If libs explode with rage, we must have done something right. Who cares anyway? The following has already been written by Magyar Hírlap.
The news of the Hungarian referendum on child protection almost blew up the Twitter community. The right wing praised the Hungarian government, the liberals were furious. Hyun-Ho Cha, the spokesperson of Amnesty International in Germany, the referendum is only an illusion of democracy, since there is practically no media independent of the state in Hungary.
The employee of the organization, which is also supported by the Soros Foundation, was reminded on Twitter that the non-government site Erosito.hu, according to its own admission, is reviewing thirty independent media and plans to involve even more. Amnesty International's Dutch organization stated: a referendum should not be held, but the law should be withdrawn. According to Andy Legon, a British activist from Avaaz, which also belongs to the Soros network, the referendum will be a breeding ground for homophobia and transphobia.
According to German social democratic politician Katja Mast, human rights cannot be voted on. Reinier van Lanschot, co-chairman of the Volt pan-European party, stated that the referendum is a divisive and polarizing tool, and cannot be used to justify discrimination.
The German Free Democrat (FDP) Jens Brandenburg responded: "democracy is more than the dictatorship of the majority". According to her compatriot Hannah Neumann of the Green Party, minority rights cannot be decided by the majority.
According to Maximilian Krah, a member of the European Parliament of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), Viktor Orbán will most likely win the referendum, but this will not affect the union, because for them, LGBTQ is more important than democracy, since the leftist view of human rights is totalitarian.
According to Thierry Mariani, politician of the French National Consolidation, Orbán is giving a lesson in democracy, asking people about the ideology that the EU wants to impose on them. "When will there be a referendum on immigration in France?" he raised. Lukas Steinwandter, the editor of the German Junge Freiheit, wrote that Orbán made a smart decision and added that he wonders if the EU will brand an entire, freedom-loving people as anti-democratic if it supports the anti-pedophile law with a large majority.
By the way, they are not completely satisfied with the rule of law report of the European Commission (EC) in Brussels. Katarina Barley, the German Social Democrat vice-president of the European Parliament, already wants to see further steps. According to the politician, if the EC takes its own report seriously, it will provide enough grounds to apply the conditionality mechanism attached to the budget to our country and Poland.
Regarding the expectations of Barley, who previously urged the "starvation" of Hungarians and Poles, it is worth recalling that EC Vice-President Vera Jourová herself previously admitted that the mechanism cannot be used in connection with the much-attacked child protection law, as it is meant to protect the financial interests of the union.
