I don’t know how he thought it was a good idea. Sure they left out “race mixing” from the official English translation, but did they really think no one that speaks Hungarian will leak the real translation?
Is this Orban’s “rivers of blood” moment?
From the article:
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is a provocateur. He uses despicable statements — on the death penalty, on migrants, on Roma on the European Union — to divide opinion at home and abroad.
In a speech Saturday in Romania, where Orban addresses a school program every summer, the prime minister’s remarks were especially polarizing. **He carped about “mixed-race” populations and the “flooding” of Europe with non-European migrants, and referred to the racist concept of “population exchange.”**
The remarks triggered a **political earthquake in Hungary**. A close friend of Orban’s who was his special representative on social inclusion and modernization, has resigned. Jewish and the daughter of parents who survived the Holocaust, the sociologist said **the speech was a ”pure Nazi text” and the discourse was one of clear ”racial hatred.”** She called it not only discriminatory, but ”completely unacceptable.”
The International Auschwitz Committee also slammed Orban’s statements, terming them “stupid and dangerous,” and said they reminded Holocaust survivors “of the dark times of their own exclusion and persecution.”
In a personal letter written to Orban on Tuesday, the sociologist wrote that she had no “other choice” but to resign and end her relationship with him “due to such a shameful position.” She said that his speech went against all her “basic values.”
**Orban retaliated** with his own letter. “You can’t be serious about accusing me of racism after 20 years of working together,” he wrote. “You know that, according to my understanding, God created all people in his own image. **Therefore, in the case of people like me, racism is excluded ab ovo.”**
So, EU, care doing something? Orban not only is leeching off your monetary funds and spending as he pleases for his conservative right wing party, not only is he Putin’s puppet and helps the Russian regime circumvent sanctions but he has also come out as an open Nazi bloated racist during a speech.
How is refusing people residence in your country equivalent to capturing people from neighboring countries and putting them in concentration camps/genociding them?
There are benefits to ethnically homogeneous societies such as social trust, lower crime etc.
