Orbán’s Challenge to Uphold Christian Democracy

Those wishing to see a fully secularised European Union and who seek to ultimately undermine religion cannot help but tremble now that Hungarians overwhelmingly gave Viktor Orbán a mandate to safeguard and promote Christian democracy.

The Hungarian Chieftain

‘Sooner or later…Orbán will no longer be the Hungarian chieftain…It occurred to me that if the Hungarian people choose to forsake the faith embraced by King Saint Stephen…and instead permit themselves to be dissolved into the post-Christian cultural mongrelization represented by the godless, nationless EU, the tragedy will not be Viktor Orbán’s, but their own.’

A Presidential Race Plagued by Controversy

‘For the Hungarian minority in Romania, Dan’s victory represents a clear political win—particularly given the decisive role the community played in securing it…His proposal to include the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR) in the governing coalition has further reinforced a sense of security among Hungarian voters.’

The Sovereigntist Zeitgeist

‘How does Hungary manage to stay on good terms with both Washington and Beijing, despite their growing rivalry?…Many observers explain this dual alignment as mere pragmatism—ideological kinship with the American right, economic opportunism with China. But that tells only part of the story.’

Hungary, Trump, and the Rule of Law

‘There is a historic chance for US–Hungary relations to peak, and it depends in no small part on the two leading players. Even though Hungary is a member of the EU and NATO, in the last two decades, American Democratic administrations have been explicitly hostile towards it…With the US president behind him, Orbán could be much more effective in strengthening his conservative agenda in Brussels, which until now has been an uphill struggle.’

#HU24EU: A Historic Presidency

‘Numbers [during the Hungarian EU presidency] represent more than just achievements—they tell the story of a presidency determined to meet the expectations of Europe’s people and shape a better tomorrow for the continent, or as our motto puts it: Make Europe Great Again.’
