Orbán has spent the past several days in the United States, where he attended the American football world championship. His return comes as Fidesz prepares for an important party leadership meeting in Budapest.
Return amid important happenings in Hungarian politics
Viktor Orbán’s arrival is expected ahead of a Fidesz presidency meeting that will address the appointment of a new parliamentary group leader following Gergely Gulyás’ resignation from the post earlier this month.
Fidesz communications director Bertalan Havasi confirmed on Tuesday that Orbán had already returned to Budapest and was working, adding that details of the party leadership meeting and its decisions would be announced “at the appropriate time.”
Havasi did not comment on the details of Orbán’s travel arrangements or his programme in the United States, stating previously that he could only provide information about the Fidesz president’s official engagements.
The party meeting was originally scheduled for 22 July before being brought forward by one day. Following the meeting, Orbán is expected to deliver his traditional speech in Băile Tușnad (Tusnádfürdő) on 25 July.
Viktor Orbán was recently spotted watching the World Cup semi-final in Dallas with family members.
US visit drew public attention
Orbán departed for the United States on 13 July, also travelling through Frankfurt Airport, where he was seen by journalists before boarding his outbound Lufthansa flight.
During his visit, he appeared among spectators at the Spain-France World Cup semi-final and was briefly visible in the background of a livestream by American influencer IShowSpeed. According to Hungarian media reports, Orbán attended the match with his son, Gáspár Orbán, and his son-in-law.
Although he was abroad, Orbán continued commenting on domestic political developments through social media. His return follows several significant changes in Hungary’s political landscape, including the resignation of Gergely Gulyás as Fidesz parliamentary group leader and ongoing discussions surrounding recent constitutional amendments.

All that money he stall and still he had to take economy seat 😂😂😂😂
Mészáros couldn’t pick him up with his private jets
Mihaly Varga, the current Governor of the Central Bank of Hungary, who under the Prime Ministership of Victor Mihaly. Orban not forgetting Mihaly Varga was another “founding” Father of the Fidesz Political Party muchly an “inner-sanctum” individual of which he remains, of the Orban regime, along with Szijjarto Peter & Gergely Guylas – all “in bed” and Gofers – to the Fidesz Oligarchy – with the “ill-fated” Victor Mihaly. Orban.
Mihaly Vargas appointment WRONGFULLY the cataclysmic DISASTER he was – as the Minister of Finance 2013-2024 for our country Hungary – the MESS of principally his creation over the course of (11) eleven years, besides his impact & input “played” in the (20) twenty years Orban/Fidesz “ruled” Hungary in the economic and financial direction and policies undertaken practiced in Hungary.
Mihaly Varga muchly played the principle ARCHITECT over the (20) twenty years in economic and financial policy making decisions and directions under the Prime Minister of Hungary – Victor Mihaly. Orban.
Mihaly Varga – just look at 2024 – the balance sheet of Hungary – when he was WRONGFULLY appointed to the position as the current Governor of the Reserve Bank of Hungary – the gargantuan MESS of his creation as Minister of Finance – after (11) eleven years in this position = APPALLING.
Mihaly Varga – his on-going “behind the scenes” – ADULATION of Victor Mihaly. Orban – he must “fall on his sword”.
Victor Mihaly. Orban – the “whisper” in the largish ears of Mihaly Varga in 2024 that post his term as the Governor of the Central Bank of Hungary – the position as the next President of Hungary – awaits you.
The resignation of Gergely Guylas as the Fidesz Parliamentary Leader – another of “Adulation” besides “inner-sanctum” of the Orban regime.
Gergely Guylas and our present Prime Minister – Peter Magyar a LOT of history between these (2) two commenced in there Law student days “of study” at the same time and at the same University – Pazmany Peter, Catholic University in Budapest.
Gergely Guylas – what GREAT theatre it was, we have seen in recent months “confronted” somewhat “face to face” – walking across the floor of Parliament by our Prime Minister – Peter Magyar – challenging him to talk TRUTH Truth and not as he is of HISTORY speak in and with Fabrication of Truth.
Gergely Guylas – born with a “silver spoon in its mouth” his elevation in-side Fidesz through his Fathers influences in the Legal fraternity and “other” in Hungary, being a member and “major” sponsor of the Fidesz Political Party – that Gergely Guylas received “golden glove” treatments to be of his final appointed position that of Minister of the Prime Ministers Office.
There could be but just one winner – if the some-what “spine-less” individual that is Gergely Guylas had remained as the Fidesz Parliamentary Leader.
Peter Magyar – had – or has – an “over-flow” of “knowledge of facts” in relation to Gergely Guylas that his position was UNTENABLE.
Mihaly Varga, should be REMOVED in the “Purge” – the policy that is being effected by our new Tisza Government under Prime Minister – Peter Magyar – under the Mandatory Investigatory Dismantling – process being RIGHTFULLY as I commentate on and through ALL Governments Departments.
He couldn’t but NOTHING would surprise me, and of course through his ADULATION as a “fellow” founding Father of the Fidesz Political Party – and always a “Gofer” – inner sanctum and “in bed” through his FAVOURS, the abuse of his position, as the former Minister of Finance of Hungary, under the Prime Ministership of the “heinous” – Victor Mihaly. Orban – now in the postion as the Governor of the Central Bank of Hungary – wonder if Victor Mihaly. Orban would tell his “Mate” – Mihaly Varga – his “lap dog” – yes man – resign from your Governorship position and, it will be in your FINANCIAL and “other” interest(s) – become, replacing Gergely Guylas as the Fidesz Parliamentary Leader.
Mihaly Varga factually his current position as the Governor of the Central Bank of Hungary is UNTENABLE.
Mihaly Varga – his LEGACY to million upon millions of Hungarians at the time he was in 2024 after (11) eleven “in-glorious” and “ill-fated” years as our DISASTER of a Minister of Finance – leaving (2) two million Hungarians, in a declining and ageing population of Hungary – 9.4 near million citizens, living in POVERTY and our overall economic and financial position, as a country in a DEEPENING “nadir”.
Mihaly Varga deserving never to be APPEASED for he STOLE from us, over the (20) twenty plus years as a POWERBROKER “inner sanctum” member of the Victor Mihaly. Orban led Fidesz Party / Government of Hungary.
‘Now, this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end.
But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.’
Mandatory Investigatory Dismantling – an “incorporation” of a RIGHT – under DEMOCRACY – the citizens of Hungary in our millions, the Seeking of Justice.
