PM Viktor Orbán: “the West will fail”

The nation is a “great invention of the West and the heart and soul of the free world”, but all nations are currently under attack, Prime Minister Viktor Orbén told the 2nd Conservative Political Action Conference Hungary (CPAC Hungary) in Budapest on Thursday.

At the same time, “the nation state is also the Achilles’ heel of the Western world”. “Should nations crumble and evaporate, the opportunity for a free life will be lost and the West will fail,” he said.

“We are all under attack, in Europe as in the US, and that attack in not economic in nature … we are facing a virus attacking the most vulnerable point of the Western world, the nation,” Orbán said.

The will of the people, that is democracy itself, is the “weak spot of progressive forces”, the “antidote to the progressive virus is here in Hungary, accessible to all … it works well and is adaptable everywhere,” Orbán said.

“All you have to do is write No migration, no gender, no war on a banner before the elections…” he added.

Hungarians have stopped illegal migration at the border, banned gender propaganda in schools and are working for peace without compromise, Orbán said, adding that “people can feel when it’s their lives on the line, and will vote for the political force protecting the nation and representing their values.”

Hungary is the place where the defeat of progressive liberals and a conservative, Christian political turnaround was not only talked about, but also accomplished, the prime minister told the event organised by the Center for Fundamental Rights.

It is hard to imagine a country in a worse situation than the one Hungary was in in 2010, Orbán said.

“The question at that time was whether conservative policy could achieve a recovery in a country bankrupted by the rampage of the liberals,” he said.

The experiment worked, “and we’re proof that only conservative politics can be of help where liberals and leftists brought a country to ruin”, Orban said.

The Hungarian success story keeps going ever since, he added
