Zsuzsa Hegedus, adviser to the Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, has resigned after describing the speech given by the president during his visit to Romania as “Nazi”, in which he stressed that Hungary is not a country of “mixed races”.

Hegedus, who has criticized these words, has pointed out that the speech is a “purely Nazi” text, according to information from the newspaper ‘Nepszava’. The adviser, a friend of the prime minister for decades and a person from her close circle, has sent a letter to Orban in which she points out that her words are typical of “racist fanatics”.

“I am truly sorry to end this relationship due to this unfortunate decision. (…) However, after that speech, which contradicts my basic values, I have no other choice: even though you have never restricted my freedom, I have to break because of what has been said”, he pointed out.

The letter reaffirms his “anti-Semitic” position and ensures that he remains “as far from the position of the prime minister as Mako is from Jerusalem.” Thus, he has branded the speech “racist” and has lamented that he “would have liked even Joseph Goebbels”, who was at the forefront of the propaganda of the Third Reich.

In this sense, he has lamented that “the line of what is admissible has already been crossed by regulations contrary to the LGTBI community”, but has indicated that despite this he has “continued forward” with his work. “I don’t know how you haven’t realized that you have presented a text that is pure Nazism worthy of Goebbels,” she insisted.

In addition, he has expressed that he hopes it is a “simple error”, but has clarified that the resignation is irrevocable. “The accusations of a prime minister who openly promotes racist policies is unacceptable even within the framework of the extreme right in Western Europe,” he concluded.

On Tuesday, the International Auschwitz Committee called the speech “stupid” and “dangerous”, although a spokesman for Orban stressed that it had been “misunderstood”. Orban pointed out during his visit to Transylvania that countries in which “the European population has mixed with the non-European population” cannot be considered nations.

Thus, he pointed out that, although “Europeans are free to mix with whoever they want”, “we do not want to become peoples of mixed race”, which has led numerous politicians and religious groups to criticize his words.
