Guest post by an expat Hungarian on yesterday’s election defeat of Viktor Orban

This was taken from the comments this morning verbatim.

Thank you very much Johnny U:

 

I dont like Mondays. Someone should have written a song.

The true test of what it means to be Hungarian now begins. The enemy did not have to knock at the door because he was already inside. This is an enemy not seen in the country’s thousand-plus year history. The tragic, poetic irony of the new Prime Minister’s name is hardly lost. Just for fun, here is the Wikipedia list of wars fought by Hungary since it began:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Hungary

This sad little patch of land with these sad, strange little people have made a very bad decision. Unsurprisingly, it was by all accounts the urban, younger, more educated, more ‘sophisticated’ voter who made this choice.

My own son called it weeks if not months ago. Young Hungarians whom he chats with on-line had no appetite for the stodgy old guard.

The problem is, counter-revolution requires a properly-educated population. It must understand where it stands. Where the ground is constantly moving, such as in the West, it becomes near impossible to stand and fight. This is, of course, by design. What do I mean by this slippery metaphor? Try explaining dialectical warfare to 40-million Canadians and get back to me. To this point I repost Vlad’s recent and most succinct summary of this:

“Today walking through a Quebec swamp a thought came suddenly.

We as humans communicate mostly via conventions.

In other words, we decide what a word means by what we, as a culture want it to mean, then fix the term as a convention via a dictionary or other means so we can express what we want to each other and be understood. It’s a group process more or less but based on what we want expressions, words, concepts and taxonomy to mean.

Dialectics is the imposition of meaning on existing terms for a political outcome which is destructive to what we all consider meaning. It is a complete hijacking of Meaning.

This also applies to taxonomy. The most underrated aspect of epistemology. Of how we see ourselves. Of how we understand the world, via categories. Via labels.

Dialectical taxonomy is what forces us to change everything we think about sexuality and accept political sexuality such as the Trans-movement.

This deserves a proper essay. But I just want to get the thought out there.

Imposing, forcing meaning on us. Changing terms to mean what a group of tyrants want us to think they mean as opposed to what they do.

Making words mean something other than what we meant them to mean, then banning or criminalizing them, even though they were good, useful terms that helped hold our culture together.

Attacking us for using perfectly good words with important meanings, then telling us what we meant by what we said, then cancelling us for it in the pre-revolutionary stage, and now in the UK outright arrest you now that the revolution is all but complete.

That is dialectics.”

Brussels’ loving embrace of Hungary will satisfy, temporarily, the young voters’ yearning for acceptance from richer, hipper, cooler Western Europe. Slowly, then, will come the dawning that the embrace is a strangulation. Red heads will flee, black heads will flush in, and the test begins.

The outstanding question is: will young Hungarians know what they see, like their parents, or will they see what they ‘know’, as Brussels commands via mentaciding language trickery.

It won’t take long for us–from our distant vantage point–to see just how soft-headed that population has become. Hopefully it surprises. Hopefully it rediscovers the savagery in its DNA that helped it survive this long. It will need it. The enemy will try its very best to breed this gene out of the people as quickly as possible, as it has elsewhere.

Orbán, if permitted, will stick around until the next election to see if he can salvage what remains of the motherland. There is, however, the possibility that Brussels will try to find a way to eliminate him. He is too dangerous to their new Soviet. If he is permitted to survive it will support my fantasy.

Speaking of too dangerous, yesterday as I drove through my old neighborhood I saw a man walking a Hungarian Kommondor. This is a dog bred to guard livestock. Look it up. When presented with a wolf it presents its ass. The wolf bites the ass, but the dog’s dreadlocks are so thick the teeth cannot penetrate what amounts to a form of armor. Then the huge Kommonder, strangely flexible, turns its head and grabs the wolf by the throat. I had one when I was a boy. My father named him Ali. Why such a name? I asked. “We gave our dogs Muslim names as an insult to the Turks,” was his reply.

I have a fantasy that this defeat is one of design engineered by Orbán, himself.

Some years ago I remember he said in passing that 2030 would be a very difficult year. I heard him say this only once. I’ve looked for the clip but cannot find it. Why did he say this? I don’t know, but why so specifically mention this year? The only arrow that points it out, publicly, is the UN’s Agenda 30.

In my dream the Orbán team realized that in order to survive a looming existential threat the younger generation required a vaccine. In this case it will be a modicum of the poison injected into Western Europe. Magyar, former team member, is on board to administer the controlled inoculation. Come the 2030 election the next phase of the war begins with a national body strengthened by white blood cells.

But alas this is but a fantasy. –A conspiracy theory you heard here first. Like I said, someone should have written a song. Oh, but they did. Who but the damned Hungarians would write a suicide song? Such a melancholic tribe.

Additional note from the site:

For those that like to earn money betting on international events, now would be a good time to go to Polymarket where you too, not just the political elite and communists can profit by betting on the demise of a great civilization.

Start bets on the increased rate of rape of the local women.

The point at which (temporary) security will need to be put around Jewish institutions. Then no security but still needed.

The point at which Islam will receive special status over Hungarian culture and religion.

The rate of decline of freedom of speech for anyone classically Hungarian or Western.

The rate of demographic shift from the people who built and maintained the Hungarian civilization to people who hate and destroy it.

And while we are observing these changes, remember; Bibi and Trump will not be around forever. At some point they will not be an option, or will lose an election. The same series of bets can take place in Israel and the USA.

We can probably watch NYC to get a sense of how that will play out in the USA for that matter.

I have one question for Tucker Carlson after he assists the utter destruction of Israel at the hands of the enemies of Western civilization.

After you have helped delegitimize Israel and the Trump administration and contributed to the conditions that may lead to their fall, do you believe your criticisms will then be welcomed by the new authorities? Once Israel and very possibly the USA become another Islamic-communist failed state, will the forces you currently platform suddenly tolerate your framing? Or will you simply become an annoyance to be silenced — the informational equivalent of the Night of the Long Knives or Stalin’s Great Purge?The same question applies to the growing attacks on Donald Trump. The transparent use of critical theory tactics — inventing atrocities and flinging accusations untethered from reality — has moved many once seemingly independent voices into the same territory as legacy media.

 

Viktor Orban: WW3 is inevitable, and how Hungary plans to stay out of it

This is longish, but is, as Orban always is, blunt, factual and of great importance in terms of Western geopolitics. The EU is clearly the enemy of nation-states and personal liberty, and while Orban has always talked about the EU as problematic and in need of reform, he takes a different tack in this speech to the Free University in Hungary

Viktor Orban March 15 speech on liberty, the EU, and the Hungarian resistance to empires and tyranny

As is typical of Orban, this is an excellent and important speech. Those who choose to watch it should pay close attention to the nuances. How for instance, to call the EU a communist and authoritarian institution without saying it exactly like that. His plan for the EU is also brilliant. And probably the only one that can work. Also his references to empires who have attacked or attempted to destroy Hungarian nationhood included what he called, “The Empire of the half moon”. One might easily surmise he meant the Crescent Moon based on numerous speeches in the past where Orban takes a clear stand on Islam.

RAIR has a condensation of some of the speech’s main elements here.

But really you need to see it in Orban’s own words.

Special thanks to the translator who took a lot of time and effort to make sure this translation is accurate. Also because the translator is aware of the increasing likelihood of personal damage to those who assist with counter-revolutionary actions in the West, and is therefore anonymous.

Interesting and revealing interview of Viktor Orban and AfD cofounder, Alice Weidel

The following video I expect will have more meaning to people on this site than the general public. Both of the interview subjects, Hungarian PM Viktor Orban and German AfD leader, Alice Weidel give answers to important questions that are razor close to speaking on subjects like the EU in much the way we do at this site, but without calling it a communist project. They pretty clearly describe it as such. Even their point of disagreement on the EU is two people looking at the problem of a communist polity ruining Europe in different ways. Orban says maybe it can be reformed but he doesn’t know, it’s never been tried. One can interpret that as easily as it is un-reformable and the idea of making it a representative organization for European interests is abstract at best.

Gates of Vienna has this written up and so does RAIR. At this desk, we have been so busy on so many projects we haven’t had time to even post this yet, as for one thing, it took the better part of a day just to subtitle it, and that is after several days of the translator actually making sure it was correct.

This was translated from the Hungarian voice over, even though a lot of the video was done in German. It is a very unusual project in that it was conducted in two languages, but the copy we worked with was for a Hungarian audience.

The interview was conducted in Budapest in February of 2025

This one deserves our close attention. The discussions on Trump and other matters are very nuanced and sophisticated, and very interesting.

Viktor Orban and Tucker Carlson: USAID was funding media and Orban’s opposition

Viktor Orban segments from recent conference with focus on how Trump will change European policy “and fast”

Viktor Orban was pretty enthusiastic about Trump’s return.

We took some clips of a conference he did with other EU leaders from the region and had them translated and subtitled. There is his initial speech, and then a Q&A. From what I saw from the rest of them, Orban was the only one worth listening to.

This isn’t the entire session obviously, but its probably the best of it.

In this second interview with Hungarian PM, Viktor Orban, he details more of how NATO is in fact already at war with Russia. This really needs to be understood by us peasants and cannon fodder.

Facebook deletes speech by Viktor Orbán warning of impending war

Social media giant Facebook deleted a video on Sunday of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s speech at the June 1 Peace March, published on its site by state television channel M1, the TV station said in a news release.

This video.

I think it is important that we all know why.

For those who haven’t seen it, here is an Orbán interview from a few days ago for Hungarian TV subtitled in English, with a synopsis at RAIR.

Viktor Orbán: NATO countries appear to be creating a mood for a larger war

If you watch nothing else today, please do watch this. Viktor Orbán has always struck us here at VladTepesBlog as the one adult in the room. This interview is an excellent example of exactly that.

Viktor Orban LIVE as of 10:52 AM ET on the destruction of Western industry by the EU’s ‘Green policy’

In the post linked here are several videos showing the collapse of retail and business in Ukraine due to the war with Russia. This includes a curious lack of men on the streets of Ukrainian cities

(Very annoyingly, this pretends to be live but is actually about a 12 minute speech given by Orban on or around May 14. Looking for the real video now to subtitle and make sure this voice over is correct)

This appears to be a translation of the speech:

Speech by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán at a ceremony marking the handover of the MOL Group’s Polyol Complex

Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen.

I would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone who has been mentioned by the previous speakers. It is a pleasure for us to be here together on this beautiful day. With all due modesty, I can say that, with MOL and with its CEO Zsolt Hernádi, we have developed a good habit: every few years we get together here in Tiszaújváros and inaugurate a new MOL factory. We did so in 2015, three years later in 2018, and now six years later in 2024. I could have come sooner, we could have kept to the three-year schedule, but the pandemic and the war made it difficult for us. Yet we know that as a company MOL is too tough to allow such difficulties to deter it from investing – as is shown by the fact that we are here together today.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

On the previous two occasions – in 2015 and 2018 – I had the honour of welcoming investors from Japan and representatives of the Japanese government. This time I welcome from Germany Ms. Ilse Henne, the representative of thyssenkrupp – and we have to admit that today’s investment would not have been possible without her company’s technological contribution. MOL was right to buy this technology. Our general approach is that when we do something, we should do so at a world-class level. From this point of view, it is a good decision for MOL to invest in development, and not to settle for less than the top Japanese and German technology. This is reassuring, because MOL is Hungary’s largest and most successful company, and we can see that – as they used to say in the army – if they build something, it’s built.

Dear Friends,

The fact is that Hungary – and if we think of Hungarians beyond its borders, the entire Hungarian nation – owes a lot to MOL. I remember that MOL was our bastion in difficult times: when, as communism was starting to fall, the truly obsolete branches of socialist industry were being sold off at knock-down prices in the name of privatisation, MOL remained the only major Hungarian company that was successful even in the most difficult of times. If this had not been the case, Hungary would have suffered far deeper scars during the fall of communism – and again in the 2000s, under the inglorious governance of the Left. 

Ladies and Gentlemen,

MOL and the fate of the Hungarian economy are two pages in the same book: a book that is essentially about how to win the twenty-first century, after having lost the twentieth. MOL is on the same path as the Hungarian economy itself. If you recall, twenty years ago MOL’s field of activity was, we could say, non-diversified: it only traded in oil. MOL had oil fields, but it bought most of its oil, processed it and resold it. And then it became the first company in Hungary to expand into surrounding countries. I am glad that the company was not satisfied with this. From this point of view, Zsolt Hernádi’s role and work as the Chairman and CEO of MOL is unparalleled, since it was under his leadership that MOL began its regional expansion, establishing biogas and biodiesel plants alongside the traditional ones, entering the freight market and, more recently, becoming a key player in waste management. It is like a fun fair shooting gallery: the hardest target to shoot down is the one held up with the most rods. This is how MOL maintains its position. Usually the prizes you can win for this are also the most valuable. No wonder MOL has become Hungary’s most valuable diversified company.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

There is a well-known way for a company to make itself valuable. The experts call it “moving up the production chain”. MOL has performed strongly here too, as it has not only moved up the production chain, but has become a complete production chain itself. Here in Tiszaújváros it has set up a chemicals complex in which the raw materials it produces and processes are converted into finished products, and at the same time it is involved in their transport. Polyol, the compound that will be produced here, is what we laypeople might call the “Swiss Army knife” of plastics production: it is used for everything from the automotive industry to furniture, construction and textiles. We cook with what we have, and we produce what is good for everything. It is as simple as A-B-C, and yet there are few who can do it. MOL has been able to. Congratulations!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

If it is true that MOL is a page in the book of the history of the Hungarian economy, then it is logical to say that what is happening with the Hungarian economy is also happening with MOL. As MOL has acquired more areas of competence, it has moved up the value chains and become more valuable. The same has happened with the Hungarian national economy. We have acquired more areas of competence, we have diversified, we want to move up the production chains, and we want to make Hungary ever more valuable. We call this the Hungarian strategy of connectivity. At the national level, too, we want to reduce our exclusive dependencies. MOL itself is helping us in this – by finding new natural gas and oil deposits in Hungary, for example. We look forward to MOL or its CEO being Hungary’s J.R. Ewing. Good luck in your future prospecting, Mr. Hernádi! The Hungarian economy is diversifying its sources of energy supply, and we have built new energy transit routes. We are sourcing natural gas from Qatar, we will buy green electricity from Azerbaijan, we are increasing our solar energy capacity, and we are building a new nuclear power plant to make us less vulnerable to world market developments that are independent of us. We will also need a lot of energy, because by 2030 we plan to increase the country’s electricity demand by 50 per cent.

In a nutshell, this will be because we are bringing the most advanced industries into Hungary. We have set out to make Hungary a meeting point between Eastern raw materials and resources and Western technology and know-how. We will have Western and Eastern car factories, and we will have the technology and manufacturing capacity to store green energy. We will participate in space research, we will link Hungary to state-of-the-art information technology networks, we will build the most modern European military industry, and we will improve our position in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. There are those who are sceptical and say that there will not be enough energy and workers to do this; but I am one of those who are convinced that Hungarian industrial policy will be able to provide industry with sufficient energy and well-trained workers. In this respect your example is encouraging, because we are now handing over a factory where, as far as I can see, around three hundred skilled Hungarian workers will be employed. These Hungarians are getting better jobs, and this factory is a good example of this: three hundred new jobs with high added value that are competitive in the long term will mean a secure, predictable future for three hundred people.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

An important element of Hungary’s industrial strategy is that we use state support to encourage Hungarian companies to enter foreign markets. We have grown so much, Hungarian industry has grown so much, that it has outgrown Hungary itself. We should not be jostling for position here, but finding new industries and new areas, investing abroad, and bringing profits home from abroad. All this should be done in order to offset the profits exported by the multinationals that produce in Hungary, and to restore the balance of capital in the Hungarian economy. This will not happen tomorrow, but in a few years’ time. This is why we plan to create and support five thousand new SMEs in addition to the existing twelve thousand companies that are currently operating abroad or are able to ship abroad, enabling them to step up to this level. We will announce a programme for this soon. The Hungarian industrial strategy, Ladies and Gentlemen, is a good plan, and MOL has an important role to play in it. This Hungarian industrial strategy, like MOL, is enterprising and, indeed, highly ambitious. It is enterprising and highly ambitious, but it has its two feet on the ground. We have good reasons to ensure this is the case. One of these has already been mentioned by Chairman Hernádi. Today’s European policy does not support industry. Today’s European policy sees industry as dangerous, wants to restrict it and wants to dismantle it – calling this “greening”. But in fact we are losing a lot of industrial capacity in what I believe is a badly designed process of so-called “greening”.

So it is a good thing that we have our two feet on the ground, because at all costs we must change European industrial policy. And then there is another kind of danger; because in fact today the greatest danger is not misguided European industrial policy, but war. We Hungarians know what war means: destruction, the loss of homes, and the devaluation of our money. It is not far away, as we can see Ukraine and we see what is happening there. In a war, there is really no need for furniture, textiles, cars and creative industries, far fewer consumer goods are needed, and we do not even need a food industry providing the wide range of products we are familiar with in peacetime. Because in war, there is only one thing you really need: in war, everyone produces military equipment and ammunition. In war, labour does not go to the factory, but to the front. There is no need for anything except the war industry, there is no one to work in other factories, and consequently there is no purchasing power to keep the economy running. We can see Ukraine: in war, everything goes into decline. In war the economy declines, the country declines and the people themselves decline. And yet in Europe today there are many people who would lead the continent into war, and would drag Hungary into it. This is why, alongside ambitious economic plans, attention and energy must be devoted to restraining, containing and crushing those forces. I therefore encourage everyone here in Tiszaújváros to go and vote in the elections on 9 June. Vote in the election for local leaders, but I also ask you to vote in the European election, because that election will be a decisive factor in the question of war and peace. I urge you to turn out and stand up for peace, to help drive out the Brussels war hawks. This is an essential precondition for continuing the industrial policy construction work we started fourteen years ago, and for making Hungary one of Europe’s most thriving countries.Thank you for your attention. Congratulations to all of you. Congratulations to the designers, the contractors, the financial backers, and the foreign partners. Congratulations to the workers here, the members of the skilled workforce that is always the decisive factor in choosing a location for industrial investment. No matter what the bosses say, the truth is that investment will go where there are well-trained skilled workers who are able to work and are willing to work. So congratulations to the workers in Tiszaújváros who have finally acquired this investment.

Go Hungary, go Hungarians!

Trying to find a proper video of that speech, which according to the Voiceover contained some very important points, one does find interesting things. I quite like how Orban treats the commie-in-chief of France. Euronews, who produced the video below, is the EU Voice of the Comintern. Its CBC but for Europe. We have caught them fabricating total fictions to support narrative attacks several times.

Viktor Orban speech on the War, economics, and Western moral suicide

Here are key excerpts from Viktor Orban’s state of the nation address given recently in Hungary. Orban covers inflation, the war with Russia, but also the galloping sexual perversion of Western Civ and how Hungary views it.

It’s important to try and watch these videos in particular. Western media either ignores leaders like Orban, or misrepresents them in order to destroy them. So well worth seeing what they actually say and do, rather than an interpretation or a discourse theory attack on them.
