Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has been invited to give an opening address at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas, USA, on August 4, Bertalan Havasi, the PM’s press chief, said on Monday.
Orbán gave a speech at the first CPAC Hungary conference in May, the first such event held in Europe. CPAC was founded in 1974, and has grown into an event drawing tens of thousands of conservatives every year.
HERE you can check the speakers of this year’s event in Dallas, but Orbán is not among them yet.
Government: connection of diaspora Hungarians with country has grown stronger
Thanks to government efforts, Hungarians living abroad have a stronger connection to the motherland now than they did before 2010, an official of the prime minister’s office said on Monday, addressing a training programme for teachers working in diaspora communities.
Deputy State Secretary Péter Szilágyi told the event held in Győr, in northwestern Hungary, that some 2.5 million Hungarians lived in diasporas worldwide. Including those living in the Carpathian Basin, the number of Hungarians came to 15 million, he added.

In recent years, the state secretariat for Hungarians abroad has launched youth camps, teacher trainings as well as tenders for civil organisations working with Hungarians abroad, Szilágyi said. St Stephen University in Győr is hosting a five-day training programme for teachers of Hungarian literature, grammar and history in weekend schools worldwide. Professionals from Western European countries, Argentina, Australia, Chile and Canada are attending.

CPAC could not have a better example of a Judeo-Christian Pro Nationalist. It is time for the American people to realize that Marxist, leftist policies can only ruin a country.
The locals see it this way…

If the midterm landslide in favor of the gop materializes, this is what our country will be like: a dictatorship on par with Hungary, if not worse. Think about that. Is that what you really want America? Democrats wake up. Viktor Orban is handing you a gift. Do you know what to do with it? If…See more

Orban will explain how to transform a democratic system to a dictatorship and how to ruin the nation’s currency and economy while getting his cronies rich.
Explosive – for the state Hungary finds it-self – this Ruinous time, in its history – through the DAMAGE continuos being caused, by its present Government, under Prime Minister – Victor Orban.
Division, separation – just continuos widening of RELATIONSHIP with the European Union – which is literally quite a perilous path that Hungary has embarked upon.
Those that may THINK this will heal already European & Global relationships that have been fractured & destroyed, by the present Government of Hungary under Prime Minister – Victor Orban – excluding the Factual friendships Hungary enjoys with Russia & China – will be grossly proven WRONG.
Hungary – the Economic & Financial immediate outlook – the devaluation of forint, rising interest rates, evidence of a declining loss of life quality throughout citizens – that is subjecting citizens to “sky-rocketing Inflation – cost of living “explosion” – not forgetting “other” examples of FACT, that clearly highlight, that Hungary is in a Disaster zone, that will witness further decline in the hardship on citizens that they are atpresent, for many months been enduring.
What thinking process – is going on – in the minds and heads of the Hungarian citizens ???
Democracy – is Dialogue.
Democracy – has NO place – for acts and actions – that are of a DICTATORIAL motion or implementation in style.
Hungary – the on-going evidance witnessed arising out of the present Government of Hungary under Prime Minister – Victor Orban, the DICTATORIAL style of Government, continues to dominate – the image and actions – of the present Hungarian Government.
What is the thinking process of Hungarians – for the FUTURE of Hungary ???
@mariavontheresa – you should read Hegel’s “The Philosophy of History”. Believe you’d find it more than interesting! #historyrepeats
Hungary has survived over 1000 years and will survive in spite of globalists, Marxists Europe, and the Biden Administration.
It seems to me that someone here is very anti-EU, anti-Marxism, anti-Democrat. So, what’s left? A Trump-style authoritarian Republicanism? The very far-right?
@via Janos: It’s interesting to note that some Americans ALREADY see PM. V.O. as a dictator, and where there are “some”, surely there are more.
No, not quite a fully-fledged dictator yet (my opinion), but given time (and if the people allow it), it might very well happen.
Have to admit that, that comment about Erdoğan and Lukashenko made me chuckle. 😀
