In an interview with the Register, Péter Szijjártó explains why he believes his government’s EU-opposed immigration policy is necessary to preserve Hungary’s and Europe’s Christian heritage.
In recent years, Hungary has been almost alone in Europe in fighting to retain its Christian heritage and to preserve its Christian identity in the face of a European Union that has tried to do the opposite.
And it has done so largely through what some see as a “hardline” immigration policy, but which the country’s government insists is a sensible policy of controlled immigration (it opposes illegal and irregular immigration and favors tight control of its outer borders).
This week, that policy (along with others) led to a clash with the European Parliament, which is looking at taking unprecedented disciplinary action against the country for allegedly breaching the EU’s core values. If approved, punitive measures could include suspension of Hungary’s voting rights, although this is considered unlikely.
Hungary’s foreign minister, Péter Szijjártó, has called the move “petty revenge” of politicians who favor an open-borders policy across Europe.

I dont care how you feel.
Is what I said a lie? No?
Well ok then.
Well that’s up to them to be slaves again to some foreign capital.
At least they tried breaking free in 1956. Now they are content to take their coins and whine about getting slapped with a rolled-up newspaper. Too bad.
I was agreeing with you but thanks for coming out of the closet as a doche bag
Hungary and Poland. The rest of Europe is a mission field.
Most who joined the EU thought it would help them economically. They were naive in believing that it wouldn’t destroy their culture, way of life, and religion. Sort of like some states here, no doubt?
Doh! I thought you said “Your” not “the”
Well, I will accept guilt as charged. :^/
Long live Hungary.
all is forgiven sorry for jumping on case - been a crappy day - once again sorry
