German influencer talked about why he moved to Hungary: the keyword was safety

“Orbán does not allow so many people inside as, for example, Germany” and “Hungary is Western enough but not as much as Germany”, Marvin Billmann, a German influencer who decided to move to Hungary, told Hit Rádió. Marvin believes that Hungary is safer than Germany; you do not have to worry if you want to take a walk after sunset.

German influencer: Hungary safer than Germany

The German influencer talked about his decision to move to Hungary and why he likes to live here in an interview with Hit Rádió. You may check out the full interview by clicking HERE. The young German, who has a Christian cross hanging on his neck, said he and his brother felt they had to leave Germany in 2022. Their parents were not happy at first, but blending in was easier since one of his grandfathers was Hungarian, so the country and the culture were not alien to him.

Marvin said safety in Hungary was much greater than in Germany. Concerning the German elections, Marvin said there were not as many people in Germany who would continue to support the German government’s policies. He said traditions in Hungary were much more important than in Germany. Traditions were crucial even in Germany when he was a child, but that changed. He identified the turning point in 2015, the beginning of the migration crisis.

Marvin said that, in Hungary, you did not have to fear attacks on the streets. You may go for a walk even after sunset and not be worried about being stabbed. Meanwhile, Germany has become very dangerous, with people believing they can do everything without real consequences. According to the German influencer, most people or shops are no longer German in major German cities. He added that migrants could not behave properly; they litter, spit, and do frightening acts.

LGBTQ flags on churches

He also mentioned the sensitivity training at daycares, which he believes is improper for children who cannot comprehend the issues those trainings were meant to present. He talked about forcing the LGBTQ “thing” on the people, which he called nonsense. He said LGBTQ flags were placed on buildings, even in churches, but “people remained silent because they did not want to become a target of an LGBTQ attack, lose their jobs, or pay penalties”. “It seems the LGBTQ flag matters more than the German flag”, he concluded.

Finally, Marvin wondered why people did not stand up against these measures and parties.

Orbán’s German ties changing

PM Viktor Orbán had good relations with the German CDU, especially its Bavarian twin party, the CSU, before. That started to change after the migration crisis, and he has the best relations with the AfD today. Last week, Alice Weidel, co-leader of the party, visited Orbán in Budapest and called him “an example for AfD”. She also said that after the elections, one of Germany’s aims has to be to improve the political ties with Hungary and other countries in the region. You may read our article about the visit HERE.
