Från premiärminister Viktor Orbáns tal i London igår: "We should not neglect the difference between the member states of the European Union. [..]the same economic policy will surely not be appropriate for the United Kingdom, for Sweden and for Hungary. So, instead of ideology and dogmatism, wide ranging diversity has to be acknowledged and respected. Thesis number three. If we acknowledge diversity, it means that we acknowledge the nation itself as well. Even though being very open, free trade oriented and investment attracting, these economies are national economies. And this leads us to a conclusion of utmost importance: the concept of nation still exists, nation still remains relevant. [..]But I think what is going on in Europe now, is an absolutely open red and green attack against traditional values: against the church, against family, against the nation. [..]The anthropological root of our political institutions is imago Dei, which requires an absolute respect to the human being. As for families: here we should say a straightforward sentence. A community, that is unable to sustain itself biologically will not survive and does not deserve it either. Immigration is not an answer. It is a trick, a bluff. Most European countries including my homeland are suffering from demographic decline. We have to acknowledge: demographically motivated family policies are essential and legitimate. [..] we should try to build up workfare states and replace entitlements with a merit-based society. [..] We abolished the former tax system which had penalized work and was too complicated to be competitive. Our new tax system is a family-based flat tax system, which honors those who want to work more, or to employ more people and who are ready to raise kids. [..] we try to find the proper answers to the challenges of a modern world based on traditional values."
