‘In sum, the report reflects the political views and values of the EU elite and can be seen as a tool to turn a problem into a crisis—an ‘existential challenge’—to justify the extension of EU powers at the expense of national sovereignty and decision-making.’
On Wednesday Viktor Orbán presented the priorities of the Hungarian EU Presidency to the plenary in Strasbourg; however, instead of addressing the pressing challenges facing Europe, MEPs—led by Ursula von der Leyen—seized the opportunity to launch a personal political attack on the Hungarian Prime Minister, demonstrating that the left-wing majority does not allow for a professional debate.
In 1989 scouting became again legally permitted in Hungary. Consequently, the émigré Hungarian Scout Association changed its name to the current one: Hungarian Scout Association in Exteris. Nowadays it comprises more than 70 troops on four continents, in 14 countries, organized into five districts (Western Europe, South America, USA, Australia and Canada), with a total of 2,950 members.
‘What can the modern conservative politician do in the face of such a Leviathan, which he did not create? He has two choices: either he retires and no longer wants to be in politics, or he tries to ride this sea serpent, he tries to use the power of the monster to ‘‘take’’ society in a direction that is contrary to the direction of the alleged progress.’
Despite winning in a landslide in 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson decided not to seek reelection in 1968.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán conducted an intensive, nearly two-hour-long international press conference in Strasbourg on Tuesday, outlining the priorities of the Hungarian EU Presidency.

Ilaria Salis, the antifa attacker-turned-MEP, is also scheduled to speak tomorrow at the plenary session of the European Parliament, where Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán will present the programme of the Hungarian Presidency.

‘South Korea can offer valuable expertise and alternatives to Hungary in terms of military modernization and strengthening security infrastructure in a more strategic manner,’ Heritage Foundation Research Fellow Anthony B. Kim told Hungarian Conservative on the sidelines of a Budapest conference organized to mark 35 years of Hungary–South Korea diplomatic relations.
‘When Hungarians see emissaries from the imperial city on the Potomac expressing “concerns” about Hungarian policies, they should know that the U.S. ruling class is also “concerned” about ordinary Americans who don’t shut up and obey Washington diktats. That is cold comfort, but at least we patriotic conservatives, both Hungarian and American, are in the struggle together.’
‘In 2007, the combined economy of the six European nations in our example was more than ten times larger than that of the six Asian countries. Over the past 17 years, these Asian countries have grown by over 300 per cent—tripling in size—while Europe’s leading economies expanded by just 19 per cent. This means that the more than tenfold difference in 2007 has shrunk to just over four times (4.17).’
