Hungarian leader’s aide who quit over ‘race mixing’ remarks said his words have a chilling potential
Orbán thrives on controversy, and his anti-migration stance, as well ason LGBT rights, have made him a darling of the international right. In the coming days he is due to travel to Dallas, Texas, and give the opening speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference , an influential assembly of American rightwingers.the “great replacement”
The Hungarian Academy of Sciences condemned the comments, calling them “scientifically untenable” and “a dangerous ideology”, while Hungary’s chief rabbi, Róbert Frölich, also criticised the speech. The US envoy to combat antisemitism, Deborah Lipstadt, criticised Orbán’s “use of rhetoric that clearly evokes Nazi racial ideology”., the Holocaust memorial centre in Jerusalem, also drew parallels with the Nazi past. “The statement made by the prime minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, is all too reminiscent of ideologies associated with the horrible atrocities of the Holocaust. The Holocaust teaches us that we must address such expressions swiftly and directly,” said Dayan.
“Sometimes I can be ambiguous. We are talking about a civilisational position. We are proud of what Hungary has achieved in the fight against racism,” he added. “Orbán is seen as anti-Europe, anti-immigration, anti-elite and anti-woke, which appeals to Republicans and conservatives,” said Tim Miller, the former political director of Republican Voters Against Trump.
