Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that his country’s citizens have no interest in fraternizing with non-Europeans, according to Radio Free Europe.
Orban idealized an unmixed Hungarian race while speaking at Baile Tusnad Summer University located in central Romania on Saturday.
He argued that Europeans should not mix with “non-Europeans”.
“We move, we work elsewhere, we mix within Europe”, he said. “But we don’t want to be a mixed race or a ‘multiethnic’ group”, he added.
The conservative Prime Minister also argued that “the west is split in two,” according to Daily News Hungary.
Half, he said, are countries where European and non-European people intermingle. “Those countries are no longer nations”, he said. He did not name any specific nations but pointed to Western Europe.
He also said that the countries where Europeans and non-Europeans intermingle “continue to fight central Europe to change us to be like them”.
“In a spiritual sense, the West has moved to central Europe”, he added.
Throughout his speech on Saturday, Orban also touched on Russia’s war against Ukraine and the role he believes the US should have.
“A new strategy is needed which should focus peace talks and drafting a good peace proposal… instead of winning the war”, he said, adding: “As Russia wants security guarantees, this war can be ended only with peace talks between Russia and America”.
