Hungary: Viktor Orban welcomes launch of “anti-immigration” axis to change EU direction

Jan 10, 2019 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban “has welcomed the creation of an anti-immigration “axis” in Europe” that would “team up with countries like Italy and Poland to change the bloc’s direction.”

The focus of the “anti-immigrant” drive is opposition to mass Muslim migration.

Orban stated that “he believed there would be ‘two civilizations’ in the EU: ‘one mixed Muslim-Christian in the west and one traditional, in central Europe.’”

Italian interior minister Matteo Salvini is also calling for a “Rome-Warsaw axis to build ‘a new Europe’ that was against migration.”

During his election campaign last year, Salvini stated that “Islam is incompatible with the constitution,” and in response to Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz closing down seven mosques last summer, “Salvini hailed the decision and called for a meeting to discuss common strategies.”

The UN Migration Pact, intended to legitimize economic migrants across the board, is instead consolidating resistance to the EU’s plans for mass migration.

“Far-right European governments launch plan to take over EU with anti-immigration ‘axis,’” by Jon Stone, Independent, January 10, 2019:

Hungary’s prime minister has welcomed the creation of an anti-immigration “axis” in Europe that could see like-minded far-right EU leaders join forces to run the union.

Viktor Orban said he wanted to see an anti-immigration majority in the EU institutions and that he would team up with countries like Italy and Poland to change the bloc’s direction.

The far-right leader said there could be no “compromise” on the migration issue and that he would have to “fight” leaders such as Emmanuel Macron to “respect Hungarians’ decision not to become an immigrant nation”.

“I wish for Europe to have a political force that is to the right of the European People’s Party [the transnational centre-right party that dominates the European Commission], a Rome-Warsaw axis that is capable of governing, capable of taking responsibility and opposed to immigration,” he said in a speech on Thursday.

Mr Orban also said he believed there would be “two civilizations” in the EU: “one mixed Muslim-Christian in the west and one traditional, in central Europe”.

Matteo Salvini, the far-right interior minister in the Italian government, earlier today called for a Rome-Warsaw axis to build “a new Europe” that was against migration.

“I’d like to create a pact, an alliance for everyone who wants to save Europe, the more of us, the better,” Mr Salvini had said.

Poland’s right-wing populist prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki said earlier this week that “with Mr Salvini we are on the same page with regards to many European matters”. He cited alleged “discrimination” against Poland by Brussels.

Austria’s right-wing chancellor Sebastian Kurz last year called for an anti-immigration “axis” using the same language….

    Seems mush like countries just before and during the WW’s…taking sides and forming alliances to do battle. Evil is always starting trouble, continuing trouble and Good has to take a stand against it.
    The rider on the red horse has been granted to “take peace away from the earth.”

      The chink of light has been there for a long time. What you are seeing is a noticeable, if still modest, widening of it.

      • observer says

        Jan 10, 2019 at 6:49 pm

        Not nearly noticeable enough Eduardo… But this is a matter of individual perception I guess.

        Not nearly…
        But yes, better than nothing.
        And I guess I did say the merest chink of light “…at last”, inferring no prior light. On that score I concede. I’m being pedantic here huh…

        Here’s to ROBERT SPENCER AND TEAM who risk life and limb with their persistent whistling into the wind…
        The wind = Western deaf and dumb politicians… and a few others besides…

        Yes. There is also the Three Seas Initiative (12 states), of which Visegrád (V4) is the core part. The V4 states already produce statistics as a single unit. Other collaborations include Austrian and Hungarian forces assisting non-EU Balkan states in shoring up their border defences against migrant incursions.

        It must not be forgotten that asinine as the European Parliament sometimes is, the voices against the EU’s headlong rush to dhimmitude have been more frequent and increasingly forceful, especially those of Italy and Poland, but also the Netherlands and Belgium. See, for example, https://visegradpost.com/en/2017/06/02/polands-premier-openly-challenges-the-brussels-elites-responsible-for-the-deads-of-the-terrorist-attacks/

        Just as an aside, the V4 is often accused of being anti-immigration. This is not true. They are anti *illegal* immigration, anti *uncontrolled* immigration, “control” being *their control over their own borders*. Byelorus is the last remaining Stalinist totalitarian state and Ukraine has been in deep trouble for some time now. People are fleeing both countries (though nothing like the orchestrated super-surges of Muslim “refugees”). Some Byelorussians and Ukranians enter as refugees and others as elective migrants. Where have such refugees sought refuge? In Poland, Slovakia and Hungary, right across the border, the *first safe countries* they’ve come to. In other words, they qualify to be called and be treated as *refugees*. The elective migrants, most of whom are economic migrants, are also in these three V4 border countries plus in Czechia, *not* the first safe country across the border, but they’re also not claiming to be refugees. *All* of these cross-border movements are official and under V4 control. They have no interest in admitting Byelorussians or Ukranians who are going to be a problem for them. All they seek is to apply this exact same standard to *anyone* who seeks entry to their countries. It is, after all, their sovereign domains.

    Calling out snarl words. ‘Far-right’ for politicians like Messrs Orbán and Salvini is a snarl word. The left has its snarl words, you know. It just doesn’t recognise them.

    Bravo, Viktor Orban! Salvini is another oasis of sanity.

    This is encouraging news. I hope that Victor Orban leads the way to sanity in Europe. EU proved failure or at least new/opposite direction. The media has to side with the PEOPLE in order to expedite the process.

    Strange , Italy is against migration yet the Pope rules from there. He is pro-everything. So is there then tension between this Argentinian Pope and Italian government? Or is the Italian government bereft of theological understanding? This impasse is exactly why people have no respect for the Church. The Church is the decider of values…

    • Anjuli Pandavar says

      The Pope rules Vatican City, the smallest country in the world at less than half a square Kilometre and located entirely inside the Italian capital of Rome. Vatican City is a sovereign state distinct from Italy.

    “Far right” because they want to preserve their sovereinty and their culture and protect their citizens from eventually being dominated and oppressed by Islam? If that is the definition of what is “Far right” then count me in.

    Reading between the lines of propaganda:
    “Far-right European governments”
    “The far-right leader (Viktor Orban)”
    “Matteo Salvini, the far-right interior minister”
    “Poland’s right-wing populist prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki”
    “Austria’s right-wing chancellor Sebastian Kurz”
    …so says the far Left-wing, not so “INDEPENDENT” news outlet.
    Far right and Right-wing are dog whistles for “Nazi.” Any nationalist populist who wants to preserve their country, culture, heritage, language, borders and protect their citizens from foreign invaders are automatic Nazis to the far-Left wing nation-destroying Marxist Globalists in all the Western nations.

    I agree with some of the comments stating the crack of light is getting wider and more light in coming in. Bravo to all those countries that are forming up against the evils of islam, Marxism and neo-nazis. My ancestors are from Hungary and Poland. Came to this country LEGALLY all long time ago.
    Again I say Bravo!!!
