With values ​​on the way out

“We had evil kings.

There were idiot kings.

But there have never been any evil idiot kings before you. "

This quote from Game of Thrones can be paraphrased (purely out of politeness) and applied to the current representatives of the European elite.

For example, to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Luxembourg, Jean Asselborn, who proposed an ingenious solution to the Hungarian problem.

Recall that Budapest (like Warsaw, which joined it) is actively resisting the trends of the European LGBT dictatorship - for example, by adopting a law prohibiting LGBT propaganda in the education system.

A number of Luxembourg's neighbors (for example, the prime ministers of the Netherlands and Belgium) have already announced that such a Hungary has no place in the EU.

Indeed, according to the head of the Dutch government, Mark Rutte, the LGBT issue "is so fundamental" for the European community that without it "we are just a trading bloc with a single currency."

Where he got this from is not clear: the EU was created not around LGBT people, but around a single market, democracy and liberal values. Hungarians are for democracy, so they intend to hold a referendum on the law banning LGBT education in schools. The European elites were extremely unhappy with this, and Jean Asselborn decided to mirror the actions of Budapest. Also hold a referendum and ask the Europeans themselves if they want to continue living with Hungary in the same bloc. “We must hold a referendum and see if we are ready to be tolerant (to Hungarian behavior. - 

). I am sure the answer will be “no,” says the minister.

It would seem that there is no crime in the minister's words. Firstly, power comes from the people, and it is up to the people in a referendum to make such difficult decisions as the exclusion of a member country (which has never happened before in the European Union - the British left themselves). Europeans have the right to organize a referendum. Yes, it will not lead to automatic exclusion of Hungary from the EU, but it will make Budapest at least shudder soberly and look at the scales. Where on one side is Hungary's membership in the European Union (with all financial bonuses and an open market), and on the other - Hungarian conservative values. Take a look and choose which is more expensive for Hungarians.

However, in fact, Monsieur Asselborn's proposal for a referendum - if, of course, it is supported by the European Union and implemented - may become a big problem not for Hungary, but for the EU itself.

A problem that can put an end to the current European elite and even a united Europe.

Of course, a scenario a la Brexit or "Trump's First Election" simply suggests itself, when the result of the vote will be the opposite of what the elite expects of it.

After all, not everyone in the EU supports the LGBT bacchanalia that is now happening in the Western world, but at the same time they are afraid to openly oppose it.

However, no one bothers them to speak out against at the polling station.

And if these speakers turn out to be in the majority, then the European elites will have to admit that their attempts to impose ultraliberal values ​​on people have failed.

However, such a scenario is still unlikely.

Monsieur Asselborn is right: most likely, the Europeans will vote to expel Hungary.

But not because of LGBT people, but because we are talking about Hungary.

The fact is that a significant part of Western Europe is confident that Hungary and most other countries of Eastern Europe are pulling the European Union down.

Mentally, materially, politically.

Many in old Europe have already realized that the idea of ​​accepting Eastern European countries in the EU at the beginning of the 2000s in bulk was a huge mistake, for which the European Union is paying the price to this day.

However, all mistakes, except death, can be corrected.

For example, to kick Hungary out of the EU under the pretext that Budapest violates the rights of gays, lesbians and dozens of other sexes.

Thus, an extremely dangerous precedent will be set.

The mechanism by which the black mark can be issued to other Eastern European countries - Bulgaria, Romania, even Poland.

And then the European Union can really crumble.

Does Mr. Asselborn think about it?

Unlikely.

He is a representative of a small country, was brought up exclusively in small-town traditions and sees the world through the prism of ultraliberal values.

The leaders of the European Union should think about this, so they, most likely, will reject his proposal.

Unless, of course, they are the leaders of the European Union, and not just the lucky ones who found themselves in a bread place.
