Welcome to the fourth CPAC Hungary and to the first when the president of the United States is once again called Donald J. Trump!
Thirty-six years ago, right here on this stage, Gyula Horn announced that the Hungarian Socialist Workers’ Party (MSZMP) would drop the word “workers” from its name. Since then, voters have done the same with the entire party: the Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP) has ceased to exist politically. And let’s be honest, when we think about the fate of our parents and grandparents, that’s good news.
Today, we are once again living through a time of regime change — but this time, it’s not just a regional phenomenon; it’s global. This process is unique because it coincides with a cultural crisis — what we now call the woke insanity — although parts of it feel very familiar from Marx and the Internationale. And the true patriot is right to suspect neo-Marxists in every nook, because the globalists are also attacking the very existence of nations and states. Yesterday, they sang "the world will become international"; today, they say "an ever-closer EU unity."
But the real question remains the same: who holds the ultimate power? Will decision-making be outsourced to a federal body, will international networks have the final say, or will citizens decide at the national level where we go from here? Sovereignty, therefore, is also a question of democracy.
Because if some deep-state center sets the rules in advance and permanently on issues like migration, child protection, war, or even the EU accession of a country attacked through no fault of its own, then there’s no point in having complex but democratic electoral procedures.
That’s exactly how the American Democrats saw it when they wanted to remove Trump from the ballot, and this is how "Broekzele" acts when they seek to eliminate political opponents. Let me translate: Brussels, in Old Dutch, is called "Broekzele," which literally means "a settlement in the swamp." No wonder the bureaucrats chose it for their headquarters.
