Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, speaking to supporters as the results of Sunday’s election came in, declared that ruling Fidesz had secured its greatest victory even when “great international forces” had mobilised against it.
All the money international organisations provided to the Hungarian opposition was “money down the drain”, he said. Referring to financier George Soros, Orbán said “the Hungarian left is Uncle Gyuri’s worst investment; they have done nothing but take money for twelve years.”
“We’ve protected Hungary’s peace and security,” Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in a victory speech after his Fidesz-led alliance secured a fourth successive term in Sunday’s election. “We’ve protected Hungary’s independence and freedom; we’ve protected its peace and security,” Orban said. Referring to the referendum on child protection, he added: “Although the final results are not known yet, I trust we’ve also protected our children and families.”
Addressing supporters at the Bálna Centre on the Pest side of the River Danube, the site where Fidesz awaited the results, Orbán said:
“The whole world could see here in Budapest tonight that Christian Democratic policies, conservative civic policies and patriotic policies have won.”
“We’re sending the message to Europe that this is not the past, this is the future,” he said. “This will be our shared European future.” “The whole world can see that Hungarians love their country,” he added. “We who have won tonight commit to always putting Hungary first,” Orbán said.

The problem with the opposition is that they still had the old guard involved. They needed to separate themselves from Ferenc Gyurcsány. Unfortunately, they didn’t and it bit them.
Perhaps, this is a good lesson for them to cut all ties with people like Gyurcsány
and start focusing on creating a new future for Hungary.
No shit, considering how rigged in favour of Fidesz the system is. Mafiosi Orban controls all major media outlets. Voting is made as hard as possible for those expats that left because of the wanna be dictator, while voting for non-resident hungarian minorities is made easy.
Thank You God that HERO Orban won!
There is not one shred of evidence that Soros funded anyone during the election campaign. If he had given the opposition money, they could have hired a lot more billboards etc. Other than that, only an airhead would call Orbán a ‘hero’ – many Hungarians (the ones actually living in Hungary, not the US or Canada or wherever) reluctantly voted for him but felt that change in the current uncertain times was not the best moment to have a new administration.
Shame, but it is what it is…. A dictatorship hiding behind the pretence of a democracy.
We knew what the outcome would be really. The Opposition never stood a chance, they need to regroup and change their leaders, too much baggage still. But of course when the government controls the media the way it does, it makes it that much harder. So, we take these results with a pinch of salt, as do other countries.
The good thing is nothing lasts forever, and as they’re saying, when Putin falls (and he will) Orbán won’t be far behind…….
It’s people like Linda Rivera we should pity, no connection with reality. Need to open their tiny minds and shut their big mouths……..
Respect all Persons Freedom of Speech and Democratic Rights to disagree with you.
Anonymous – concur, that the opposition, and I refered to this in my commentary some near 12 months past – needed as J.F.K did in the U.S.A. – new young “supposed” clean image after D.D.Eisenhower – new guard.
The “break away” – new era which we know was refered to Camelot, in the case of J.F.K. & Jackie.
The opposition – the old guard who had there time – made enemies that citizens had not forgotten, being at the forfront of the election campaign – set the tone that the opposition – was not going “new Wave” but still tied controlled by the old guard – who had Failed first time around and NEVER be able to resurrect there positions – there Partys image & position/image – at these National Elections.
This result be it a landslide victory whatever, of Fidesz – the next 12 – 18 months in Hungary – will be deeper in Challenges than they are at this present time and what eventuates – an ECONOMY in somewhat a “free fall” motion – just one MAJOR challenge – Victor Orban has on his “large” plate – the outcome will not see the people of Hungary – there quality of life – there leval of taxes – cost of living – interest rate rises – petrol & gas price increases – inflation continuing to rise – and that’s not ALL – on Victor Orbans “Big” plate.
European Union – NATO – Great Britain and the United States of America – what of the damaged image mode we are in – Hungary is in with the named ???
Hungary – we are in Damage control our brand name “soiled & scared” – by the deeds of the returned Government.
What next ?
Hungary – has been and this return of Government – will increase the size of the GLOBAL microscope – that is operating on Hungary.
Democracy – the “veiled” version – that Fidesz claim they function under is not FACT.
Hungary – will witness greater change to the Fidesz version of Democracy – in the immediate future – changes on the citizens that will in all probability see greater lessening of there ability to make opinions or choice of life-style – that are far removed to the CORE structures that are Democracy.
It will be Challenging & Interesting – the next 12 – 18 months.
The PEOPLE of Hungary – made there CHOICE.
They must take accountability & RESPONSIBILITY – for there Choice of Government.

We are the Captain of our Souls”.
