Viktor Orban

Xenophobia is dangerous, but patriotism is a good thing.

We must first and foremost defend Hungary's independence and sovereignty, and, if needed, we must regain it.

It would be a sad story to get rid of religious belief, national identity, family, and even sexual identity. That's not freedom.

It is our historical experience, that Hungary can only live in wealth and safety if Berlin, Moscow, and Ankara are on our side and also interested in our success - even if we do not always agree on certain questions.

Concerning Poland, I can only say that the peoples of Central Europe and Hungary are a community in fate, to the death. Many of us would spill our blood for Poland any time. And vice versa: in an emergency, many Polish people would give his life to protect Hungarians. This has happened more than once over the course of history.

The death penalty question should be put on the agenda in Hungary.
