Hungary PM Viktor Orban's adviser resigns over 'pure Nazi' speech - BBC News

A close ally of the Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orban, has resigned, comparing his recent comments on race to those of the Nazi era.

Zsuzsa Hegedus, who has known the nationalist Mr. Orban for 20 years, described the speech as a "pure Nazi text", according to Hungarian media.

The International Auschwitz Committee of Holocaust survivors called the speech "stupid and dangerous."

Mr Orban said European peoples should be free to mix with one another, but that mixing with non-Europeans created a "mixed-race world".

The Hungarian prime minister, known for his anti-migration views, spoke out against becoming "peoples of mixed race".

Mr. Orban's spokesman said the media had misrepresented the comments.

I doubt that being "pure nazi" will hurt Orban in Hungary. Ironically, it would be the kiss of death in Germany.

"I'm not a racist. I just have racist beliefs and say racist things."

As a Student of both History and
Anthropology, i had to Laugh when
Orban called Hungarians Pure. 😂

[kevingirard]

What if Israeli people mixed ? Oh yes, it's true, miscegenation is only for others

[jakem]

It’s so odd that some people speak of pure blood when European and proto European history is quite mixed over tens of thousands of years. So there is no pure anything.

[janosb]

He is 100% right not to be agree on Hungary's "no mixing the world populations" whit forced migrations!!!

[michaelmoores]

Hungary wants its country to remain ethnically stable. Good for Hungary.

[HelloKitty-kbji]

He only said aloud what most of us think..

[heiltd]

It's a pity that we don't have politicians of Orban's moral and intellectual stature in the UK and Western Europe. Orban is a true patriot.

[sogerc]

I had to rewind because at first I've heard Orban has resigned. That would be the day...

[whitekuk]

It's absolutely true. Western nations and most of Europe no longer speaks for the benefit of the European people and certainly not European men.

[woff]

Did the BBC also cover the fact that she 'unresigned' within days?

[amc]

Hungary is on the wrong side of history again

[gabeeaglesland]

Don’t let the door hit you in the butt on the way out Hegedus. Orban is not a racist and this woman is falling into the woke lib crap. I’m a 1st generation Hungarian so don’t come at me to tell me I’m wrong. My entire family of relatives are living in Magyarorszag and they are happy with Orban as are the majority of Hungarian’s.

[vjab]

I am more worried about Klaus Schwan than Viktor Orban.

[Andrew-obij]

Wow finally some of orbans own party are finding him to crazy

[mrsigmagrinder]

someone might want to tell him where Hungarians came from

[leeblack]

Its who trys to tell you who you can love, wants control over you and will be the person whom will take your freedom away.

[pm]

It's a little rich that a Hungarian PM is talking about non-europeans coming into Europe and "mixing" with the original inhabitants.

[DeepMeditationMusic]

It is so sad that the international community has not condemned such a dark statement given that the second world war started with this kind of rethoric. Much respect and love to the lady advisor who resigned.
