Victor Orbán to Tucker: "We are Fighting for National Identity and Traditional Christianity"

(08 2021) Article: Tucker Carlson was in Hungary this week and interviewed Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Thursday (GP reported). Orbán called Hungary’s firm border policy “the only reasonable behavior. If someone crosses your border without getting permission from the Hungarian state, you have to defend your border…. If you want to come, there’s a legal procedure.”

Many European countries had “decided to open a new chapter in the history of their nations”, Orbán said. “They call it the New Society, which is a post-Christian, post-national society. They believe firmly, that if different communities, even huge numbers of Muslims and Christian communities are mixed up, the outcome will be good.”

No one can know whether the outcome will good or bad, Orbán said, “but I think it’s very risky.” Each nation has the choice to take such a risk or not, and Hungary had decided not to take that risk, the Hungarian PM said.

“Western liberals cannot accept that inside Western civilization, there’s a conservative national alternative which is more successful at everyday life than the liberal ones. That’s the reason why they criticize us. They are fighting for themselves, not against us. But we are an example that a country based on traditional values, on national identity, based on tradition of Christianity could be successful, even more successful than leftist liberal governments.”
