Ponta on M1: Educational institutions to educate, not politicise!

forrás: M1

George Soros foundations and people sponsored by him are acting against the nations of Eastern Europe, including Romania too, former Romanian prime minister previously wrote it on Facebook.

The influence of NGOs

In Romania, as well as in the newborn democracies after 1989, a parallel state-like system has been established besides the regular political system, Mr Ponta told the Hungarian state channel M1. „We saw in other countries the NGOs are fighting for the power with the help of universities and other organizations by investing in human resources.”

Besides actual daily politics in Romania, the members of so called ’civil society’ appeared, founded and trained by the same organizations.

Similar to America and Western Europe, politics must be made by politicans and politics always have to be transparent, Mr Ponta added. It’s harmful for society when some people participate in ruling, despite they are not politicians.

The role of the Soros network

Former Romanian PM said NGOs are always attacking politicians who are not necessarily nationalist in the first place, but at least representing a sovereign policy. This is the struggle of the 21st century, not the classic fight between left-wing and right-wing, he added.

Two sides are facing each other now. The first, where people believe that important political decisions has to be made on state levels, followed by the European and internationals. The second, where people funded by Soros-like organizations think this is wrong and decisions has to be made on international levels first, the only thing sovereign countries has to do is to execute them, Mr Ponta said.

Educational institutions’ role to educate, not to politicise!

Former PM explained, every country and their legal systems have their own specialties, though he said he’s not fully aware of the exact details of the recent changes in the law that regulates higher education in Hungary. He said, a same change in Romania would adversely affect Sapienta University of Kolozsvár, which he supported as a prime minister.

Educational institutions have to follow the principle of staying out of politics, but focus on education, Victor Ponta added. Today, the fight in Budapest is only about this, to decide if they want to make decisions for Hungary in Hungary, for Romania in Romania, for France in France. Or, we let them make decisions above our head and we are just here to execute them. He will never accept the last one, he noted.

The two countries always collaborated in important questions

The were moments, when I criticized Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán, but there were other moments, when the two countries collaborated in important questions, Victor Ponta said. Both of them understood, good decisions has to be made at home, for both country. This direction could mean development for European politicians, he added.”, he added. In his opinion, more and more politicians choose this way.

A similar draft bill to come out in Romania

In Romania, universities have different specialties than in Hungary. Victor Ponta said, he doesn’t want any harm on law-abiding universities who are fulfilling their constitutional role, which is to educate people.

I do not intend to ban Sapienta, he emphasized, but we need to create legislative methods pinpointing, that universities serving only education, not politics, told in he interview. NGOs that are politicising should convert into political parties and participate in the elections, he added.

We have to make financing of NGOs transparent. If it’s obligatory for parties to make their financial sources public, then why are NGOs exceptions? – he asked.

In Eastern Europe, we have to make the decision, before we will be forced to execute the orders of others, former prime minister of Romania told the Hungarian state channel M1.
