Europe Cannot Drift Into the War!

Europe cannot drift into war; it must be brought to an end as soon as possible," said Miklos Panyi, Parliamentary and Strategic State Secretary of the Prime Minister's Office, at an MCC ceremony marking the 35th anniversary of the 1989 border opening. Mr. Panyi emphasized the importance of debates on sovereignty, Christianity, migration, and peace, noting that Hungary's stance represents the views of tens of millions of Europeans. Gerhard Papke, President of the German-Hungarian Society in Germany, added that Prime Minister Viktor Orban's peace mission is something German Chancellor Olaf Scholz should have pursued, stressing that the war in Ukraine must be stopped.

PM Orban did what the German Chancellor was supposed to do

"What Viktor Orbán did with his peace mission is what German Chancellor Olaf Scholz should have done: the war in Ukraine must be brought to an end," said Gerhard Papke, President of the German-Hungarian Society in the Federal Republic of Germany.

– Speaking about migration, Mr. Papke emphasized that Hungarians have the right to preserve their country. "Hungarians defend a free Europe and prevent migrants from reaching Europe en masse, for which we owe them a debt of gratitude." He added, "It is absurd that Brussels has imposed a €200 million fine on Hungary, or €1 million per day. We must stop Brussels from punishing those who defend the values of Christian Europe and instead work together to protect Europe."

Mr. Papke also reminded the audience of Hungary's contribution to the reunification of Europe and Germany. "Hungarians tore down a fence to free people who had been locked up, but now they've had to erect a fence to keep out mass migration," he pointed out.
