Péter Magyar delivered a speech in Oradea at the city’s historic fortress, emphasizing themes of national unity amid a growing crowd of supporters who had gathered for the concluding event of his march titled "One Million Steps." The event marked a significant moment in Magyar's campaign, which involves mobilizing people across Hungary and beyond.

According to attendees, a substantial number of Hungarians from across borders joined the demonstration, filling parts of the square as they awaited Magyar’s arrival.

The atmosphere was marked by a conflicting presence, as a smaller group of counter-protesters expressed their dissent, shouting slogans such as "traitor" and "go home" at Magyar.

Supporters responded by chanting about the Tisza River, creating a stark divide between the two groups, which was maintained by Romanian police to ensure order.

In his address, Magyar reflected on the importance of the march, stating, "We will remember this one million steps until the end of our lives." He invoked a vision of aligning Hungary with Europe, asserting that the country desires governance that allows its citizens to lead their lives freely and without exclusion.

He criticized division and hatred as destructive forces leading to hopelessness and vulnerability.

Magyar characterized the political system under Viktor Orbán as outdated, proclaiming that "the final countdown has begun" for that era.

He made a notable remark referencing Orbán's previous slogan "One camp, one flag" but reframed it into "One flag, one nation." He expressed a desire for peace, stating that all citizens deserve a homeland that embraces them equally, advocating for harmony over hostility.

The march concluded with Magyar thanking attendees for their participation, emphasizing a shared Hungarian identity beyond political labels.

He articulated a commitment to a "humane Hungary" that reflects the aspirations of all its people.

Additionally, he referenced Orbán's recent comments about supporting controversial Romanian political figures, condemning the actions of leaders who engage in anti-Hungarian rhetoric.

He defined his approach as one rooted in peace and love, particularly in light of antagonistic responses.

The rally showcased Magyar’s strategy of seeking dialogue and connection, even with dissenting opinions.

His speech concluded with a collective recitation of the national anthem alongside supporters, reinforcing a sense of collective identity and purpose among participants.

After the speech, Magyar engaged with attendees, streaming the interactions live on social media platforms, further extending the reach of his message.

As events unfolded, Magyar also made a brief visit to a local Hungarian folk art store before the scheduled press conference.
