In his speech on the occasion of the national holiday, the Prime Minister again called for “conquering” Brussels in the European elections on June 9th.
“Since the 1848s around Sándor Petőfi, the time of decision has come for every Hungarian generation, for every young Hungarian,” Viktor Orbán drew a historical parallel. On June 9th, Hungarians will have to decide whether they want to join the global flock on the “boulevard of the Soros empire” or whether they would rather follow the narrow path of the Hungarian righteous. For the Prime Minister, the answer is clear: “If we want to preserve Hungary’s freedom and sovereignty, then we have to conquer Brussels.”
“In the West, the individual is placed above all else; gender and family are seen as constructs of free choice. We Hungarians know that alone in the world you are not free, just lonely.”
No longer stopping in Schwechat
The prospects are not bad, because in history every major empire from the Ottomans to the Soviet Union has cut its teeth on the Hungarians. “We are the David that Goliath better not touch.”
On March 15, 1848, plague shook the foundations of the world at that time, just as the 1956s gave a leak to communism and just as it was the Hungarians again who knocked the first stone out of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
As in Istanbul and Vienna, the lesson was later learned in Berlin and Moscow that it was better to leave the Hungarians alone. On top of that, with the equalizer in 1867, they showed that they do return the respect shown. Today, however, Brussels lacked this understanding and any respect.
“You should know: in 1848 we stopped in Schwechat, but today we will go all the way to Brussels to shake the power structures there.” Hungary no longer wants to tolerate the EU headquarters acting against the interests of Europeans, their existence of the farmers and the middle class, ruined businesses, deprived nations of their rights, left mountains of debt for the rising generations and dragged the whole of Europe into war.
Hungary knows very well what war tastes like, which it rejects because it only benefits from peace. Orbán invoked a turnaround in Europe and America, with new majorities for the sovereignist forces to “return to normal life.”
The first peace march
But what does revolution look like in Hungarian? In March 1848, all of Europe was in flames, but while barricade fighting was taking place in Vienna, “Hungarians wrote poems, formulated twelve points and walked from Pest to Buda, carrying out our first peace march,” said Orbán.
The political prisoners were released without a single shot and the Hungarians went to the theater, where they saw national plays and sang national songs during breaks. “And exactly nine months later to the day, Zoltán Petőfi was born. This is what a Hungarian youth revolution looks like.”
In fact, the big question is not what world we leave to our children, but, conversely, what children we give to this world. “The parents of the 1848s knew that home only exists as long as there is someone there who loves it.”
In today’s Western world, millions are uprooted, without identity, who neither know where they are heading nor show any respect. This is where wars are started and worlds are destroyed.
“We Hungarians want to live differently, we have a past and we have a future,” said the Prime Minister. “We will not allow ourselves to be drawn into war, we will not allow illegal migrants to be forced upon us and we will certainly not allow ourselves to be re-educated. Hungary is free and sovereign, and will remain so!”
“For the left, stones are there to
to be smashed,
we conservatives take the stones,
to build cathedrals.
Forty generations of St. Stephen
über König Matthias, Sándor Petőfi
and the 1956s up to us
built the Cathedral of Hungary,
as it stands today.”
