PM Orban noted that
Godollo’s location near Budapest and its university of agricultural sciences, one of Hungary’s top institutions, give it excellent development potential. We tried to make the most of these advantages — and I believe we have,
he said.
“We are not starting from zero. Some wings of the palace had already been restored in 2011, for Hungary’s EU presidency, when the European Council also held meetings there. Now we don’t just want to show ourselves to Europe — we want to claim the place that rightfully belongs to us,” he remarked, adding that “Brussels also knows what place that is.”
We can only support Brussels’ ambitions as long as they do not conflict with our sovereignty,
Orban said firmly. He observed that Europe has changed dramatically since 2011 — “Back then, it was a hopeful place on a track of growth. Today, there is war instead of peace, and stagnation instead of growth. The political situation in Europe is far worse than it was in 2011. Hungary’s interest is to preserve peace for Hungarians and to ensure that Hungarian money stays here, not sent to Ukraine,” he stressed.
Viktor Orban concluded that the renovation project will last nine years, and that the funds invested will benefit not only the palace but also the local Godollo community.
Earlier, Minister Janos Lazar had hinted on social media that
an extraordinary announcement was to come from the Prime Minister
— which Viktor Orban himself later confirmed in a post.
