Orbán: ‘Only dead fish swim with the flow’

By UMEOrba

In an interview on Thursday June 17th by the Croatian weekly Glas Koncila was published, the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán spoke about the different views between Brussels and Central Europe: “If we were in the Middle Ages and had to write a slogan on a flag that would describe my work and my philosophy, I would write: ‘Nur tote Fish go with the flow ‘[…] Of course, those who swim against the current cause a lot of problems. 

We pay a heavy price for it. Hungary pays a heavy price for not signing the Istanbul Convention and then rejecting any Cold War policy; we pay a heavy price for not beating up the Russian president with Westerners every day, but for showing him the respect he deserves as president; We pay a heavy price for protecting the Christian model of the family so that LGBT madness has no place here; we pay a high price for our position on immigration and we pay a high price for not accepting the Brussels bureaucracy, but above all as a counterbalance to the development of Central European cooperation.

So we really pay a high price. But if we didn’t pay that price and didn’t defend our interests, we could live more comfortably, but we’d end up losing a lot more. Better to fight. I think our common national hero Miklós Zrínyi [Croatian: Nikola Zrinsky], the victor over the Turks, would agree. so that the LGBT madness has no place here; we pay a high price for our position on immigration and we pay a high price for not accepting the Brussels bureaucracy, but above all as a counterbalance to the development of Central European cooperation. So we really pay a high price. But if we didn’t pay that price and didn’t defend our interests, we could live more comfortably, but we’d end up losing a lot more.
