"At the heart of the conflicts between the European Union and Hungary" is that "the European Union rejects [its] Christian heritage." The EU is "managing population replacement through migration, and it is waging an LGBTQ offensive against family-friendly European nations." -Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán

[LifeSiteNews.com] The European Union has become an "unaccountable empire" that is waging war on pro-family, Christian European nations in the name of LGBT ideology, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán argued this past weekend. (Screengrab image)

Orbán was speaking in Băile Tușnad, Romania at the annual Tusványos Summer University conference on July 22. The region is home to a high percentage of ethnic Hungarians. Orbán has appeared at the gathering since at least 2014.

The forward-thinking speech focused on both domestic and foreign affairs. As previously reported by LifeSite, Orbán called on the US to view China as a global power in the emerging multi-polar world order, and to not escalate already-existing tensions. "Opposing sides should recognize each other as equals," he said.

In Orbán's remarks on Saturday, he also observed that Europe has lost the Christian faith. He pointed out that "Western values" today are rooted in "migration, LGBTQ, and war."

"At the heart of the conflicts between the European Union and Hungary" is that "the European Union rejects [its] Christian heritage." The EU is "managing population replacement through migration, and it is waging an LGBTQ offensive against family-friendly European nations."

"Europe today has created its own political class," he added, "which is no longer accountable and no longer has any Christian or democratic convictions."

Since being elected in 2010, Orbán has turned his historically Catholic country into a bulwark against globalism and multiculturalism, infuriating open borders politicians. Many so-called national conservatives, or "post liberals" like scholar Gladden Pappin, have taken up residence in Hungary in recent years.

Orbán noted the dichotomy between Hungary and its secular, liberal neighbors by recalling that its Constitution is rooted in its Christian heritage, whereas others are founded on the notion of the solitary individual.

"The Hungarian Constitution's essence, its founding premise, is that there is a place that is ours: our home," he said. "There is a community that is ours: this is our nation"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
