At a major rally in the city of Kecskemét on Saturday, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán declared that Hungary’s 2026 general election will be the country’s final vote before a looming war reaches Europe.
Does Viktor Orbán know something we do not?
Speaking at an anti-war gathering organised by the Digitális Polgári Körök (Digital Civic Circles) civic network, he argued that the outcome of the election would determine whether Hungary could stay out of a conflict he believes is drawing closer.
Viktor Orbán told supporters that the government elected in 2026 would be responsible for protecting the country and “rescuing Hungary from a war danger that is very likely approaching us.” He framed the vote as a pivotal decision point: a pro-Brussels government, he warned, would “drag Hungary into the war”, while a national-minded cabinet would still have a “chance to stay out of it”.
The opposition isn’t resting either
The Kecskemét event formed part of a wider political showdown taking place in the city, which has increasingly become a key battleground ahead of the next elections. While the prime minister addressed his supporters at the anti-war rally, the rival Tisza Party, led by Péter Magyar, held its own forum elsewhere in the city, continuing its national tour, writes HVG.
According to Hungarian press coverage, the ruling party’s event—meticulously choreographed as a large-scale political show—was briefly disrupted at the entrance by two activists from the satirical Two-Tailed Dog Party (Magyar Kétfarkú Kutya Párt), who unfurled a provocative banner.
Inside, a well-known line-up of pro-government media personalities and influencers took to the stage, while former president Pál Schmitt and his wife were seated among the guests.
War on every front
In his speech, the prime minister insisted that the threat of war is not only geographical but also political. He claimed that European leaders have already decided the continent must prepare for conflict, stating that the EU expects to be ready for a potential confrontation with Russia by 2030.
“It is no coincidence that we hold anti-war rallies,” he said, urging Hungarians to draw lessons from history and strengthen the nation economically and morally.
PM Viktor Orbán also commented on the current sanctions regime against Russia, expressing hope that a future U.S.–Russia agreement could eventually reintegrate Moscow into the global economy and overturn existing restrictions. He argued this was why his government maintains communication with both Washington and Moscow.
As Hungary moves closer to the 2026 elections, the prime minister’s message suggests that foreign policy and the question of war or peace will remain central themes of the Fidesz campaign.
Unfortunately, he’s right. Did you hear a single European “leader” mention a desire for peace, even by making unreasonable demands from Putin? Not one. They want the war to escalate. They want depopulation, abolition of private property, brain chips, digital currency, digital identity; in a word, total control.
Call it a “conspiracy theory,” even though the W.E.F. is on record on every single point, but never say you’ve not been warned.
Thats why you support the 1956 repression, right?
Why is it so hqrd to understsnd that in 1956 the Ukrainians sat in the “Russian” tanks?
1956 was a Hungarian Sovijet conflitc. And the Ukrainians are just as Sovijet as the Russians.
In fact ghe army invading Hungary was the 2nd Ukrainian army.
So why would we support Russia, if we don’t care, when “Russians”‘ kill other “Russians”?
Ukrainians did not have any choice, just like Hungary during the WW1, capiche?
I would suggest that Orban and Hungarians get to know what was signed when Hungary joined NATO and specifically Article 5. NATO’s Article 5 is the core principle of collective defense, stating that an armed attack against one member in Europe or North America is considered an attack against all, OBLIGATING OTHER MEMBERS TO ASSIST, potentially WITH ARMED FORCE, to restore security. The problem with Fidesz is that the only loyalty or obligation they have is to themselves. They take but don’t give. It is by definition a parasitic organization. No one in Europe can trust Orban or his government or in any way rely on it. They really have completely succumed to Russian subversion.
“Potentially” with armed forces.
And if we don’t want to, we can buy them a protein bar, and thus “supported their war efforts”.
By the way, article 5 is in case of a defensive war, and Western Europe looks more the agressor. Russia isn’t agitating to fight Europe. EU does. Russia isn’t preparing for war against the EU, the EU does. Russia isn’t waging economicak war on Europe, Europe does.
Whichever way you look at it, the West is the aggressor in EU-Russia relations.
It makes no sense, all pro Russians blame “collective west” in.agressing but Russia invaded Ukraine not EU, Europe just wants to finish it on normal conditions not as a capitulation as russia does not deserve it.
Every day russian propaganda keeps treating to erase Longdon, paris, Berlin etc. U call Europe an aggression but Noone really needs to invade russia, wht for ? Not a single.wealthy European will go to die in cold treanches its 21st century dude
The TREASONOUS EU GLOBALIST SCUM in Brussels are delusional. I mean who is going to fight for them?! White European man have been told for decades that they are useless and that they should quietly tolerate their own replacement by the millions of useless, rapist, murdering turd-world scum that are deliberately allowed to flood into White Nations! And at the same time, these unelected perverted EU bureaucrats expect these same White man to die for them against their own White Brothers in Russia!!! These TRAITORS in the EU are utterly delusional, they have completely lost touch with reality! They are the ones who should be rounded up and sent off to be cannon-fodder for the Russians!!!
“Does Viktor Orbán know something we do not?”
A few months before this war began he warned us it was coming, though that w2arning was not quite so explicit as this.
If a war is coming it bis the result of the old Liberal System of The Western Elite attempting to reassert the control it is losing.
They will not succeed – for numerous reasons, but, for one above all – they no longer control the media.
For more on this whole subject, pick a book by Drabik Jánós and read…
Warmonger – is Victor Mihaly. Orban.
The bizarre end point of the logic of “Orban’s experience” as a qualification of continued rule means he should rule forever. Every dictator the world over will use that logic if people like those posting here are complete fools to accept it. Length of time in office is a well known factor for greater corruption and Hungary has achieved the title of most corrupt EU country. Does anyone here understand what democracy is about? It involves occasional changes in government. Not permanent rule.
Dictators don’t argue.
And don’t have free elections.
And dictators aren’t kept in power, only because their opponent is so idiotic, that he can’t understand that a man is not a woman, migration is a threat, nuclear is the best power source, Russian energy is cheap and reliable, so it’s the best, and that agitating against Russia is risking extinction for benefit.
* for no benefit.
If Orbán wants peace in Ukraine surely he and the Foreign Minister have been asking their friend Putin to retreat back to pre Crimea lines or at least 2022?
If not, why not vs ‘dog whistling’ the EU et al?
The only support for Orbán’s peace in Ukraine are his Fidesz base, but even the oldies cannot ignore the same issues as ’56, allegations of Russian influence, local inequalities and high level corruption?
Used to be just youth and younger working age, like in Ukraine, who prefer to be part of the west, liberal democracy and the EU; but they are not alone.
If Fidesz had any integrity it would state what it wants for the future (eg. leave the EU & closer to Russia, Turkey etc.), but majority of Hungarians including middle aged and older know something’s up and ‘which side their bread is buttered on’?
Further, the naivety of the Fidesz leadership not understanding consequences of their actions and what a ‘use by date’ is, but like peers elsewhere innless developed democracies, they have limited their post political prospects in Hungary and Europe?
Just as Orbán could ask Rusdia to capitulate, what you wrote, he could just as well ask Ukrain to capitulate.
Now, I know, you are screaming, because your owner would need to stop money loundering through Ukrain, and that is evil to stop, while making Russia capitulate is the “ultimate good, bringing about utopia”, but what if, you aren’t fully objective here?
Just a thouht.
The greatest threat is always that those who have uber wealth participate in war behind the scenes for more wealth…and since they are already so distant from average citizens who seem like peasants to be put down to most of them, the death toll is irrelevant to such persons.
And yes, there are many who are manipulating ignorant or lazy citizens to not follow what is happening in the wider world (I am shocked when I hear businesses are still denying biological science w. relation to what is a woman, and what are her rights in sprot, workplaces, relationships….) and so the listed things above are coming to fruition…digital everything is going to be controlled by AI…no emotion, no moral ethics, no situational understanding….only control, power and money.
TLDR … The lack of unified institutions in the 19th and early 20th centuries contributed to recurring wars in Europe.
And, no, appeasement did not deter the aggressor – see the Anschluss of Austria (1938 – muted reaction – Crimea-like) and the Munich Agreement (1938 – “Peace for our Time!”). I can see our Politicians proclaiming something similar to Mr. Chamberlain…
The EU and NATO were created to provide the cooperation and security needed to prevent such conflicts in the future”Before the EU and NATO, Europe relied on shifting alliances and treaties to maintain a balance of power. This system was unstable and often failed to prevent wars, as seen before World War I. There were no unified institutions to resolve disputes or enforce peace, so conflicts frequently escalated.
After World War II, the devastation led to the creation of new institutions: the United Nations (1945), NATO (1949), and the European Economic Community (1957, later the EU). These organizations aimed to foster cooperation, prevent conflict, and maintain stability in Europe.
Dear Hungarians, how much longer will you tolerate this fat, fat dictator???
