The Hungarian prime minister regularly frequents the Bálványos summer universities in Tusnádfürdő (Băile Tușnad), in central Romania. The university was founded 31 years ago by Fidesz-close organizations. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the events of 2020 and 2021 were cancelled.

Orbán expects peace in Ukraine only in 2024, the earliest

As usual, the Hungarian prime minister gave a holistic insight into global politics and then went on to list the tasks laying ahead of his government. Here are some of his strongest points:

  • If Trump was the president of the United States and Angela Merkel was Germany’s chancellor, there would be no war in Ukraine. That is because these leaders would have taken into consideration the security guarantees Putin asked for.
  • There will be no ceasefire or peace without a Russian-American negotiation because Moscow no longer wants to discuss with the leaders of Europe, who could not enforce the 2015 Minsk agreements. Therefore, peace negotiations will only be realistic in 2024, after the presidential elections in the USA.

2030 will be a turning point both in the USA and in the EU

  • The USA and the EU should focus on how to attain peace instead of how to win the war.
  • Russia will never attack NATO because the alliance is stronger. However, only Hungarians died in the war apart from the Ukrainians, of course. Orbán said that 86 Transcarpathian Hungarians gave their lives to stop the Russian invasion.
  • 2030 will mark a turning point both in Europe and in the USA. That is when the EU’s North-South conflict will escalate. Hungary has to be ready and has to reach its peak strength by then.
  • The West aims to spread its values but the East does not buy them. Furthermore, the Western civilization lost the war for raw materials.
  • There is a possibility that the EU will take away the gas from those states where it is widely used, such as  Hungary
  • The real West moved to Central Europe since the “European people” lost the Western-European cities. Therefore, our children’s task will be to provide asylum for Western-European Christians in the future.

At the beginning of Orbán’s speech, a civilian was protesting against the prime minister in Tusnádfürdő. Orbán reacted that people should act as gently as the Hungarian police officers do on the bridges of Budapest against the junkies. He probably referred to the recent protests organised by the Hungarian Two-Tailed Dog Party because of the latest government decisions, including small business tax and utility price cap modifications.

Later it became clear that the demonstrator was a Romanian national, 24.hu reported. He held a protest sign with an inscription: “Something is eternal: Transylvania is Romanian ground!“

Here is a video about how he and his compatriots were escorted out:

Here is what Orbán said in his 2019 speech

According to index.hu, the main point of the Hungarian prime minister’s 2019 speech was to articulate the principal duty of his political generation. He said then that their goal in the next 15 years was to build the illiberal state, create Christian liberty and fight against the liberals.

Orbán met ethnic Hungarian leaders yesterday

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán met leaders of ethnic Hungarian organisations in the Carpathian Basin on the eve of the speech he scheduled to deliver at Băile Tușnad (Tusnádfürdő), the prime minister’s press chief Bertalan Havasi said. The meeting was attended by presidents Hunor Kelemen of RMDSZ (Romania), Krisztián Forró of MKP (Slovakia), István Pásztor of VMSZ (Serbia), Róbert Jankovics of HMDK (Croatia) and Ferenc Horváth of MMÖNK (Slovenia).

Hungary’s government was also represented by Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjén, State Secretary János Nagy and the head of parliament’s foreign affairs committee Zsolt Németh.

During the discussion, it was established that the protracted war in Ukraine was taking a toll not only on Hungary but on ethnic Hungarian communities beyond the border, too. For this reason, there is a pressing need for coordinating efforts to avert economic and social dangers. The participants expressed their commitment to retain, even amidst the current crisis, what Hungary’s policy towards Hungarian communities abroad had achieved over the past twelve years, the press chief said.
