‘As long as we don’t have a shared history book in the Carpathian Basin, we have work to do’ — An Interview with Zsolt Szekeres, President of the Hungarian Human Rights Foundation (HHRF)

‘Since 1990, we have had to find new ways of explaining the issues.

The countries have European Union membership, and many border issues have disappeared thanks to the Schengen agreement, but problems remain.’

‘Clearly, music in itself wasn’t “diverse” enough. The music, songs and dances of nearly fifty countries and even more ethnic groups, languages and cultures were not sufficiently diverse. No! Give us drag queens! Make it colourful, smelly, and sexualized, with a hint of antisemitism, and children will love it! Let’s brainwash them and shout to the world: this is Europe!’

Could Europe Turn to the Right?

‘The forthcoming European Parliament elections hold particular significance…As Orbán emphasized in his address on 15 March: “We are on the brink of a sovereign revolution in America and Europe, where normal life can be restored, and a great era of Western nations can commence.”’

Hungary Is about to Deliver a Long-Awaited, Meaningful EU Presidency
