A first reaction to PM Orbán’s State of the Nation address
February 15th, 2022A pro-government commentator agrees with the Prime Minister that the victory of the Left in the April election would bring Hungary back to globalist pro-Brussels policies and would be devastating for Hungary.
On Saturday in his State of the Nation speech, Prime Minister Orbán called the April election an existential ballot. The opposition, he said, would return former PMs Ferenc Gyurcsány and Gordon Bajnai to power. Prime Minister Orbán accused the previous left-wing and liberal governments of corruption and neglecting the national interest. He went on to claim that since 2010, the Fidesz government has increased welfare and boosted the economy. Prime Minister Orbán also criticized the European Union for embracing globalist ideology and accused it of waging a ‘rule of law jihad’ against Hungary.
Magyar Nemzet’s Zsolt Bayer agrees with the Prime Minister that the stakes are extremely high in the April election. The pro-government pundit also believes that if the opposition wins, Ferenc Gyurcsány will return and will try to replace Hungary and its national community with a United States of Europe. Bayer calls on Fidesz voters to do whatever they can to defeat the opposition parties, including gathering recommendations for candidates of small independent parties to help them get on the ballots.
