Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán delivered one of the most powerful speeches of his life recently, and the Leftist Regime Media lost its collective mind. Speaking at a Romanian event, Orbán stressed the importance of race to his version of nationalism, and declared that Hungary must resist becoming a “mixed-race” country. This was no declaration that Hungary is just defined by “ideas” or “culture.” Orbán believes that Hungarians define Hungary, and vows to protect his people from the ravages of globalism. This situation puts his Respectable Right U.S. fans in an awkward position. They want Orbán to be a friendly civic nationalist who simply wants to boost Hungarian birthrates in a non-racist way. But his powerful speech reminds us that nationalism must address race.
Counter-Currents website performed a great service by translating and posting the 9,000-word speech in full, and it’s well worth the read [The West Has Moved to Central Europe, by Viktor Orbán, July 27, 2022].
Orbán warned his audience about the many dangers posed to Western Civilization: the shrinking number of Europeans, the rise in non-European births, and mass migration, which he called “population replacement.” He endorsed Jean Raspail’s Camp of the Saints for showing “the spiritual developments underlying the West’s inability to defend itself.” Immigration has split the West, Orban says:
One half is a world where European and non-European peoples live together. These countries are no longer nations; they are nothing more than a conglomeration of peoples. I could also say that it is no longer the Western world, but the post-Western world. And around 2050, the laws of mathematics will lead to the final demographic shift: cities in this part of the continent—or that part—will see the proportion of residents of non-European origin rising to over 50% of the total.
