On page 11 of the prestigious German daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, a lengthy article entitled "How to get to the rainbow" appeared.
The author of the article is Peter Gauweiler, who was one of the vice-presidents of the CSU until 2015.
Peter Gauweiler is not unknown in Germany, in fact, according to some, he is the great doyen of the CSU, one of the most credible politicians. He used to be a Bavarian minister and representative; he switched to the federal political level in 2002, the year of the great Stoiber campaign, where he was a member of the Bundestag until 2015. He takes on many public roles, and is also a real individual who does not hide his thoughts, even if they are not popular.
In his critical writing, Gauweiler addresses, among other things, the issues of the European Union, especially the politicization and behavior of what he calls arrogant European commissioners, who constantly put their clients - the member states - on the line. He quotes former parliament president Martin Schulz, who says that Hungary would have no chance of being admitted to the EU due to its democratic deficit. However, according to the author, Viktor Orbán's democratic legitimacy is greater than that of all EU commissioners combined.
According to the article, the procedure and attack on Hungary by the Germans was not only incorrect, but also ignored the common history of the two countries. According to the author's view, Merkel would certainly have failed in the federal parliamentary elections held in 2017 if Viktor Orbán had not stopped the flow of refugees by closing the Balkan route and protecting the Hungarian border. He also reminds us that it was the Hungarians who opened the border in 1989 to pave the way for German unity.
In closing, he stands up for our country, criticizing the Dutch Prime Minister and his words that Hungary should leave the EU. Even before this , the Hungarian government party was pushed out of the European People's Party, and this is also a sign that disturbing voices are eliminated, in other words, they do not tolerate other opinions. However, these "opinion bunkers" are not viable.
