The EU jury of the European Capital of Culture contest (EKF 2023), said that one of the participating towns is “too white and there are not enough migrants”, Hungarian news website “888.hu” reports.
With only seven semi-finalists left, the Hungarian town of Székesfehérvár made a promotional film for the jury. The film shows the town’s most beautiful places, a happy couple and some kids playing.
But the EU’s jury rejected the submission of Székesfehérvár’s debut film: “There are too many happy white people and crosses, and not enough migrants,” the jury said.
The film of the town also featured on YouTube and attracted over 3,000 views. One of the European Union’s experts replied with: “This is the propaganda film for white Christian Europe; everyone is white, happy and dancing in the streets.”
The mayor of the Hungarian town, Dr. András Cser-Palkovics, gave a press conference about the decision of the jury on Wednesday. He said that in fact no expert hearing was conducted, but the decision was solely based on daily political issues and accusations were directed at Székesfehérvár and the delegation.
The mayor also recalled the criticisms made by the film committee about Székesfehérvár: “They left the poor and the migrants out of the film, but at the same time, there were too many crosses, churches, and what was even worse, the attitude of the city, because they regarded this as a value.”
The jury decided after all to recommend the entries of Győr, Debrecen and Veszprém as finalists for the European Capital of Culture.
This is the most despicable thing I've ever read. How can anyone write this in good conscious? They're literally saying that Christianity isn't cultural, and that if you celebrate the happiness of your country's native people, then you're a bad person. Is it bad to be happy and successful? Are native populations inherently evil? Seems like the EU has total and open hatred for their own continent and the nations on it. They want to fail, they want their neighbors to fail, and they're not even trying to hide it. In fact they're proud of it; they're giving an award for it!
I will never set foot on European soil so long as these backwards hateful bigots are in charge.

Voice of Europe has shut down operations!
Well, when are you next dancing in the streets?
Do you have a visible cross somewhere?
Around your neck or over the table or over your bed?
Maybe you should start a Shakespeare Club.
Or a Museum Club.
