PM Orban: Trump Won't Give Up, Budapest Peace Summit Drawing Closer

Viktor Orban has sent a message to the members of the digital civic circles, commenting on the most significant public events of the week. Hungary's Prime Minister addressed, among other issues, the American peace plan, the Budapest peace summit, Ursula von der Leyen’s letter, and also shared his opinion on the Tisza Party’s candidate nominations.

Supporting them is not worthwhile, not profitable, and not safe, PM Orban opined, pointing out that it is clear as day: in Hungary there are only two type of political parties — the national and the one representing foreign interests. 

There is the Right and the Left. The tax-cutters and the tax-raisers. The supporters of families and the ones who cater to multinational corporations. Take your pick!

 he stated.

He also mentioned that the news portal Telex has been exposed. As previously reported by Magyar Nemzet, it has come to light that the outlet received nearly two hundred million forints from the former U.S. administration. Even funds that were intended for teacher and mentor training ended up with the portal's leaders and authors, as revealed in the report by the Office for the Protection of Sovereignty.

"It is important to know who pays the piper and calls the tune! It is equally important not to listen to propaganda media financed from abroad," Viktor Orban emphasized.

Uncertainty Decreased for Hungarian Households

At the end of his message, the Prime Minister also addressed the situation of Hungarian households. He pointed out that between 2015 and 2024, Hungary experienced the greatest decrease in the uncertainty of household financial conditions within the European Union. Last year, 30 percent of EU residents said they could not cope with unexpected financial expenses.

The largest decline of the past decade occurred in Hungary: between 2015 and 2024,

the proportion of those unable to cope with unexpected expenses fell by 43.6 percentage points, from 72.2 percent to 28.6 percent,

he highlighted, adding that Hungary is now performing better than the EU average regarding this indicator.

He went on to point out that in the same period, Hungary also recorded the largest decrease — five percentage points, from six percent to one percent — in the share of the population behind on mortgage or rent payments. "Not to mention that in 2024 Hungary had one of the lowest shares of affected households in the entire Union. Moreover, the proportion of people with mortgage, rent, utility bill, or installment payment arrears declined by the fourth largest amount in Hungary since 2015, falling by 12.4 percentage points: from 21.7 percent to 9.3 percent," Viktor Orban recalled.
