According to László Kövér, the fate of minorities now threatens not only European national minorities, but also European majority nations. The President of the Parliament spoke about this in the castle church of Marosvásárhely on Sunday, as the main patron of the whirlwind Vásárhely cultural festival, after the ecumenical service held as part of the series of events.
The politician mentioned: in the wider world and in Europe, " there are abysses that are capable of engulfing countries and nations, that are capable of destroying the fate of generations, that threaten a future that cannot be lived with human dignity. "
He added: Hungarians equate being a minority with the fate of political subjugation, economic plunder and national humiliation. He believed that Europe should also deal with the issue of national minorities, because the fate of minorities can overtake any nation in any European state - even those living in an overwhelming numerical majority.
He recalled: Hungarians abroad have been fighting for a century to preserve the homeliness of their homeland, and for example, so that no one can artificially change its ethnic proportions. However, according to him, the citizens of the European majority nations are also facing these problems today.
The native citizens of the large Western European cities are experiencing nowadays how they are deprived of the homeliness of their homeland and their hometown, disguised as a refugee issue, by the means of illegal migration and resettlement, and how their own European homeland is alienated from them," said the politician.
László Kövér believed:
we are on the threshold of a "post-Christian" and "post-national" era defined by artificial guilt.
" All Europeans should feel guilty about climate change, people living today should feel guilty about their ancestors, those about to have children should feel guilty about the fetus they conceive, whites should feel guilty about blacks, men should feel guilty about women, heterosexuals should feel guilty they should have a sense of guilt towards homosexuals, the elderly should have a sense of guilt towards the young, and Europeans should have a sense of guilt towards the inhabitants of all continents of the world, " he said.
According to him, the new culture of guilt that is being built now differs from the ideals of the Nazis and Communists only in that it does not mark a minority with the stamp of inferiority and collective guilt, but turns everyone against everyone.
„Instead of the destructive culture of guilt, we want a culture of responsible self-awareness, and instead of the lack of identity created by artificial divisions, we want to preserve our natural self-identity. We want to remain Christian Hungarians who love their family and their country ”
the politician stated.
László Kövér believed: Marosvásárhely has an intellectual strength far beyond its borders and an ability to renew itself, and the key to this is that the city believes in the ideals of Hungarian quality, Transylvanian self-organization and European dignity, and sets an example for all Hungarians and Romanians, all Europeans for community.
He recalled: the participants of the 1937 Vásárhely Meeting organized under the chairmanship of Áron Tamási told Bucharest that " the Romanian state can fulfill its mission only if it protects and supports all the peoples living within its framework with equal care in the spirit of Christian ethical requirements and true democracy ". And Budapest was reminded that " Central European Hungarians form a single linguistic and cultural community, of which Romanian Hungarians are a constituent part ".
He believed:
these messages are still valid to this day, as is the conclusion of the meeting that " the management of the life of the Hungarian minority in Transylvania can only take place according to Christian moral and democratic national requirements ".
After the service, Ferenc Péter, the president of the Maros county municipality, welcomed the event series of the Vásárhelyi whirlwind. He recalled that Marosvásárhely received the right to organize fairs from King Mátyás, and Gábor Bethlen declared it a free royal city. He believed that the organizers of the whirlwind Vásárhely cultural festival are guided by goals similar to those of great statesmen.
In Marosvásárhely, the events of the Vásárhely whirlwind cultural festival will end on Sunday evening with the concert of Kowalsky and Vega.
