Video taken from Voice of Europe. - International correspondent Christiane Amanpour recently tried to grill Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto in an interview for CNN. Szijjarto, however, refused to budge and stood his ground. We have been a Christian country for a thousand years, and I do not understand why it would be bad to keep it like that The interview resembled a culture Marxist interrogation, where Szijjart had to explain to the uncomprehending Amanpour why Hungary doesn’t want to fill the country with immigrants from the third world.
He pointed out, among other things, that Hungary will remain a Christian country and not accept multiculturalism, and that it will never allow an “invasion” of illegal immigrants. Christiane Amanpour did not understand at all why a European country would pride itself on such an immigration policy. She pointed out that less than two percent in Hungary were born in another country, and called it “strange” that Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban expressly has said that he wants to “preserve the Christian Hungary”.
Peter Szijjarto replied that it is not strange at all, but “honest”. Amanpour stated that it was his personal point of view. “We have been a Christian country for a thousand years, and I do not understand why it would be bad to keep it like that. I do not understand why it’s bad to preserve ones culture, history, religion and heritage,” said Szijjarto. The Hungarian top politician said it must be up to each nation to decide on its own future. He stressed that Hungary had never judged other countries that chose multiculturalism over homogeneity. “Let each country decide for itself, and let us decide whether we want a multicultural or a homogeneous society. I understand that you disagree, and I respect that”, he said.
Amanpour then argued, possibly without understanding what she really said, that the Hungarian government is wrong, and that Hungary has no “immigration problem”. She pointed out that of Hungary’s 10 million inhabitants there are less than 4,000 refugees, that the country has no major crime and that no terrorist attacks have occurred. “Because we fought against it, otherwise we would have had these problems,” replied Szijjarto, pointing out that Hungary is following the Schengen Agreement by protecting its borders and only accepting people with valid ID documents.
