and political decisions he's there room in the union for several political divisions in the party should figure out a way to balance national and continental interests or does the e.u. risk being torn apart by the east west confrontation with their staff so it's really good to have you again on our program welcome back its way on the set out a map here there are tensions between hungary and ukraine over the rights of the ethnic and variance in the west and you have said that ukraine stepped hungary in a back what is your reaction going to be hungary is reaction. well you know hungary was maybe the loudest supporter within the european union to the ukrainians to get the visa free regime and to make the grayness. agreement come into force and unfortunately a couple of days after that there was a regulation passed in the ukrainian parliament which always the rights of the younger ians obviously when it comes to education on the mother tongue so so we
9:31 pm
made it very clear that we have to use all kinds of instruments in the toolbox of international politics in order to make sure that the rights of the younger ians rule be restored in ukraine so he had signed a memorandum to nato suggesting that hungarian shouldn't abide by ukrainian lol why nato and do you think it's going to back up your memorandum well you know of your part of the alliance so it's obvious that we form our allies our policy towards a country which has the inspiration to go forward when it comes to the. integration path and the view will be very happy to come back to our position to support ukrainians on this path but definitely do create new ones have to comply with the international regulations when it comes to mind there it is event.
9:32 pm
commission made a very clear proposal to the ukrainians to consult with the national minorities and to do more to implement any kind of regulations we could basically a while leaves the already existing rights of the mind the reviews so all we want is nothing special nothing extraordinary just to cream to comply with the e.u. regulations and we have the proposal of the venice commission to your member into nato it was just to inform their the allies for other than expect a reaction from the world there is a continuous negotiation going on of course with nato member states with allies within the european union about how we see these situation we made the proposal there that. those mind there it is belonging to will nato member states should be exempt from such kind of regulations we will see whether those are the reaction from our allies and then we will continue the dialogue and the discussion will sue
9:33 pm
members of the european parliamentary accusing hungary of human rights violations saying that your prime minister is actually smearing critics journalist and you as you have said those are lies why do they have such a harsh stance on your prime minister you know. we had a very and we still have a very serious debate the international network which is led and financed by george soros in the name you might know and the or watchers might know as well we have a very open and a very serious debate with him as the hungary and government has a very strong and. they made it very clear that it is only osce hungary and who can make a decision. to come to hungary it is only us hungary areas to make a. decision to be told we will not live together we don't want. neither the
9:34 pm
european union already united nations to force us to to you why it's people in our country whom we do not want to invite we made it very clear that protection of our border and guaranteeing the security of our citizens is the number one priority for us and george soros and his network is totally against this. concept against this strategy he would like to in the wide millions of migrants to europe on an annual basis he basically want to get rid of the phenomenon of of nation states so this is a very open very open conflict and confrontation between us and we have to see that that the us not for a does definitely have people or members of the european parliament and these
9:35 pm
kind of attacks against my country against our government against our prime minister are based on this political approach you know these kind of reports which are being written about my country these are absolutely take facts out of your grocery list so they grant the absolute i mean you just just let me give you two examples all these accusations say that there is no freedom of media freedom of press in hungary but if you look at the internet for example you look at the web pages you will see that the anti government rhetoric and the critics on the government is in the vase majority compared to those news which are favoring the government or which are considering government decision as positive so and you know in hungary it would be totally impossible to hide facts like them iran's at the. same. designs of our country in some best of european countries it did happen or
9:36 pm
when it comes to when it comes to anti-semitism it's a constant taker's ation against us although we are proud that we have absolutely implemented zero tolerance against. semitism there's the biggest sense there's the biggest jewish community of central europe living in budapest we do not only renovate the synagogues really in hungary but around hungary as well and you know it's not budapest there are jewish youngsters very good keeper are attacked on the open streets in those areas everywhere yes and owners and compared to there to be are always on the regulations are also accusing your government of stepping and independence of the judiciary and they're actually threatening to invoke the e.u. law i think it's article seven they were actually stripped hungary of the e.u. . yeah well i could come to that well actually there are definitely some
9:37 pm
endeavors to put very heavy attacks on hungary and on poland as well so procedure based on article seven you referred to was kind of launched in the relationship for poland we opposed that because they think it's absolutely based on double standards and when you when you put facts into consideration there is no factual ground there is no factual basis to launch such kind of a procedure against hungary because for example in terms of judiciary you were kind enough to refer to yes we did have debates with the european commission about legislation in hungary regarding the judiciary system but the fact is that we have already closed all these issues in three different ways either we understood the commission was right and then changed to the regulation either the commission admitted that we were right and then we left it as it was or we couldn't agree and then we went to the european. and they respected the regulation of the decision of
9:38 pm
the european court so these are all closed issues so so all these issues which are being put in the report about hungary just very recently in the committee of. the justice of the european parliament these are mostly already closed issues between the the european commission and the so. in general brad wrestles have lots of demands when it comes to hungary and there you know actually saying that if hungary doesn't meet those demands whether it's judiciary or frame or pratt or immigration they're actually saying that well may not find you in the next year budget so here's i think it's only that whatever you give the only makes up six percent of your budget first of all is it worth it is is that money worth doing everything they want you to do because i know that mr a bank has said you know we don't have to live off german money anyways well you know hunger is interest is european
9:39 pm
union to be strong because we. a strong conquering needs a strong european union because we have a very open economy and seventy nine percent of our exports goes to the european union we have an export over g.d.p. ratio around ninety percent so you can imagine how significant for us it is the european union to be stronger and european union to have a competitive economy on the other hand when it comes to europe in the funds yes your funds play an important role in our economy but this is no one on the road because we don't get these funds as as gift or as a humanitarian aid or as a donation from our best or new opium friends these funds are to be given to us based on contracts based on concerts in the wife because the hunger and economy has been opened the hungary a market has been opened for best and european companies making a lot of profit on the hungary and. market this is one lane of the road and the
9:40 pm
other lane of the road is the european funding so so this is this is not a not the one way road you understand this is a wise version situation so we we totally reject that false context so we painted up on the wall as if we would only joy european funds for free this is and this is not true we have we have complied with our obligations based on the contract as well and according to the statistics of the of the european institutions seventy cents of every one the euro which is paid to the censor european countries go back to western european companies mr we're going to take a short break right now when we come back we'll continue talking to peter sierra talking about the future of hunger a within the european union and the future of the union in general stay with us.
9:41 pm
the be glued. to. your. mom. for sure. misha long as. you have no one on my arm or all.
9:42 pm
the think you see a good seat by a good decent. and it is in this is the only. church secret indeed catholic priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the geographic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not known the highest ranks of the catholic church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that end it has known as the eye and then i think you let it use this out and. its path.
9:43 pm
you never know what's around the corner you never know what's in the pub even the. excitement it's not knowing that's where the adrenalin rush comes from. and you need to move along to the machine and the extremes will. the violence is a part. of schizophrenia. where you can do all these things and behave like. they're born before the horse call us a little while before they pull schools more social skills are going to last. from this man and through. role follows from the start. of a broader way in the fight for young really did a poll not going to get. the meaning in these images that least if you don't
9:44 pm
involve these constantly evolving. and i'm back with a hundred garrion foreign minister peter. so there's also the opposition of hungary and poland and the east versus west because hungary and call are now making sure whatever they have to say is heard at this point i don't think russell's likes it what do you think this is versus west opposition in the you could come to a what would it mean for the uni well you know we are absolutely interested in the unity of the european union so we oppose all kind of comparison on the life you
9:45 pm
were like restroom and these three members will be of the european union because european union must show unity. if you put into consideration why poland and why hungary are on their deuce constant torture let's put it this way well it's obvious we have the two strongest governments in the european union and the two countries there are a one party government has received. from the people to govern the country we have politically absolutely stable systems and you know many times it's not life by the to two it's in brussels definitely on the other hand you know there is a big debate in the european union but there are two to go through governors to reform the realistic way the federalist stick way would end up in the united states of europe which we oppose because our fiscal control. unified budget more integration that's what france and germany what you have i think it's a it's
9:46 pm
a viable growth. our position is that european union can only be strong if there are strong member states so we don't think that the concept of weak member states creating a strong european union will be realistic they think that only strong member states . can form a strong european union and that's why for example we are absolutely in favor of the competition between the european union meaning that we don't like the tax harmonize ation for example and we don't want the irresponsible economy. to be communities you know what i mean is that those countries can reduce taxes who are disciplined fiscally speaking and those countries who are who are not disciplined fiscally who let their you know to increase they definitely cannot afford cutting taxes but then the answer should be you know to bash those ones who are able to god that are your prime minister sees the european union as an alliance of separate
9:47 pm
states. european union is a uni and that crosses state boundaries and that's like. core principle of european union and european union is based on principles of liberalism your country is and nation based conservative country which is not a good thing or a bad thing russia is the same way so. on the ideological level there are like just so many differences in the basics it's not about economics they why do you want to be part of the union so much that opposes everything that you guys stand for well actually. it's not everything is opposed if i think you know if you know if you look at the statistics for example how many infringement procedures are going on against us and others you will see that we are some they are in the middle so there is nothing extraordinary in this regard yeah we have definitely debate based on ideology as well for example you know when it comes to the fact that when an
9:48 pm
election is not won by the liberals then the system is immediately goes to do or does not a democracy which is totally unacceptable if the liberals do what we need to be a democracy of course so that's why what we what we are trying to build in hungary or what we are intending to build in hungary is a christian democracy you know based on christian values zurich achievement married the based. society there are there are debates about that as well but all in all our interest is a stronger open union because we did a strong european union hungary can be strong ok so there's the e.u. commissioner who actually voiced her opinion about hungary and the czech republic and poland voicing their concerns and their views and she said you know those are sandbags those three countries that could be thrown away could it come to that hungary czech republic slovakia and poland the. countries are members of the european union and the view of the members of the european union
9:49 pm
even more than the this so. sure europe in the region is currently the growth of the european union our growth rate is much higher than the average everybody speaks about the german french cooperation when it comes to the issue of european competitiveness and bob if you look at the to see that the trade between germany and the contras is fifty five percent higher than the trade annually between germany and france which shows that the economy cooperation between germany and europe is extremely strong at cern show you a became kind of a backyard for the german industry which has always been and which will always be i guess the bone of the european economy so actually the strong central euro is the interest of the european union because
9:50 pm
a strong central euro can contribute to european union being stronger as well that's why we we reject all kinds of these kinds of accusations you know against us on political basis that's the bottom line is crisis right now and so there is the eastern countries that want more independence in terms of making decisions there is the center brussels france and germany who want tighter integration and maybe a two speed to europe it is absolutely clear that you cannot go on living in a shape that it's in right now something needs to change we don't really know what where do you see hungary in this union like do you feel like you'll be one of those like faster integrating countries or do you feel like you would want to be in the second part or the countries will have like. more decisions to themselves but you know they won't be as integrated as france and germany well if you mean that
9:51 pm
european union is faced with historic challenges you are right and the only one. we have. the migration crisis we have the threat of terror we have that we have the end there just security issues and many others we with which we have to deal so that's why i think it's obvious that there are debates going on about the future of the european union because when should the debates go on if not now when we have to find answers for the historic type of challenges and our approach is definitely a supernews to broach meaning that those answers which have already been given successfully for to these kind of questions are have been the made on the level of member states for instance they the migration issue you no longer is answer was the only successful by regaining the control over our own border with the assistance of the. countries and making it obvious and making it clear
9:52 pm
that yes it's absolutely possible to protect your border and do not let and the illegal migrants and from that i am sorry about that minister because you were so adamant about you know being tough on migration building walls cracking down on n.g.o.s and then secretly you've accepted one thousand two hundred or three hundred and that's like a quota is that that you ask you to accept anyway so what's the point of being so tough when if you're going to secretly accept those you know this is going to these are two totally different things because. as seekers based on the geneva. convention should not be confused with the illegal migrants entering the territorial wars in awhile into a you know taking our police down the fans not to respecting the rules and regulations blocking go our highways okupe buying our public areas not wanting to go to the to the refugee stations and so on and so forth so these two things should
9:53 pm
not be confused because these are two totally different issues. so the mood in the european union in general is changing like austria has a first chancellor you see germany i mean the far right alternative for germany party is the third biggest party in the stag. and then mccall is like very liberal on words but when it comes to implementing. policies it's pretty much center right as well so do you feel like saying i we've told you so we've been reprimanded so much for this and then all of you guys are coming to what we're saying you know politics is another profession very you get the credit if it turns out that you were right but it is obvious that on the last couple national parliamentary elections within the european union the main issue was migration that was the case in italy that was the case in austria you put it forward right that was the case in hungary and you know free countries those parties receive the most votes who are
9:54 pm
around the anti migration cornices. the austrian the chancellor was definitely representing an anti migration policy in italy the party is forming the coalition are and by migration parties in hungary we made it very clear that we are not the low and the illegal migrants and touring the thirty three of our country you see the latest positions and statements of the of the german minister of interior and you rightly. some new measures implemented by friends you see the. statements of the british about the main motivations of all the bracks exposed which is definitely in correlation with the issues of migration and so on and so forth so so definitely migration is becoming a top issue the hot issue the hottest issue on the current european agent and yes we see that more and more people even more and more political leaders understand
9:55 pm
that. you know these migratory influx is a into europe definitely does not serve. the target of a better future in the european union so how come so many countries in the you are anti immigrant are really pushing through their ideas and measures about that. and just as many countries are anti rational sanctions that when it comes to extending them soundly all agree to extend them like a b s were among russian sanctions well if you ask me whether there are double standards i would say yes you know we understand that you know we are a small country. and we understand that the big western european countries make big business this year if you come to the st petersburg or the national economic forum and you look around and you look for companies coming from e.u. member states you are definitely see much more companies coming from the western
9:56 pm
european big e.u. member states the licensor european countries if you see the top event of of this forum will be the panel which will be shared by the french and the russian president if you look at the preparation of motion or do you see the biggest western european and the g companies being involved if you if you look at the you look at how the trade figures. are changing between the russia and the western european countries one might be surprised so if you ask me whether there are double standards yes they definitely are there is a big debate in the european union about whether these sanctions verse obsessed fool or not but definitely the unity of the european union is is very important so the decision of all the really it's at the expense of their actions. so that's why the prolongation of the of the sanctions have always been decided upon but it's
9:57 pm
interesting to come to see here the big. western european companies making business with their russian yeah that i would like to call. you know we're open to anyone who wants to come and make with us thank you very much with us and. with everything i do appreciate both of us with. italy's recent elections again demonstrate the e.u. smeal liberal agenda is under continued pressure even under threat where is this grand historic project going we understand the italian elections the german elections and drags it in.
9:58 pm
well you know the cars they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. of being there in the small boats next to the harpoon ships and you. know you might not get. the little films to be told fish already ninety percent of the dot and it won't recover. cons of fifteen scoops seventy five tons try to do it several times a day because we know you get an idea for an ocean. we have to understand we can know space to just. be within this be used for you. i'm doing this because i want the future world
9:59 pm
to future generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have. who'll be the next to get the treatment that greece got from the troika the i.m.f. the e.c.b. the e.u. they gang up they destroy a country for profit it's a it's a smash and grab and greece was destroyed they had a referendum and then they didn't pay any attention to the referendum they didn't want the troika road and look what happened in greece it turned it into a pit it turned into a shell it turned into garbage and now the same bankers are getting together because they need a like a shark always something to destroy to eat consume so we were trying to figure out would italy be next for spain i think where the two likely candidate so i guess as we've been saying that for five years that this was coming and i guess down italy will be the next meal for the i.m.f.
10:00 pm
