Jobbik about the EU.S.S.R - Czech pact

Hungarians in Central Europe

On October 29, 2009, the leaders of the European Union and the Czech Republic reached an agreement, which allowed the Czechs to sign the Lisbon Treaty. They agreed to allow the shameful, racist and discriminatory Benes Decrees, which were instituted after World War II and which violate human rights, branding the Hungarian and German minorities collectively as war criminals, to remain in effect.

In this act against the Hungarian minority, Jobbik sees the proof that – in spite of the false promises of the powerful national and international elite – with membership in the European Union, the daily lives of the Hungarian minority in the Successor States have not improved, rather, the opposite is true, their situation since that time has worsened.  It is enough to mention as one example the Slovakian language law that was put into effect on September 1.

Jobbik forcefully denounces a European Union that, in the interest of creating a supranational European State, is capable of trampling on basic human rights, one after the other, thus supporting the continuation of an unlawful system, built on discrimination between peoples; a European Union that considers that it does not have the authority to intervene when the national majority of a member state prohibits the members of an autochthonous national minority from using their mother-tongue and even imposes heavy fines for doing so; a European Union that considers itself authorized to intervene in the interior politics of a number of distant states in the world, even imposing punitive measures on those governments that have committed alleged abuses of human rights.

In addition, Jobbik forcefully denounces both the members of the political elite and the one that calls itself the Opposition, who, as a sign of uncritical loyalty to the international background power, rushed to the table, stepping on each other’s heels, to be the first state in Europe to sign the untranslated Lisbon Treaty, without reading it, thus de facto depriving the 1100 year-old Hungarian State of its independence and sovereignty. 

The Movement for a Better Hungary (Jobbik Magyarországért Mozgalom) must take advantage of this opportunity to call to the attention of the international community the fact that: Slovakia has been in violation of the law since it diverted the waters of the Danube at Dunacsúny between October 22 and October 25, 1992, causing not only serious but in many cases irreversible environmental damage.  This diversion altered the main navigable channel of the Danube, which, according to the Peace Dictate of Trianon, was the final, unalterable border between the two states.  Since the diversion, the navigable channel at Bos has become the actual border.  Thus, Slovakia has violated both the Trianon and the Paris Peace Dictates and, based on these facts, Hungary has every right to declare these Dictates invalid.

In connection with these unjust dictates, I would like to note that the British Prime-Minister, Lloyd-George,  already at the time of the negotiations in Versailles, stated that there would never be peace in Southern Europe if, in the small states presently coming into existence, there were a large Hungarian minority. 

Recognizing this, all the Successor States have undertaken brutal endeavors to try to effect the final elimination of the Hungarians, an effort which is progressing rapidly. Just in the last 20 years, the Hungarian population in the Carpathian Basin has decreased by about two million.

A peaceful resolution to the dramatic situation of the Hungarian minority is essential for the peaceful development of the entire territory of Europe and it cannot be postponed.
