Re: Tracking Viktor Orban

Orban is no hero, however his government finally added our Anabaptist church to the list of protected churches in Hungary. This is a very small list but after two centuries of persecution for refusing to bear arms, you might forgive the average Nazarene for thinking fondly of him.

Re: Tracking Viktor Orban

Orban’s stance on illegal migration is not so dissimilar to Australia’s. As he said in the most recent speech, if they want to come into Hungary, use the correct legal channels ie. an embassy before entering to be processed. Australia says the same and anyone illegally crossing are then sent to a pr...

Re: Tracking Viktor Orban

Here’s the English transcript. From a Christian perspective he has some very valid points that were unfortunately over shadowed by the following quote ; In such a multi-ethnic context, there is an ideological feint here that is worth talking about and focusing on.
