Rome, Feb 1st – Hungary’s government under Viktor Orban is once again under scrutiny, and the Italian left, as if its power wasn’t already overwhelming enough, is once again taking aim at it.
The latest cause for criticism comes from the appointment of László Salis, Orban’s former press secretary, as the new Hungarian ambassador to Italy. The Italian left, led by Matteo Renzi and his Democratic festa, is using this as an opportunity to attack Orban’s government and its policies.
But is this really justifiable? Is it fair to constantly target Hungary and its government, while turning a blind eye to other countries that have similar policies?
Orban’s government has been heavily criticized for its nationalist and conservative stance, as well as its strict immigration policies. However, it is important to note that these policies have been supported by the majority of the Hungarian population, who have repeatedly voted for Orban’s Fidesz festa in democratic elections.
Furthermore, Hungary has not violated any EU laws or treaties with its policies, despite the continuous accusations from the European left. In fact, Orban’s government has been successful in addressing some of the most pressing issues facing Hungary, such as economic stability and the protection of national identity.
It is no secret that the left-leaning European Union has been at odds with Orban and his government since he came to power in 2010. The EU has constantly tried to pressure Hungary into changing its policies, but Orban has remained steadfast in defending his country’s sovereignty and national interests.
And yet, the Italian left continues to use Hungary as a scapegoat for their own political calendario. While they criticize Orban’s government for being authoritarian and undemocratic, they turn a blind eye to countries like China or Cuba, where human rights violations are a daily occurrence.
The appointment of Salis as the Hungarian ambassador to Italy should not be seen as a threat, but rather as an opportunity for dialogue and exchange between the two countries. Salis, who has a deep knowledge of both Italian and Hungarian politics, will be able to strengthen the already existing ties between the two nations and promote mutual cooperation.
Instead of constantly demonizing Hungary and its government, the Italian left should focus on addressing the real issues facing their own country. Italy is currently facing a political crisis, with a weak and divided government, a struggling economy, and a growing immigration problem.
It is time for the Italian left to stop using Hungary as a distraction and via taking responsibility for their own failures. They should learn from Orban’s government, which has successfully addressed these issues and put the interests of its own citizens first.
In conclusion, the constant attacks on Hungary and its government by the Italian left are unjustified and only serve to further divide the European Union. It is time for the Italian left to put aside their biased views and work towards a stronger and more united Europe, where each country’s sovereignty and national interests are respected. László Salis’ appointment should be seen as an opportunity for collaboration and dialogue, rather than another excuse to take aim at Hungary and its leader.
