The house inhabited by European conservatives has recently become more and more empty, but Fidesz is ready to fill this house with life again, opening its doors to new ideas and those who want to move in, so that more and more people can experience how good it is here, freely to live - wrote Katalin Novák, vice president of Fidesz, in an article published in the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag.
The minister without portfolio responsible for families emphasized in his article "The European home of conservatives" that Fidesz represents true conservative values, and Europe needs a democratic right wing that does not try to conform to the left-green zeitgeist, but shapes the future of Europe through the cooperation of right-wing parties .
"In this way, we can create a home for millions of Europeans in a political sense, and this can also mean the rebirth of the European democratic right. This is our Willkommenskultur for Europe"
he said.
Katalin Novák pointed out that the previous claim of Manfred Weber, the leader of the EPP faction, according to which Fidesz has become far-right and formed an alliance with the AFD, is not true. For Fidesz in Germany, the CDU and the CSU are natural political allies, "we are not planning to enter into an alliance with other German parties, even if some people definitely want to give that impression," he underlined.
Fidesz strictly distances itself from parties that do not stand up for the constitutional order, he wrote.
"We are the only such political force in Hungary, since the entire opposition, consisting of post-communists, socialists, liberals and greens, entered into an alliance with an openly anti-Semitic, racist party (Jobbik), in order to put forward common candidates against us in the next elections."
said the politician.
"This political obscenity" had no echo at the European level, just as much as the recent decision of the European Court of Justice, "by which it classified a Hungarian advertising tax that allegedly violates press freedom as legal," he noted.
The vice president of Fidesz called the accusations that Hungary is an isolated, backward country dominated by an oppressive regime a mistake.
The Central European cooperation of the Visegrad Four is outstanding, the Hungarian Prime Minister will soon be the leader with the most experience in the European Council, and now, after the withdrawal of Fidesz from the European People's Party, it has become clear that the majority of the parties of the democratic right would be happy to develop closer cooperation with the Hungarian government party - written by.
He recalled that on April 1, in Budapest, Viktor Orbán received the leading representatives of the strongest parties of the European right-wing party families: Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawieczki and Matteo Salvini, the president of the League, the most popular Italian party participating in the government led by Mario Draghi. The three leaders agreed to reorganize the European democratic right, emphasized Katalin Novák.
He stated
"we will cooperate in the future with those who say yes to freedom, nation, family, Christianity and human dignity, but say no to migration, imperial logic, communism, censorship and anti-Semitism".
Katalin Novák also touched on the fact that the coronavirus epidemic also puts European cooperation to the test, as European citizens find it difficult to accept that there are few vaccines approved at the European level, procurement is slow, and decision-making is hampered.
"There are more and more people who feel that freedom, the nation, the traditional family, Christian culture, and human dignity are values that are no longer represented by nominally center-right parties"
he said.
"These people are rightly outraged that they are stigmatized, excluded, and discriminated against because of their opinions that differ from the left-liberal mainstream," he wrote, citing as an example the Hungarian goalkeeping coach Zsolt Petry, "who was fired by Hertha BSC with immediate effect for his tolerant, but different opinion from the German mainstream." because of".
According to Katalin Novák
"the question arises more and more often: how can it be that the left has only the middle and the right has only the edge?".
He underlined that "in these dangerous times, Hungary is also exerting its strength to defend itself".
"In addition to Western vaccines, we have doubled the number of vaccinations that can be administered using safe Russian and Chinese vaccines, so we have achieved the second highest vaccination rate among EU member states. We raised the wages of doctors, launched Hungary's largest home-building program, and from next year we will provide personal income tax exemptions for young people," Katalin Novák wrote, adding that meanwhile, politicians and governments all over Europe are weakening or failing due to corruption scandals and lies.
The vice president of Fidesz emphasized
"we Hungarians, who have lived as a Christian nation in the heart of Europe for more than a thousand years, know where we are going. We have a definite idea of how to build a competitive, modern country while preserving our culture and national values. We welcome everyone who comes with respect and with the intention of a common future"
he said.
According to Katalin Novák, in the last 11 years of Fidesz's government, "three decisions respecting the European legal order were made, which in the European space dominated by left-liberal media and politics are considered an unforgivable sin: in 2011, we stipulated in the Basic Law that marriage is between a man and a woman relationship, in 2015 we said no to mass immigration and now Hungarians are also vaccinated with vaccines approved by our national authorities".
According to the politician, these decisions "can be considered a crime since a large member state deviates from this path".
