Did Hungary pay for Orbán’s speech on the Dallas CPAC?

The Dallas CPAC this weekend was an important milestone in the 2024 Trump campaign. Uniquely, the event was opened by the keynote speech of the Hungarian prime minister this Thursday evening. But did the Hungarian state pay a big amount for that?

As we reported, PM Viktor Orbán gave the keynote speech at this year’s CPAC in Dallas. The event ended with Trump’s almost 2-hour-long speech yesterday. On Friday, an opposition MP, Ákos Hadházy, wrote that Orbán’s audience was thin since most of the chairs were empty while the Hungarian prime minister spoke. Below you can watch his video compilation.

Hadházy said that Orbán’s speech was like an old rock star’s performance, who returns for the 4th time on stage for a last “show”. However, nobody listens to his music anymore.

 

PM Orbán reacted on his Facebook page on Saturday. He said that there were many listening to his speech and they did not give a damn what the leftist media wrote.

In connection to Orbán’s CPAC speech, hvg.hu wanted to know how much the Hungarian state or government paid for it. Bertalan Havasi, the press chief of Orbán, said the amount was zero. “The Hungarian state did not pay for it and asked nothing in return”, he added.

However, HVG writes that the Hungarian Alapjogokért Központ (Centre for Fundamental Rights, CFR) is one of the sponsors of the CPAC. That organisation received HUF 2 billion (EUR 5.08 million) from Hungary this year, which is almost its entire budget. HVG wanted to know what the financial support of the CFR covered but received no answers yet. They also asked the main organiser of the CPAC, the American Conservative Union (ACU), whether they knew that one of their sponsors received a lot of money from another state. However, they have not reacted so far.

  1. REMEMBER : through this Humongous Challenge – the future of Hungary, designed orchestrated and instigated, by the Fidesz Party, under its Leader and present Prime Minister of Hungary – Victor Orban, it is COSTING, from his “own & personal” pocket – not one Florint/huf.
    Victor Orban – this cataclysmic downward trend – he has set in course for Hungary – his “fat” pocket, remains unscathed by the on-going collapsing of the Hungarian economy.
    Citizens of Hungary – in the millions – totally DIFFERENT scenario.
    The “pockets” of millions of us, being RAVAGED by the ERRORS of the Orban led Government, but the Prime Minister – does the WALLET grow whilst we in millions – fight for our SURVIVAL ???

  2. “Idle talk” posssible Gossip just to add on-going “excitement” to the life & times, of the Hungarian Prime Minister – Victor Orban.
    It is being widely reported – tickets of entry, at the door of the convention/venue – in fact GIVEN away, in an attempt, to “partially” fill – the auditorium Orban – gave his “Creed” – his Political Ideas & Philosophy – of the WORLD – he seeks to CHANGE & have us – live in.
    The closing season -of this Dallas CPAC “my prayer” – the “Infamous” 45th elected President of the United States of America – Donald. J. Trump – had the “gall” or just out-right stupidity – to stand before the FAITHFUL of the Republican Party – and for (2) two hours – yes (2) two hours – address the FAITHFUL.
    Question does beckon, what human being think its their god given right, to stand before “others” for a (2) two hour period – and “subject” them, attempting to “self” – promote them-selves – Pontificate them-selves – that my WAY – my “creed” is the saving of America and the World.
    “Sermo in monte” – latin for – Sermon on the Mount – very much DOUBT – that the one who RIGHTFULLY held “center” stage at this outing – the MORAL teachings he Gave all in the countryside around Lake Galilee – then into the hills – that – the “presenter” – subjected “his” children, to sit for (2) two long hours, in the heat of the summer conditions of Galilee.
    Key word usage is MORAL in teaching – which on-going – D. J. Trump – falls off the cliff edge, into a deep valley of the un-known.
    General Douglas MacArthur – 1880-1964 – “moral” sound driven advice by MacArthur – a “born” leader of men – the “Former” President of the U.S.A. – Donald. J. Trump – should as MacArthur did – in his FAMOUS speech – at the rostrum, presented delivered to the American Congress – dated April 19th 1951 – in FACT – his last public speech, that he delivered – D. J. Trump SHOULD practice – replacing Soldiers with Presidents – that
    “Old Soldiers Never Die; they just Fade Away”.
