi and/or Kossouth, read their works; the words still ring true!
