Hungarian government proto-fascist, white nationalist?
The success of Viktor Orbán’s government and support for his conservative policies “is more and more of a sore point for our critics”, Zoltán Kovács, the state secretary for international communications and relations, said on Facebook on Sunday.
After the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) event in Budapest, it was clear that the “western mainstream media” would soon “swing into action”, he said. Parallels were drawn between the Hungarian CPAC event and Nazism and fascism, he noted. “I can see that the other side is losing its head because we’re doing something right.”
He noted that the American Conservative Union had held the conference several times outside the United States, including in Brazil, Australia, South Korea and Japan, though
it was first to be held in Europe.
Kovács said the event had conveyed a positive message on traditional conservative themes of God, the homeland and family. Churches, he said, needed protection and families needed support since the nation was built on their foundations.
The state secretary also insisted that conservative ideas gave answers to today’s thorniest questions such as national identity and the preservation of Judeo-Christian heritage, immigration and the family. To protect them, conservative movements must be encouraged, he said.
The reaction of liberals was unsurprising though notable for “how loud and extremist the critics of Orbán’s government have become.” One blogger condemned Hungary for being a “largely white country” that had “formed a
proto-fascist, white nationalist government,”
he noted.
Others claimed the event was held for those who “support Vladimir Putin’s closest European ally”, he said. Also, many were dumbfounded by the government’s position on the war in Ukraine and its ties with Russia, yet Orbán made himself clear: whereas Hungary was determined not to get involved in the war, “Hungary was among the first to call Russia an aggressor and to condemn the invasion … and the Hungarians stand foursquare behind the unprecedented humanitarian effort.”
Kovács said that while Paris and Berlin were mulling solutions that involved territorial concessions to Russia, Orbán was cynically being tarred as Putin’s “closest European ally”.
When it comes to illegal immigration, LGBTQ movements and Hungary’s family support system, he said the government’s critics ignored the facts and instead connected it with “fascism and white supremacy”, adding the national conservative government’s success was seen as
“a threat to the liberal, globalist camp”.
Orbán’s government, he said, had eliminated unemployment and drawn people back into the labour market. It “sent the IMF packing” and slashed public debt, budget deficits and household utility bills, he said, adding that the minimum wage was now higher than the average wage under successive Socialist governments.

After moving to Europe it become very clear everything in the west has evolved around Christianity from art , music and science. The values establish were the basis for a civil society. The US being only 4% of the world population and one of the youngest countries became the most successful and powerful country in the world for over 100 years is now being in danger of failing do to stupidity. The Ukraine war is the direct result of the left wing stupidity of the left n the EU and US. These are the same folks who made China the most powerful country in the world.
It’s a pity that the very same “western mainstream media” appears not to have brought (enough) attention to those who were some of the key speakers at Budapest’s CPAC, in particular Jack Posobiec and Zsolt Bayer (and his racist and antisemitic views, as well as being a close confidant of PM O, and #5 FIDESZ party member).
Shame on you 😉 “western mainstream media”.
Our Government – all middle aged White men with a token female. Says it all, really. Not for lack of talented women, I’m sure – it’s a mindset
Yes indeed!
Every picture tells a story, and it seems like the majority of voting-age Hungarian women, in particular, young women, just don’t see this, or worse still, they just don’t care. 🙁
I’ll tell you what I like about/in this photo, and it’s only two things, one is the wallpaper, and the other is the carpet.
I really must copy the above photo and send it to my brother, to entice him to get the very same for his entry hall and lounge room. 🙂 😀 – Any readers know who are the manufacturers? 🙂 😀
I’m a younger woman (over 30 and under 40), and just like how I like nice things, nice appearances, it seems that PM Orban is quite like me, he has seen all the “pretty young things” (my most sincere apologies to ALL female Heads of State and parliamentarians, that term is NOT meant to be derogatory) – Heads of State of other European countries – and he must have said to himself “I just gotta have one of those for my country’s image”, so now Hungary (read: PM Orban) has Ms Novak and Ms Varga for all to see and “admire”. 😀
