Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban “has welcomed the creation of
an anti-immigration “axis” in Europe” that would “team up with countries
like Italy and Poland to change the bloc’s direction.”The focus of the “anti-immigrant” drive is opposition to mass Muslim migration.
Orban stated that “he believed there would be ‘two civilizations’ in the EU: ‘one mixed Muslim-Christian in the west and one traditional, in central Europe.’”
Italian interior minister Matteo Salvini is also calling for a “Rome-Warsaw axis to build ‘a new Europe’ that was against migration.”
During his election campaign last year, Salvini stated that “Islam is incompatible with the constitution,” and in response to Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz closing down seven mosques last summer, “Salvini hailed the decision and called for a meeting to discuss common strategies.”
The UN Migration Pact, intended to legitimize economic migrants across the board, is instead consolidating resistance to the EU’s plans for mass migration.
“Far-right European governments launch plan to take over EU with anti-immigration ‘axis,’” by Jon Stone, Independent, January 10, 2019:
Hungary’s prime minister has welcomed the creation of an anti-immigration “axis” in Europe that could see like-minded far-right EU leaders join forces to run the union.
Viktor Orban said he wanted to see an anti-immigration majority in the EU institutions and that he would team up with countries like Italy and Poland to change the bloc’s direction.
The far-right leader said there could be no “compromise” on the migration issue and that he would have to “fight” leaders such as Emmanuel Macron to “respect Hungarians’ decision not to become an immigrant nation”.
“I wish for Europe to have a political force that is to the right of the European People’s Party [the transnational centre-right party that dominates the European Commission], a Rome-Warsaw axis that is capable of governing, capable of taking responsibility and opposed to immigration,” he said in a speech on Thursday.
Mr Orban also said he believed there would be “two civilizations” in the EU: “one mixed Muslim-Christian in the west and one traditional, in central Europe”.
Matteo Salvini, the far-right interior minister in the Italian government, earlier today called for a Rome-Warsaw axis to build “a new Europe” that was against migration.
“I’d like to create a pact, an alliance for everyone who wants to save Europe, the more of us, the better,” Mr Salvini had said.
Poland’s right-wing populist prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki said earlier this week that “with Mr Salvini we are on the same page with regards to many European matters”. He cited alleged “discrimination” against Poland by Brussels.
Austria’s right-wing chancellor Sebastian Kurz last year called for an anti-immigration “axis” using the same language….
