As most of my readers will know, the hysteria about George Soros CEU university is still going on and PM Orbán visited Brussels this week twice. Please listen to his Wednesday speech in the European Parliament here:
Unfortunately I don’t know about an English language video for the press conference which Orbán gave in Brussels later on Wednesday. I’d say that was pretty good indeed. 🙂
After EC president Jean-Claude Juncker had official talks (!) with George Soros in the building of the European Commission on Thursday, obviously to pull strings against Hungary, PM Orbán attended the meeting of the European People’s Party, which his Fidesz party is a member of, and the EU summit on Brexit on Saturday. There wasn’t really much new compared to what you may gleam from the above video.
By “popular demand” (from my Twitter followers), I’ll translate the official press release which summarized his stance at the end of the day. I haven’t seen an English version yet.
Hungary’s prime minister has stated on the executive meeting of the European People’s Party that Hungary’s government is open to cooperation with the European Commission in every unresolved legal issues.As we did in the past, we intend to settle the infringement procedures against Hungary via agreements. Hungary’s prime minister has clarified again that the Hungarian government is not adamant about closing George Soros’ Central University in Budapest. However no university may enjoy privileges. Hungarian laws apply to everybody. Higher education institutions, which don’t provide actual education and operate as off-shore mailboxes, will not be allowed by the Hungarian laws in the future either.Hungary’s prime minister has clarified that the National Consultation launched by the government is not against Europe. On the contrary, its purpose is to reform the European Union which malfunctions in many respects at the moment and it needs renewal.The prime minister asked help from the European People’s Party so that the energy union proposal of the European Commission, which would substantially increase the energy bills of the Hungarian families, should be withdrawn.Concerning the issue of migration, he stressed that Hungary is unable to accept the illegal migrants’ unchecked immigration and the Hungarian government is going to keep the border fence, which defends Hungary and Europe, under any circumstances.Bertalan HavasiManager for the Prime Minister’s Press Office
Hope this helps to clarify the situation. The global mainstream media is busy posting fake news like “Hungary’s Orbán accepts EU demands”….

/ 30/04/2017What about Orbán agreed to allow third world immigrants 14 – 18 years of age (after socalled DNA testing which is not a 100% accurate). It is treason to us Hungarians by importing them and in a few years time they are adults. Also by (EU) law minors are have the “right” of family reunification…..
What are your thoughts about this Leto

/ 30/04/2017I suspect that not allowing minors in is too difficult to defend from a legal point of view in the EU. I trust that Orbán will still find a solution to ensure Hungary’s safety.
” Consider unaccompanied minors as being children before being migrants
Allow the admission of parents or grandparents of unaccompanied minor refugees for the purpose of family reunification
Prior to deciding on the return of an unaccompanied minor, provide him/her with assistance by appropriate bodies other than the authorities enforcing return
Before removing an unaccompanied minor, ensure that s/he will be returned to a member of his/her family, a nominated guardian or adequate reception facilities in the country of return”
