Hungarian Conservative

Let us have a look at what is behind the results and what conclusions Europe can draw from the German elections.

The European Court of Justice ruled that Hungary failed to respect EU law by “pushing back” people entering the country illegally, but the Hungarian government has defied the ruling.

What did this enhanced French-German cooperation mean for the Visegrád countries, and what might the future hold for the two coalitions in the European Union? 

Brussels’ ongoing battle with Poland and Hungary over the supposed rule-of-law violations shows why we might need to rethink the whole integration project

Can the country retain the benefits of Christian Democracy, that is, its Christian ethics, namely human rights and personal liberty, even if Hungarians stop believing in Christianity?

Interesting developments might promote cooperation between French and Hungarian political parties on a scale unseen before amidst respective electoral campaigns.

While Brexiteers argued that the EU is a threat to democracy, Hungarian conservatives were fixated on what might happen to the stock exchange if the UK leaves the EU.

Pál Teleki, famous Hungarian politician and geographer, believed that the preservation of the Carpathian Basin as an undivided hydrographical unit could serve as a compelling argument of natural geography against splitting up the region politically.

Is Central Europe as enthusiastic about its Western neighbours today as it was in 1989? 

The most persecuted religion of the world is Christianity. The Hungarian government was the first in the world to establish a special administrative organ, the State Secretariat for the Aid of Persecuted Christians, and it launched the Hungary Helps Program in 2017.

Christian politicians need to stand by the truth to prevent the cultural suicide of the West.

Joe Biden has still not raised awareness to Christian persecution. As Biden remains silent on this issue more and more American Christians urge the president to speak up and help Christians in need. 

A well-known Hungarian politician is said to have remarked that Hungary was a difficult country to govern, as the country comprised ten million freedom fighters.

‘Angela Merkel has turned the powerful conservative people’s party CDU into a party of arbitrariness’

Beyond business-as-usual cooperation between the
Visegrád countries, the chapter “Partnership” foresees a greater role for the so-called V4+ platform, with other partners joining in from time to time.

Following two decades of Westernization after 1989, the western and central parts of Europe began to drift apart and then to diverge, not without historical precedent.

Let us consider a few examples, the most widely accessed sources of international news to represent that Hungary is increasingly and undeservedly depicted negatively. 

Boomers are commonly seen by more recent generations in a colder world as having lived lives of
perpetual indulgence—pampered as children by fond parents home from the war, indulged as rebellious students by liberal professors who praised them as ‘the most idealistic generation in history’, enabled to live a hippie lifestyle as employees, thanks to a tight US labour market in a world hungry for US goods.

Hungary as a member state has the right to decide what it wants to teach in schools and how it defines family. It is alright for Hungary to say that ‘this is our politics and nobody is forced to live in Hungary’.

Pope Francis missed this opportunity to embrace a country that has charted a remarkably Catholic course in the heart of secular Europe.

Hungary is sending a clear message: no one shall try to enter the EU through Hungary illegally, it will not be successful.

The problem with social media is that the business model—the medium itself—is founded on not just a misunderstanding, but an exclusion, of what it is to be human.

‘Those who meet PM Orbán can only be radical and far-right, populist and alt-right actors according to the left.’

According to Hungary’s viewpoint, due to the changing status quo in world politics, it is essential to strengthen economic relations with the Eastern major powers.

Today’s “objective truth” is not what the majority of the scientific community accepts as such; rather it is what most people share on social media.

Dissatisfaction with the Commission’s performance has grown and is still growing; even member states that have been pillars of EU integration, such as Austria, Germany, and Sweden, have expressed their dissatisfaction.

‘The problem is that those who protest against present-day globalization do not know how to express their feelings’

The clear winner of the past hundred years is socialism, with a track record of struggles between its various
versions throughout the first half of the twentieth century.

Illiberal democracy
is a set-up, such as Hungary, in which democracy prevails, but without the stultifying carapace of liberal (or “liberal”) pieties and prejudices.

‘The IT giants are often more a part of our lives than our own families, and are slowly coming to know more about us not just than the state, but than we ourselves know’
