An article by Balázs Orbán has raised concerns about potential external influence on Hungary’s upcoming elections, focusing on the role of EU digital regulation and international actors.
Finnish President Alexander Stubb has joined a growing number of European leaders calling for renewed dialogue with Russia, signalling a potential shift in the EU’s stance on the war in Ukraine. His remarks follow similar statements from Belgium and echo positions long advocated by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
‘According to the report under the (in force) EU regulation, media platforms are required to identify and “mitigate” systemic risks. That is, not only illegal speech…is moderated online, but speech that the European Commission and its network of civil society actors deem to pose a “systemic risk”.’
The European Commission has asked Ukraine to provide a timeline for restarting the Druzhba oil pipeline, as Brussels also considers a full ban on Russian oil imports.
Former Hungarian president János Áder said the risk of war in Europe is higher today than two years ago, criticizing European Union leaders for what he described as increasingly confrontational rhetoric toward Russia.
Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever has broken with the dominant Brussels narrative on Ukraine, urging Europe to negotiate with Russia and restore access to cheap Russian energy. His remarks echo the long-standing position of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and highlight a growing divide in Europe between ideological war rhetoric and leaders increasingly acknowledging economic reality.
‘By the end of 2025, it was evident that Hungary and Slovakia were not the only EU member states still importing Russian energy…While these flows are expected to change from 2026 onward as new restrictions take effect, the present reality is clear: Russian energy has not disappeared from Europe, it has merely been redistributed.’
‘We really think the merit-based approach is the optimal one in the accession process. That’s the one that should be followed because it allows the country to reform, to stabilize, to democratize, to Europeanize, and to accept a very broad and complex European key,’ Chief Negotiator for Montenegro with the European Union Predrag Zenović told our site.
In a controversial ruling, the Court of Justice of the European Union declared that national laws refusing changes to gender markers in official documents may violate EU freedom of movement rights. The judgment is yet another example of how Brussels increasingly uses judicial activism to impose ideological policies on member states, creating another flashpoint between the EU and sovereignist governments.
The United States has temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian oil shipments already loaded onto tankers in an effort to stabilize global energy markets shaken by the war in Iran. Welcoming the move, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó urged Brussels to follow Washington’s example and suspend EU sanctions on Russian energy to curb soaring prices in Europe.
At a time when public debate is increasingly polarized and superficial, Hungarian Conservative remains committed to depth and independent thought.
