CPAC Hungary 2025, one of the biggest gatherings of conservative statesmen, thinkers, and influencers in the world each year, continued with Day 2 at the Budapest Congress Center on Friday, 30 May.
This day kicked off with a speech by Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó of Hungary. He started by describing the year 2025 as ‘a watershed year’. ‘Until now, we were playing defence, but it’s now time to go on offence,’ he proclaimed confidently. As he explained, the election victory of President Donald Trump in the United States last year is what brought about this fortunate change in circumstances.
Under President Trump, USAID, one of the chief operators behind the globalist propaganda machine, has been successfully dismantled, the Minister reminded all. However, he also warned that the same nefarious actors are now relocating to Brussels, Belgium from their former headquarters in Washington, DC.
Still, under more favourable conditions, the conservative government in Hungary can go on the offensive, he reiterated—particularly in areas such as stopping mass migration, removing foreign funding from Hungarian media and civil organizations, and shielding children from modern gender propaganda.
Alice Wiedel of AfD Speaks at CPAC Hungary 2025
Next up, we had one of the most anticipated speeches of the event by the leader of the German AfD party Alice Wiedel.
She started by relaying the well-wishes of ‘the freedom-loving people of Germany’ to the attendees of the event. Then, she went on to describe her political party as ‘the leading patriotic party in Germany’ that ‘the establishment fears like no other party’.
Wiedel told the audience that under the current establishment leadership, the quality of life for Germans has deteriorated, while the country has become a ‘danger zone’, referring to the increased crime rate mainly due to mass migration.
She also accused Chancellor Friedrich Merz of Germany and his CDU party of ‘copy-pasting the campaign promises of AfD’ in the lead-up to the election in February, then immediately abandoning those promises once they got in power. In more accusations, Wiedel also told the audience that the current German administration is trying to manipulate the country’s constitution in an effort to get her party banned, thus taking away the voice of the over 10 million people who had voted for her party in the last election.
What’s more, the speaker also believes that federal intelligence agencies in her country are more interested in spying on the opposition than actually preventing terrorist attacks.
However, as she pointed out, she now has some powerful allies in her fight for free speech. US Vice President JD Vance had spoken out against the censorship in Germany at the Munich Security Conference earlier this year, for which Wiedel expressed her gratitude. She also thanked Prime Minister Orbán of Hungary for organizing and inviting her to CPAC Hungary 2025. She then ended her speech the same way PM Orbán ended his the day before: by calling on us all to ‘make Europe great again’.
