Let’s start right away with the most important one, who was the keynote speaker at the two previous CPACs. Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán. The line can be continued with Geert Wilders, the president of the Dutch Freedom Party, who achieved the best result in his country in the last election. Santiago Abascal, the president of the Spanish sovereignist party Vox, and Tom Van Grieken, the leader of the Flemish right, will also be here from Europe. Marek Kuchcinski, chairman of the Law and Justice party of the Polish-Hungarian representative group of the Sejm, who was also the head of the legislature between 2015 and 2019, is coming from Poland. Fabrice Leggeri, the former head of Frontex, who is in 3rd place on the French National Compact (RN) EP list, is arriving, Origó wrote.
Important people also come from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, for example, Markwayne Mullin, a former cage fighter who is also determined in the political arena, not to mention a senator from Oklahoma. Two congressmen have announced their participation: Hungarian-born Andy Harris from Maryland, who has long been a committed opponent of the liberal swamp and turned pro-peace politician, and Keith Self, who is fighting for border protection in Texas against the flood of migrants coming from the south.
The focus is on normality
The two days of CPAC Hungary will be an important event for everyone who believes in normality in the Western world. The sovereignists meeting under the triple motto of God, home and family will soon be given the opportunity to change the world. The globalist elite, which has lost all vision, is steering it towards destruction: pro-war, migration and gender support are all nails in the coffin of the Western world. But now there is still time to change and fix things. CPAC Hungary will clarify the difference between the two alternatives.
Viktor Orbán: We must say no to migration, gender, and war
The number of more than two thousand participants, 130 journalists, and 30 domestic and foreign partner organizations coming to CPAC Hungary showed the strength of the Hungarian right in 2023. As Viktor Orbán said at the event:
On the other hand, the Hungarian conservative experiment is successful because we get to know the Marxists from a distance of many miles, even unseen, even by smell. They were sitting on our necks here. They proclaim that class is more important than nation and precedes belonging to the nation. I lived twenty-six years under Marxist oppression. There was a joke at the time that the absolute class struggle is when the cat of the party house chases away the mouse of the party house
– said the Prime Minister, who believes that wherever the class struggle rears its head, peaceful, cooperative countries will become the scene of unrest, leaving only relentless hostility.
The prime minister also addressed the dangers of progressive politics, stressing that progressive foreign policy causes chaos and confusion. At the same time, Viktor Orbán highlighted that he is sure that if Donald Trump were the president of the United States, there would be no war in Ukraine.
Come back Mr. President and bring us peace!
he emphasized.
The first CPAC Hungary took place in 2022
The quintessentially American event with decades of tradition visited Europe in 2022. There is a successful, widely supported right-wing government in Hungary, so – as Viktor Orbán mentioned in his speech – there is a cover behind the words of the ruling force, namely political success. Twelve years is already enough time that, of course, taking into account the PR power of the international criticism of our country and the Prime Minister, the Republicans, who have lost a little momentum, are paying attention to it in America as well. The Hungarian Prime Minister then went on to say that the recipe is for open use and can be taken freely, which consists of the following 12 points:
The first point is that we have to play by our own rules. And whoever does not play by his own rules will surely lose. The second point is that national conservatism must be enforced in domestic politics. This gives rise to the third point, i.e. the representation of the national interest in foreign policy.
According to Viktor Orbán, the fourth point is that the right-wing should have a media, because this is the only way to present the craziness of the progressive left, he stated. The Prime Minister explained: the modern Western media adapts to the position of the left.
The prime minister noted that he would not be able to count until the evening, if he wanted to count how many media outlets support the American Democrats, and the media outlets of the Republicans do not compete with them. The fifth point: hide your opponents’ intentions! The Hungarian Prime Minister believes that taboos must be decided for this.
Not the taboos of today, but of tomorrow
he added. “We make public what the left wants to do before they do it,” he said.
He cited the referendum on LGBTQ propaganda about children as an example. The majority of Hungarians rejected the sensitization of children, he declared. The sixth point is the economy: the left wants to operate the economy according to abstract ideas, the prime minister pointed out, this is forbidden for the right, he underlined.
“Even those who don’t vote for us are doing well with us,” he said, adding: this is the total opposite of the progressives, with whom even those who voted for them are doing poorly, since people want jobs and want to get ahead in life.
Seventh point: don’t be pushed to the wind! In fact, people do not ask from the extremes of any side – explained the Prime Minister, who believes that there is no difference between the anti-science of the extreme right and the anti-biology of the extreme left.
As the eighth point, Viktor Orbán emphasized the importance of daily reading. As he said, he designates a day every week that he devotes only to reading. In his opinion, it also helps us understand what our opponents think of us. If this can be found out, the rest is just technical work, he pointed out.
The ninth point: have faith! he emphasized. According to Viktor Orbán, a lack of faith is dangerous, because if someone does not believe that there will be a reckoning one day and that he must answer for his actions before God, he feels that he can do whatever is in his power.
Therefore, let’s encourage young conservative students to deal with the life of faith. At first I didn’t think this was important either, but I learned that if I take the time to focus on my faith, then success comes more easily
he highlighted. As he said, it is equally important to have good relationships and friends. Progressive liberals and neo-Marxists are infinitely united and protect each other’s backs, while conservatives are able to quarrel with each other even on the smallest matter. But if we want to prosper in politics, we should never look at what we disagree with, but look for common points! he underlined.
As the eleventh point, the prime minister talked about building communities, saying: he learned over the years that there is no conservative political success without functioning communities. After all, the smaller the community and the more lonely people are, the more voters go to the liberals. And the more the community, the more votes the conservatives get.
Finally, Viktor Orbán highlighted the importance of institutions. In his opinion, successful politics requires institutions and institutes.
Let’s not forget: politicians come and go, but institutions stay with us for generations. They are capable of intellectually renewing politics
he pointed out.
