PM Viktor Orbán: This will be our last election before the war

At a major rally in the city of Kecskemét on Saturday, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán declared that Hungary’s 2026 general election will be the country’s final vote before a looming war reaches Europe.

Does Viktor Orbán know something we do not?

Speaking at an anti-war gathering organised by the Digitális Polgári Körök (Digital Civic Circles) civic network, he argued that the outcome of the election would determine whether Hungary could stay out of a conflict he believes is drawing closer.

Viktor Orbán told supporters that the government elected in 2026 would be responsible for protecting the country and “rescuing Hungary from a war danger that is very likely approaching us.” He framed the vote as a pivotal decision point: a pro-Brussels government, he warned, would “drag Hungary into the war”, while a national-minded cabinet would still have a “chance to stay out of it”.

The opposition isn’t resting either

The Kecskemét event formed part of a wider political showdown taking place in the city, which has increasingly become a key battleground ahead of the next elections. While the prime minister addressed his supporters at the anti-war rally, the rival Tisza Party, led by Péter Magyar, held its own forum elsewhere in the city, continuing its national tour, writes HVG.

According to Hungarian press coverage, the ruling party’s event—meticulously choreographed as a large-scale political show—was briefly disrupted at the entrance by two activists from the satirical Two-Tailed Dog Party (Magyar Kétfarkú Kutya Párt), who unfurled a provocative banner.

Inside, a well-known line-up of pro-government media personalities and influencers took to the stage, while former president Pál Schmitt and his wife were seated among the guests.

War on every front

In his speech, the prime minister insisted that the threat of war is not only geographical but also political. He claimed that European leaders have already decided the continent must prepare for conflict, stating that the EU expects to be ready for a potential confrontation with Russia by 2030.

“It is no coincidence that we hold anti-war rallies,” he said, urging Hungarians to draw lessons from history and strengthen the nation economically and morally.

PM Viktor Orbán also commented on the current sanctions regime against Russia, expressing hope that a future U.S.–Russia agreement could eventually reintegrate Moscow into the global economy and overturn existing restrictions. He argued this was why his government maintains communication with both Washington and Moscow.

As Hungary moves closer to the 2026 elections, the prime minister’s message suggests that foreign policy and the question of war or peace will remain central themes of the Fidesz campaign.

  1. Unfortunately, he’s right. Did you hear a single European “leader” mention a desire for peace, even by making unreasonable demands from Putin? Not one. They want the war to escalate. They want depopulation, abolition of private property, brain chips, digital currency, digital identity; in a word, total control.

    Call it a “conspiracy theory,” even though the W.E.F. is on record on every single point, but never say you’ve not been warned.

  2. I would suggest that Orban and Hungarians get to know what was signed when Hungary joined NATO and specifically Article 5. NATO’s Article 5 is the core principle of collective defense, stating that an armed attack against one member in Europe or North America is considered an attack against all, OBLIGATING OTHER MEMBERS TO ASSIST, potentially WITH ARMED FORCE, to restore security. The problem with Fidesz is that the only loyalty or obligation they have is to themselves. They take but don’t give. It is by definition a parasitic organization. No one in Europe can trust Orban or his government or in any way rely on it. They really have completely succumed to Russian subversion.

  3. “Does Viktor Orbán know something we do not?”

    A few months before this war began he warned us it was coming, though that w2arning was not quite so explicit as this.

    If a war is coming it bis the result of the old Liberal System of The Western Elite attempting to reassert the control it is losing.

    They will not succeed – for numerous reasons, but, for one above all – they no longer control the media.
