Viktor Orbán: Repeal the sanctions, Brussels!

After the overwhelming election victory of this past spring, the Fidesz-KDNP party coalition held its first party meeting in Balatonalmádi. According to Magyar Nemzet’s sources, Viktor Orbán did not hold back here either: he outlined a specific and detailed course for his members of parliament and asked them with unprecedented force to do everything in their power to protect Hungarian families. As was expected, the Russian-Ukrainian war and the failed Brussels sanctions were a main topic in the Prime Minister’s speech, but he of course commented on the domestic left as well.

In connection with the opposition, he also mentioned – as was brought up during the campaign – that the Gyurcsány-era and its members are trying to return to power, even though they already destroyed Hungary once before. After this statement, several members of the audience yelled out, “Never again Gyurcsány!”. The Prime Minister continued to explain that with the creation of a shadow government by the Dobrev-Gyurcsány duo, Brussels bureaucrats and Soros NGOs are trying to gain power. This is clear because they are funding the parties of the shadow government. This is what happened during the election campaigns, and it is what is happening now.

After commenting on the left, he summarized the mission for Fidesz-KDNP going forward: we must ensure energy supplies, and defend families and workplaces.

Families will be protected by the utility price cuts, the firewood program, and the brown coal program. Businesses are protected by several elements: an energy support program worth over 200 billion HUF for small and medium businesses, support for energy costs and investments that result in energy savings for production companies, a factory rescue program, and a job protection act to defend those in the service industry.

At the end of his speech, the Prime Minister affirmed that Hungary’s energy supply is secure. There will be enough natural gas, electricity and oil. The sanctions are causing major damage to our country, but with hard work we will have the chance to come out of this crisis as the country that can pass in the turns!
