Orbán: preventive efforts could go on until the next general election in 2022

Speaking about Europe, Orbán said the continent “can even hardly see the back” of the United States and China, the two countries running a technological competition against one another on a military-economic basis.

“We can and we will protect the health and lives of people,” the prime minister said. “Nearly two million people gave their positions in the national consultation (survey) and determined how to proceed… Hungary must keep going!” he added. He insisted that protection must simultaneously be aimed at saving the lives of the elderly, and keeping kindergartens, schools, and workplaces open.

Hungary has a “fully prepared health care system, conscientious experts, and broad cooperation” which will ensure successful protection against the second wave of coronavirus, Orbán said, adding that success was also conditional on “everybody’s observing the rules”.

Orbán said that

preventive efforts could go on until the next general election in spring 2022.

He suggested that Hungary should acquire “a few million doses of the vaccine” expected to be completed next year and vaccinate people in a scheduled manner. He noted that nurses were being given a 70 percent payrise, adding that “a breakthrough is necessary in terms of doctors’ salaries”.

Concerning the economy, Orbán said that the government was working “not only to maintain the level reached during the past ten years but ensure that everybody can take a step further each year”. “Hungary cannot shrink, like a snail into its shell, but proceed, grow, expand, and rise like a rhapsody by Liszt,” he said.

The prime minister said he hoped Hungary would arrive at the 2020 elections “having successfully fenced off the epidemic, beefed up its health care, with an economic growth never seen before, full employment, a greater home construction boom than before and 13th month pensions being reintroduced.”

“Meanwhile, we will not have a moment of rest because of the Left wing,”

Orbán said, and insisted that the leftist parties were “busy undermining, weakening the national forces and cooperation, shooting at politicians and experts coordinating prevention against the epidemic, and telling on the country in Brussels,” Orbán said. “One does not know whether to laugh or cry,” he said, but warned that “our freedom will be at stake in 2022”.

Sovereign states are most jeopardised by “a global network advocating an open society, aimed at eliminating national structures, Orbán said, and insisted that

“George Soros‘s network… is aimed at building open societies of a mixed ethnicity through accelerating migration and dismantling national decision making competencies, and handing over those competencies to a global elite”.

That global elite “would not allow policies conflicting with its own interests in central Europe”, he added.

The global elite will “apply the same strategy in Hungary in the 2022 election campaign as in this year’s presidential election in Poland… using the repeatedly failed Left led by Ferenc Gyurcsány and having Momentum as its youth arm,”

Orbán said. “They are forces of the past that destroyed the country once before,” he said, adding that “the opposition no longer has parties with an independent will; they have been minced and processed like meat into sausage”. Once independent communities have now become a “leftist people’s party serving the Soros-network”, now preparing for a “decisive battle” in 2022, “backed by the international media, Brussels bureaucrats, and pseudo-civil NGOs”.

“We should have no doubts, they will do everything for power and money. It is time we deployed forces. After hard years of government we will have to return to the battleground of the election… a major battle awaits us in 2022. Get prepared!” the prime minister said in his article.

The US dollar “has knocked out” the euro, the European Union has isolated itself from Russian markets by sanctions and has been purchasing major technologies from its rivals, Orbán said.

The West has lost its appeal in central Europe and “our way of life does not appear to be desirable to Westeners”, Orbán said, adding that “Europe must be kept together in the years to come so that there seems to be no chance of reversing this historical trend”.
