“The High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs says that a large-scale European war is not a fantasy, and the Poles are already saying that there is no diplomatic solution to the war,” the Prime Minister noted on the program, adding that “Europe is playing with fire, we are on the frontier between peace and war.” As Hirado.hu reports, the Prime Minister recalled that once in 1999, our country managed to stay out of war, when an attempt was made to involve us in the southern Slavic conflict against the Serbs, which would have ruined Serbian-Hungarian relations and the...

Viktor Orbán’s meeting with U.S. presidential hopeful Donald Trump continues to reverberate with the Biden Administration in a sign that the Hungarian Prime Minister’s endorsement of the Republican nominee has a considerable weight in American politics. During a press conference yesterday, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan refused to retract President Joe Biden’s to date unsubstantiated claims that the Hungarian Prime Minister ‘wants a dictatorship.’ Sullivan stopped short of saying that President Biden believes that Hungary is a dictatorship, at the same time he also asserted Joe Biden’s earlier remarks saying, “Of course the president stands by his statement. And I...

The Jerusalem Post reported on Monday that the nation of Hungary, on two occasions, blocked attempts by the European Union to make a consensus statement against the anticipated Israeli military operation against Hamas in the southern Gaza town of Rafah, where the bulk of Hamas terrorists are thought to be concentrated.EU’s Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell reportedly tried to unite all 27 member states behind a statement calling for an “immediate humanitarian pause” in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, a move that Israel argues would allow Hamas to regroup and rearm its terrorist elements.According to the report, Borell eventually succeeded...

Former President Donald J. Trump is the only man who can end the war in Ukraine and “save the Western world” from being plunged into World War III, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told Tucker Carlson.In an interview with Carlson in Budapest, Viktor Orbán said that his ideal solution to the war in Ukraine — a nation that borders his own — would be to bring about a peace settlement immediately, but he said that this would likely only be possible with Donald Trump back in the White House.“Trump is the man who can save the Western world and probably...

In November the EU proposed to give impoverished Ukraine — with over 80% of its nation without electricity, among other necessities — $18.6 billion in critical humanitarian aid, including support for energy and healthcare facilities.But Hungary has vetoed the transfer of the critical aid package.Budapest has stood out as the only member of the 27 country organization to block the EU package, with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban having effective veto power because EU budget rules require the unanimous approval of all 27 member countries.American and European officials have been noting Orban's "persistent pattern" of obstructionism in aid to Ukraine,...

I'm writing from Budapest, the beautiful, Danube-bestriding Hungarian capital. Hungary, though a faraway land and modest in both size and population, has played an outsize role in the American conservative conscience for the past half-decade or so. After just a few days, it is not difficult to understand why. Hungary, under Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his ruling Fidesz party, is a real-life experiment in government under a framework of "national conservatism." Lessons for American conservatives are clear and legion. Western media typically covers Orban in hysterical fashion, accusing him of autocracy, crypto-fascism or outright thuggery. It is difficult to...

For decades, those inclined toward free markets have focused on authoritarianism coming from the political left. We have spared no energy denouncing and opposing it. We've rightfully been concerned about the push to centralize more power in the hands of federal governments and to increase the scope and size of all government. We have warned that these policies, pursued consistently, pave what the great F.A. Hayek called "the road to serfdom." This fight should continue. However, it's time to be equally harsh toward those on the Right who want to use state power to control individuals' choices and destroy those...

BUDAPEST, Hungary, November 26, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) ― The Prime Minister of Hungary believes that the Christians who are being protected from persecution today may save Europe tomorrow. Victor Orbán, 56, gave a speech today in Budapest at the second International Conference on Christian Persecution. According to Edward Pentin of the National Catholic Register, Orbán stated: “I’m convinced that in order to save Europe, those who could provide us with the biggest help are those whom we’re helping right now. We’re sowing a seed, giving the persecuted what they need and getting back from them the Christian faith, love, and persistence.”...

Preparations are underway for the grand opening of the new United States embassy to Israel in Jerusalem. While the President won’t be able to attend as he prepares for his summit with North Korea, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump have arrived to do the honors along with a number of other delegates. But not everyone is quite so thrilled with this development, particularly in some parts of the European Union. They were preparing to put forward a resolution condemning the embassy move, delivering a statement which was explicitly designed to “embarrass and isolate the Trump administration” ahead of the ceremony....

The ongoing battle between Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orban and American billionaire George Soros is heating up even further. Never particularly popular with the Hungarian government, Soros has been spreading around his wealth in that nation through various NGOs in an effort to promote liberal policies and candidates, as well as pushing for open borders and greater migrant resettlement. Now the legislature has brought forward a new bill which has been none too subtly dubbed, “Stop Soros.” The implications for not only Soros but other foreign actors in the country could be quite serious indeed. Hungary’s nationalist government outlined legislation...

In case you were hoping that the European Union (EU) might find a way to patch up the recent differences between their original, western European members and the newer arrivals from the old Eastern Bloc nations, particularly on matters such as immigration, well… you should probably lower your expectations. There’s been an ongoing tiff between some on the left, particularly Angela Merkel, and the eastern states as to how they should regard the flood of primarily Muslim, Syrian migrants seeking passage to Europe. Merkel has maintained that they will add new flavor and culture to Europe’s nations and should be...

Hungary would not allow Brussels to “place itself above the law”.Orbán described the European Union’s refugee policy as one that would first decide...
