Balazs Orban attributed Viktor Orban’s long-standing political success to the government’s consistent support for the people and rejection of liberal ideologies that undermine their interests. He highlighted the successes of Hungary’s family support system, migration policy and economic performance.
A work-based economy provides a solid foundation: taxes are low, incomes are rising, people work, spend and invest—working pays off,
the PM's political director underlined.
Hungary has also chosen a different path on migration, he stressed.
We respect that other countries choose migration as a tool to address demographic or labor market challenges, but we do not intend to import people. In the long term, migration changes not only public safety, but also the functioning of democracy,
he warned.
Balazs Orban stated that the strained relationship with the EU stems from Brussels’s drive to create a centralized superstate.
We are Brussels’s democratic opposition, which is why they try to isolate and penalize us. But we govern in the interest of the Hungarian people—not to please Eurocrats. Brussels increasingly thinks, acts and relates to member states as if it were a liberal empire. Every challenge and problem Europe faces is examined from a single angle: Can it be utilized to reduce national competences and expand central power in Brussels? If the answer is yes, they don’t hesitate to take another step toward federalization,
he explained.
In closing, Balazs Orban stressed that despite the apparent trends, Hungary does not actively seek to serve as a model for other countries.
