Hungary’s PM: ‘Hungary Has Christian Roots … There Is No Place For Multiculturalism’ By Michael W. Chapman for CNS News
In an interview for a book published last week, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stressed that Hungary has been a part of Europe for 1,000 years and that its critics in the European Union are upset because Hungary’s constitution states that the country has “Christian roots,” that it rejects “multiculturalism,” that every child has “a right to a mother and a father,” and that the country has a right to “defend its borders,” especially against the threat of Islam.
The book, I Pulled the Thread of Lies and Everything Unravelled, is by Phillippe de Villiers, an essayist and a former Secretary of State for Culture in France. In a chapter about Budapest, Villiers discusses a conversation he had with Prime Minister Orban.
Concerning criticism from EU headquarters in Brussels, Orban said, “I am not concerned about the Brussels trials …. My grandmother taught me to be humble in adversity. I must put up with all of this. I can do nothing but place myself in God’s hands.”

“What outrages our opponents the most,” he said, “is the fact that in our Constitution we have written that Hungary has Christian roots; that here there is no place for multiculturalism; that a child has the right to a mother and a father; and that our nation has the right to defend its borders – which are also the borders of the European Union.”
The prime minister expressed concern about the divisive nature of Islamization in certain EU countries. “If they leave us alone and do not force Islamisation upon us, Europe can live on as a club of free nations,” he said. “If, however, they force us to accept the U.N.’s migration compact or the decisions of the European Commission, thereby aligning us with their permissive Western policy, disintegration cannot be ruled out.”
