Ruling Parties in the Lead

At the first two stops of the tour, Viktor Orban addressed several key issues in his speeches. In Kaposvar, the prime minister spoke in detail about upcoming developments in the city and also discussed the significance and stakes of the April 12 election.

There is an actor in this election who was neither invited nor expected. This actor is Ukraine, which is setting demands for Hungary.They want us to give up cheap oil, send them money, admit them into the European Union, and commit ourselves to supporting them. Hungary has refused these, and this is the source of the conflict,

he said in Kaposvar.

Viktor Orban also noted that a summit of EU prime ministers will be held in Brussels on Thursday, and Hungary can only withstand pressure if there is national unity.

The plan is clear. They want to install a government in place of the current one that will fulfill the demands of Brussels and Ukraine,

he said.

The wind is in our sails. We can win this election, and if we are determined, we will win it,

the prime minister emphasized.

International Big Capital Wants to Win the Election

Viktor Orban’s tour continued in Eger on Tuesday, where he met supporters at Dobo Square. Addressing the large crowd, the prime minister said he enjoys coming to Eger, and such meetings usually result in victory.

The city of Eger is a symbol of victory, and we will win in the April 12 election,

he underlined.

As in Kaposvar, the prime minister also spoke in detail in Eger about the dangers posed by the war.

When there is pressure, one must know how to say no. We must elect a government that has already proven itself and can say no,

he said. He added that throughout history there have been many instances when Hungarians wanted to stay out of war, but due to the incompetence of leaders, they failed.

The prime minister also reviewed the achievements of the past decade and a half, noting that a tax system had been introduced requiring large multinational companies to contribute part of their excess profits to the Hungarian budget. Over the past 15 years, he said, 15 trillion forints have been taken from large international companies and given to Hungarian families, pensioners, and workers.

International big capital is preparing to win the election and take back the money we gave to the Hungarian people,

he said.

He also stressed that Hungary will not allow itself to be cut off from cheap Russian oil imported by Mol in order to bring in more expensive fuel from Shell.

We will not hand over our major national companies to Western corporations. No matter how hard the Tisza Party fights for this,

he added.
