The Eurocrats fear this man as you may gather from the interviewer's somewhat hostile tone.
Is progress not moving away from the (Western) Nation and civilization?
This is the cause of the punches I take. There is a view that advocates secularization, alternative family patterns, and internationalism. My ideas go in the opposite direction and so I find that I argue with the critics about what is ‘forward’ and what is ‘backwards’.
Why is it not enough that the EU Charta endorses democracy which is a product of the Western tradition?
True in theory, but where is actual life! When Sarkozy appeared in France, without being French, I felt the pride in France’s glory. The same sensation overcame me when at a ballgame I saw a sea of German flags exhibiting their patriotism. That is a sentiment we need not fear today. I like it when the Poles say, ‘we are a strong country, and the EU’s directors have to consider us’. Here is a will, an energy, and thus a valid stand is made. I do not wish to contrast such shows of identity and the European idea. I would like it if the reaction would not be that this endangers European integration. Nations without character and a purpose will not make the community successful. Patriotism and integration do not clash.
Europe grew together because its nations have surrendered part of their sovereignty to react to the world wars and to globalization. Can nations that became independent in 1989 avoid participation?
Here in Germany my response will get me into hot water. The wars can be seen as wars between nations. The tragedy might be greater as they were a civil war of our civilization. The ruinous damage, the demographic and economic consequences are obvious. After WW2 Europeans lost control over their future to outsiders. The 20th century degenerated into a civil war within Christendom. God formed us in his image; therefore, we must not destroy each other. That is why Schuman thought that Europe would either be Christian or disappear.
The EU holds that the constitution passed by your majority violates the values of the Union. The Union objects to about 50 actions. Germany and France have a hundred disputed cases. Are they less European than we are?
Such matters are normal in the EU. Some claim that we violate the spirit of Europe even if our laws are legally in order. How am I to react? Hungary’s government has been elected, so has the EU Parliament. Who has elected the European Commission? To whom is the EU Parliament responsible? These are serious problems in Europe’s architecture.
Many Hungarians support the critics. What has happened in Hungary?
The Left collapsed in the elections. Therefore, the international Left tries to reinstate it. Internally this does not work, as the Socialists’ wreckage is overwhelming. Therefore, the job has to be done from abroad, by Europe and by America. Foreign-funded organizations wish to formulate leftist alternatives for Hungary. This is why we are attacked.
