Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán assumes emergency powers, leads Central and Eastern Europe in Coronavirus Response

Hungary Today reports the Parliament passed legislation extending a state of emergency and granting the government special powers to take extraordinary measures to contain the spread of the Chinese Coronavirus Pandemic.

Among the measures, flouting quarantine regulations is punishable by up to three years in prison. Also, anyone who disseminates fake news or distorted real information in a way that obstructs the effectiveness of the response to the epidemic is a crime punishable by 1-5 years in prison.

All elections, by-elections and referendums are postponed; resuming within 15 days at the end of the state of emergency.  The emergency powers granted to Viktor Orbán end by a decision of parliament once the state of emergency has been declared over.  The new powers were met with Globalist outcry, bemoaning the “end of democracy in Hungary.”

Viktor Orbán declared “the era of liberal democracy is over” in Hungary, moving to preserve Hungarian culture.  Orbán stated that the “Hungarian people have long-standing traditions of resistance to “limited sovereignty.”  The Hungarian leader has repeatedly defied EU aspirations by declaring Hungary a Christian Country with no place for multiculturalism.  Orbán has publicly defied EU migrant and refugee designs to flood Central Europe and Eastern Europe with non-Hungarians hostile to Hungarian Culture.  Orbán is on record declaring that migrants threaten European Civilization and Culture.

The Orbán government has introduced seven family-friendly government programs encouraging Hungarians to have children in response to the European Union’s mass migration agenda.  One of the cultural programs includes Honvedsuli: cultural summer youth camps for boys and girls.

Hungary is leading a coordinated response to the Chinese Coronavirus pandemic in Central and Eastern Europe.  Orbán’s government provided 600,000 face masks and 30,000 protective suits to neighboring Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia, as well as to North Macedonia and the Bosnian Serb Republic.  “Cooperation between the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia has proved to be successful even in the current difficult period, with the Visegrad Group countries planning to intensify their joint efforts in the fight against the novel coronavirus,” Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó said.

At an election rally in 2018, Viktor Orbán declared”

“We are fighting an enemy that is different from us. Not open, but hiding; not straightforward but crafty; not honest but base; not national but international; does not believe in working but speculates with money; does not have its own homeland but feels it owns the whole world.”
