Surrendering Hungarian Sovereignty Is Treason

It is crucial to uncover which organizations and media outlets are trying to influence Hungarian domestic politics, Miklos Szantho, director general of the Center for Fundamental Rights, told Magyar Nemzet in an interview. He believes it is imperative for Hungarians to know who controls foreign-funded media, where their funding comes from and whose interests they serve.

Surrendering Even a Little Sovereignty Is Treason

Szantho also addressed Peter Magyar’s controversial statement that “there’s nothing wrong with giving up a little sovereignty". “That’s how it always starts,” the think tank director warned, comparing the politician's approach to past historic experience. The Hungarian Soviet Republic in 1919 came with social democrats initially flirting "just a little" with the communists. Later Hungary's fascists (Arrow Cross Party) initially wanted to implement only a fraction of Nazi Germany’s policies. And similarly, during the coalition period following World War II, gradual total submission to the Soviets began under the guise of a “people’s front policy". 

The same mentality, Szantho posits, exists today among Western European liberal elites,who talk about “increasing unity among the peoples of Europe". The end result of these projects has always been that an empire tried to absorb Hungary. But our nation’s 1,100-year history has been a continuous fight against imperial domination.

Those who advocate that we gradually give up a little more sovereignty are traitors.

Szantho concluded by comparing them to Gereb, the traitor from The Paul Street Boys (a famous Hungarian novel). However, he argued that the globalists’ are even worse: “Gereb only betrayed his childhood friends. The globalists are betraying their entire nation.”
