BUDAPEST (Reuters) - The era of multiculturalism is over and Hungary should be spared its effects at all costs, the country's Prime Minister said on Wednesday.
In comments that appeared to toughen his already uncompromising stance on immigration, Viktor Orban was quoted as telling a Hungarian newspaper there should be no "mass-scale" mixing of different creeds.
"Multiculturalism means the coexistence of Islam, Asian religions and Christianity. We will do everything to spare Hungary from that," he said in an interview with daily Napi Gazdasag.
"We welcome non-Christian investors, artists, scientists, but we don't want to mix on a mass scale."
Orban, whose governing Fidesz party is losing ground in the polls to the far-right, anti-immigrant Jobbik party, has clashed with European counterparts over his isolationist views.
At the European Parliament in mid-May, he criticized as "bordering on insanity" EU proposals for migrant quotas drafted in response to thousands of deaths among asylum-seekers trying to reach Europe across the Mediterranean in increasing numbers.

Same issue here.immigration is no longer about opportunities. It's about poor ignorant people coming here to get entitlement $s. Guess where those $s come from? Your pocket!!
ReplyDeleteMulticulturalism is designed to break down a country.
ReplyDeleteIt's one thing, if this country were accepting doctors, scientists, real artists, and people with valuable skills. But they aren't.
ReplyDeleteI's about impossible to immigrate from Europe, Australia, South Africa or Britain, for example, to the USA. Whites, no matter how oppressed, are not welcome. Just unskilled people who don't wish to become "American", and are only here for the freebies and welfare.
