Commenting on a hearing by the European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) in Brussels, Orban said that Hungary has cleared up all debated issues regarding democracy before 2013 with the European Union. Hungary has "no debate on democracy", while the European Parliament (EP) uses it as an excuse to attack the country, he said.
The EP is the "politically most motivated" part of the "Brussels machinery", Orban said. If something happening in Hungary harms the interests of great powers, companies or people, the EP will be the first "to leap to attack our country", he added.
Commenting on the three infringement procedures being turned over to the Court of Justice of the European Union, Orban said that these are issues to be taken seriously, and Hungary should present its arguments convincingly. He insisted that the issues "of the university (CEU), the pseudo-NGOs and the quota scheme" all lead to US financier George Soros, "whose problems in turn lead to the issue of immigration". The CEU is Soros's university, he funds and directs the NGOs, and migration is part of his plan, he said.
Orban showed a document in the interview, saying it was Soros's six-point plan under which Europe should be turned into a mixed culture. The Hungarian government fights against "a very real plan", he said.
There is an ever growing gap between what western European people think of immigration and their leaders' actions, Orban said. This gap "could only grow up to a certain point" and then the people will "sack their leaders", he warned. "In the end, the majority will follow our views", he added.
Hungary should learn from the errors of the West, Orban said. Mixing cultures will not lead to a higher quality of life but to a lower one. This should be forestalled while there is still time, he said.
Many of those purporting migration "believe truly" that mixing cultures is the path to the development of mankind. This might be inspirational, "but it is against common sense", he said. Accepting people from very remote cultures among us does not lead to a beautiful life, but to parallel societies. We would import hatred, anti-Semitism, the end of the equality of women and of freedom of religion, he said.

Comment: Everything Orban says here is actually true. That sad thing is that it doesn't need to be. Immigration itself does not lead to a lower quality of life. Merit-based immigration - where skilled foreigners integrate into their destination culture and bring their talent with them - should naturally make the destination country's quality of life better. Competence does that. But the issue here is the reason for the refugees coming and how many. Their home countries are a mess - because of bad government, Western-supported dictators, and American-led "interventions" that only make things worse. That leads to both asylum seekers and economic migrants who think they can just game the social welfare system of a first-world country. Too many of these migrants have no interest in integrating. And they're just proving the anti-multiculturalists' point that no, it doesn't work. You can't "mix cultures" like some lab experiment and expect to avoid violent chemical reactions.
