Hungarian Foreign Minister: powerful forces working now to create hegemony of opinions

Powerful forces are working today to create a hegemony of opinions – as noted by Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto on the side-lines of the 2nd Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security

“Almost a year ago, I had the honour to be here, and unfortunately, during this year the world has become even more dangerous,” Mr. Szijjarto said. “It would not be an exaggeration to say that the end of WWII and the present moment are comparable dangers, if not more. In Hungary, we feel great anxiety about the threats and development of modern conflicts. To stop this process, it is necessary to communicate, that’s why it is an honour for me to be here and briefly tell you what opinion we hold about this problem.”

The Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade stressed that today powerful forces are working to create a hegemony of opinion, “If you don’t follow the mainstream opinion 100 percent, then your right to voice your own opinion is instantly challenged and questioned. If you are not 100 percent ready to meet the general requirements, you are immediately attacked and blamed. This clearly shows the low standard of political debate in Europe today.”
