The speech of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban during the closed-door meeting of the ruling parties Fidesz and the Christian Democratic Party, held in Balatonfured in the western part of the country, focused on the “new international situation created after the inauguration of US President Donald Trump“, the Hungarian news agency MTI reported, citing the pro-government newspaper “Modyar Nemzet“, BTA reports.
In his speech, Orban said that the inauguration of the new US president means that “the supporters of the global liberal ideology have lost the support of the greatest power in the Western world“.
Orban said, quoted by the publication that the new American administration is “patriotic and anti-immigration, defending traditional thinking based on family values instead of gender ideology“. “A friendly government has come to power that treats Hungary as a partner“, Orbán stressed, adding that this allows his country “to think big“. “For the last 15 years we have been sailing against headwinds, but finally the wind has turned to our side“, he said. “George Soros' network has lost Washington and the new administration has started to destroy the network in question, which means that no more dollars will come. Soros can now rely only on Brussels and the money of European taxpayers“, Orbán said.
The prime minister also warned that “the ideology that failed in Washington still rules in Brussels“. "They treat Hungary as an enemy there. The real political opponents of Hungary are in Brussels," he said. "They want to expel the patriotic government and establish a puppet government, they want to tell Hungarians what we can and cannot do. They are an empire, and we are rebels who are preventing this," Orban said. "Furthermore, we will cooperate with those in Europe and America who think like us and after Washington, we will occupy Brussels," the prime minister added.
Regarding Ukraine, Orbán said that integration into the European Union would end direct subsidies for Hungarian farmers, with "this money being sent to Ukraine."
According to him, the US would no longer finance Ukraine and "Brussels is trying to make Europeans, including Hungarians, pay for it." He added that “a proposal has already been submitted for the Hungarians to give Ukraine 200 billion forints (about one billion leva) annually.
“Currently, Ukraine does not meet any of the criteria for EU membership, therefore its EU membership is excluded“, he said.
The Prime Minister said that “Trump and Elon Musk have exposed the network of political corruption of Soros and the Democratic Party, which has distributed billions of dollars to the media and international organizations, including in Hungary, but they will no longer pay bundles of dollars to their mercenaries in Hungary“.
“Political corruption is when someone receives money to write what they want from him“, Orbán said, asking the deputies to adopt strict laws and to “expel from Hungary all those who receive such funds“.
“The empire lost the battle for Washington and is losing the war. They want to get their revenge in Hungary in 2026. They hired new fighters, they will return with a new army. We must be ready and win. This year will be a breakthrough year“, he said.
Regarding the recent negotiations between the US and Russia, Orbán said that “Europe was abandoned, while Hungary continues to support truce and peace“.
