Hungary’s Top Diplomat Tells Christiane Amanpour: We’ve Been a Christian Country for a Millennium… Let Us Reject Multiculturalism

Minister Szijjarto: We absolutely support the right of a country to determine who they want to let in and what kind of a country they would like to be… Migrants disrespect your borders. They violate your laws. They attack your police. They cause injuries to your police. 

Amanpour: Your prime minister, Prime Minister Orban has repeatedly said that his main aim is to preserve “Christian Hungary.” And you said we don’t accept that multi-culturalism is a value by itself. Less than 2% of Hungarians were born outside the country. It’s weird, that kind of language. It’s very out of step… 

Szijjarto: No, it’s honest… We’ve been a Christian country for a millennium. And I really don’t understand why it’s bad news that we don’t want to change that. And I don’t understand why it is bad or unacceptable as to why we want to stick to our history.
