The Continuous Betrayal of Europe—and of Hungary

In 2026, Hungarian voters will face a clear choice: submission to Brussels or the defense of national sovereignty.

This is precisely why Hungary's ruling Fidesz party left the EPP: because it became a tool of globalist elites, placing the interests of banks and multinationals above the will of the member states and the European people.

Today, the EPP serves this empire with full devotion, using every means at its disposal and doesn't shy away from destabilizing and toppling sovereign governments that refuse to toe the line. It grooms politicians from scratch, builds parties around them, brings them into the party family and inserts them into the machinery of Brussels.

The empire has had enough of Hungary's Brussels-integrated, post-communist Gyurcsany-led opposition's bumbling since 2010. Their liberal Momentum experiment failed too. So now the EPP has thrown its full weight behind the Tisza Party.

There are no coincidences in politics. Massive resources and a full political infrastructure have been handed to Tisza, boosting a party leader who is media-savvy, quick on his feet, and adept at social media messaging. The liberal, globalist press lined up behind him, as did the usual left-wing thinktanks known for manipulating public opinion.

And now even the transatlantic Soros–Democrat alliance has made its move. Just recently, through David Koranyi, they let it be known: Peter Magyar is their man. Lest we forget, it was their dollars fueling the Hungarian Left’s campaign back in 2022.

The alliance is seamlessly behind Magyar. Their aim? To force Hungary into line. To strip us of our independence. To place another nodding puppet in the prime minister’s chair. 

Magyar and his Tisza Party are merely tools for this goal.

The stakes are enormous. Should Ukraine join the EU under these terms—with the full support of Tisza voters—Hungary stands to lose vital EU funding. Next would come a wave of privatizations favoring globalist corporations, the removal of windfall taxes, the scrapping of our utility price caps, and the dismantling of our family support policies.

This would be their version of regime change. A regression back to 2010

—when Hungary stood on the edge of economic, political, moral, and social collapse.

So make no mistake: the 2026 election will be a historic reckoning. Hungarians will be choosing between submission to Brussels—or the defense of national interests.
