Message from the Director

Ice-breaking meetings in Poland

After two years of waiting we decided to be optimistic and looking into the future. With David Kalmár, the new Deputy Director we paid a short visit to Poland. It was worth traveling. We met Beata Surmacz, Director of the Institute of Central Europe and her deputies Tomasz Stepniewski and Lukasz Lewkowitz in Lublin to discuss their participation in next year’s summer seminar in Balatonfüred and also join the search projects on European Security. We met Professor Bogdan Góralczyk of the University of Warsaw and dr. hab. Kamil Zajaczkowksi, new Director of the Centre of East Europe. They see med to be happy to re-start the academic cooperation with us and we can only hope that personal meetings can go on now. We plan our traditional Summer Seminar in Balatonfüred in August next year. Exact date will be decided in January after the annual board meeting.

György Odze

US state secretary to visit Poland

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will visit Poland on August 15, officials have announced.

The US ambassador to Poland, Georgette Mosbacher, said in a Twitter post that Pompeo would visit Warsaw to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Poland’s victory over the Russian Bolsheviks in the 1920 Battle of Warsaw.

“His visit is yet another sign of the deep and enduring partnership between our two countries,” Mosbacher added.

While in Europe next week, Mike Pompeo is also expected to visit the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Austria.

Summer Seminar 2020- Notification

Dear Friends!

Dear Suppoerters and Partners!

We would like to inform you, that due to the unsure pandemic situation we decided to postpone our summer seminar to the coming year (2021).

We hope that in the autumn or in the winter we can organise a smaller event in Budapest or we can also meet in 2021 at the shore of Lake Balaton.

Stay safe!

Kleine Zeitung: EU Owes Debt of Gratitude to Orbán for 2015 Migration Policy

“The EU is in Orbán’s debt,” journalist Boris Kálnoky wrote in an editorial published in Kleine Zeitung this past Saturday. According to the journalist, Europe’s migration policy has reached the point where Orbán was five years ago.

Kálnoky explained in his article in Kleine Zeitung how in his view, times change. In 2015, the European Commission only spoke of the “refugee crisis” when more than a million people flocked to the EU without any control. Today, the EU agrees with the Greek Minister of the Interior, who describes the current situation as “a rush of illegal migrants.” The publicist also emphasized that five years ago, the Hungarian prime minister was the only one to “call things by their name” and the only one who protected the country’s borders not only with a fence but also with strict legal regulations. He added that

“Orbán was demonized for this in Europe.”
He also points out in his editorial that when Prime Minister Orbán asked the EU to pay part of the cost of border security, he received only a “smug” response letter from then-Commission President, Jean-Claude Juncker, who refused to share the costs. German Chancellor Angela Merkel also said at the time that “fences are not the answer” to the refugee crisis.

Kálnoky then laments on the present situation, asking the question “And now?” According to the journalist, now the EU wants to transfer a lot of money very quickly as a “solidarity” move for Greece, the country which chases migrants back to sea, and also since then has a border fence.

Kálnoky added that the EU wasted five years to adopt the stance Orbán already took back in 2015. He also quoted Orbán’s words from 2015:

“Only consistent border protection is effective protection. Europe should not make itself dependent on Turkey with a refugee deal.”
Kálnoky concluded the article by writing:

“Orbán has done an intellectual, material service to Europe. He was berated for it, as the devil in person. Orbán was right.”
Kálnoky then added that the EU owes a debt of gratitude to the Hungarian Prime Minister.

Last week, Christian Ortner, a journalist for Austrian daily Die Presse, wrote a similar article, saying that Viktor Orbán was right about the need to protect the European Union’s external borders from a massive inflow of illegal migrants and “deserves an apology” for the criticism he received for his policy.
