The strongest bulwark of Hungarians, caught between two fires, is a sovereign national state capable of action and open to international cooperation and seeking alliances, the Speaker of the House declared on Tuesday in Szeged.

László Kövér said at the presentation of the Ferenc Pálfy Award, named after Szeged's longest-serving mayor, that "we have been building such a state since 2010 on behalf of the majority of Hungarian voters".

The President of the Parliament stated that we, Hungarians,

we are currently caught between two fires: armed conflicts are taking place in our eastern neighborhood, and destructive political and spiritual tides are towering over us from the west.

The identity of the attackers is not easy to identify, but in the spirit of globalism, they are characterized by conscious anti-state and fierce national hatred, visceral anti-Christianity disguised as value neutrality, and unreservedly anti-family, promoted as gender ideology, and ultimately, anti-democracy and freedom hiding in the denial of human rights, the politician emphasized.

He added:

in European politics, their goal is to limit and then eliminate the sovereignty of national states as public authorities;

the tool of this gigantic plan is the European Union, which was diverted from its original purpose – cooperation between equal nation-states – and held hostage to private interests, and then replaced by an imperial dictatorship planned under the cover name of the United States of Europe.

In the economy, the goal is the indebtedness and deindustrialization of the European states, and the tool for this is the tragically flawed – and unrealistic environmental protection goals, and more recently cloaked in the slogan of wartime solidarity – EU economic policy in Brussels.

In social policy, the aim is to make the middle class indebted and dispossessed,

because without the middle class there is no democracy, there is no public power dedicated to the protection of the public interest and the common good, which would be a counterweight to the private powers - said László Kövér.

He went on to say that the goal of Western - and especially European - cultural policy is infantilization

Western nations and societies should not be able to recognize or defend their own interests if necessary.

The Speaker stated that in the Western world, Christian churches, democratic national states, and family communities based on the loving community of one man and one woman are meant to protect and represent the values ​​that ensure human dignity and freedom. Therefore, these institutions are under constant political, economic and mental siege by those private powers that see them as an obstacle to the unlimited satisfaction of their power needs, said László Kövér.

Named after one of the symbolic figures of Szeged's heyday, Ferenc Pálfy, who governed the city as mayor from 1872 to 1904, the award was founded by parliamentarian Béla Mihálffy (KDNP) for the city's development, economy, scientific or educational life, culture, sports, religious life or the health of the people who live here. or in recognition of work done for social welfare.

The Ferenc Pálfy Award, presented for the first time - which comes with a certificate and a small sculpture of sculptor Lőrinc Popovics - was received by Katalin Rádi, president of the Korábban Érkeztem Foundation, Judit Plesovskzkiné Ujfaluczki, director of the Szeged Training Center, and Imréné Péntek, managing director of Gemma School Nonprofit Közhhasznú Kft. over.
