Former Hungarian PM: Hungary will leave the EU, catastrophe to follow Huxit
Gordon Bajnai, the former Prime Minister of Hungary between 2009 and 2010, talked about Hungary’s EU membership and a possible Huxit at a global security forum in Prague.
A new party-state is being born, says Bajnai
Bajnai took power after Former PM Gyurcsány resigned as prime minister following the 2008 global financial crisis, which knocked the Hungarian economy down. Gyurcsány is still a leading Hungarian politician heading the Democratic Coalition. Between 2019 and February 2024, DK seemed to become the greatest challenger of PM Orbán’s regime in the 2026 general elections. However, Gyurcsány’s rejection rate is so high in Hungary that experts claimed he would never gain power again.
Following the presidential clemency scandal, a new power arose in Hungary led by a previous Fidesz member and the ex-husband of Former Justice Minister Judit Varga, Péter Magyar‘s Tisza Party. Even though Gyurcsány is still a defining power in the opposition, his support is weakening by the day, and Péter Magyar’s star is rising following their almost 30% in the 2024 European parliamentary elections.
Mr Bajnai tried to return as the opposition’s leader in 2012 as the head of a coalition of leftist parties, organisations and background policymakers. However, he suffered a defeat in the 2014 general elections, following which he resigned from politics.
This is the reason why Bajnai kept repeating he was no longer a player in Hungarian politics at the Globsec global security forum in Prague. He participated in a talk of former state leaders, including Slovakia’s Mikulaš Dzurinda, Czechia’s Mirek Topolánek, and Austria’s Sebastian Kurz. They discussed the changing politics in Central Europe, 444.hu wrote.
Former PM Bajnai: Huxit possible, the Orbán government is working on it
Bajnai said there were structural changes in the Hungarian economy and the society’s mentality. He added PM Orbán aimed to create a society dependent on the Hungarian state because that transfers all the more power to politicians. The Orbán cabinet is building a new party state where the sole success criteria would be loyalty to the regime.
He said “cohabitation” with the EU would not last long. Now, the population is pro-EU, but many are working hard to change that.
However, following a possible Huxit, the Hungarian economy would collapse because German and Chinese carmakers would leave the country. Bajnai said there was no timed plan concerning a Huxit, but there was a strategy because the Orbán regime does not comply with the rules of the European Union.
The only other politician taking part in the forum was Balázs Orbán, the prime minister’s political director.
