Miklós Szánthó emphasizes the need for a global coalition of peace-loving, anti-globalist forces.
Hungary is set to host an even larger gathering of the national-conservative faction than in previous years. The third CPAC Hungary, happening this Thursday and Friday, expects a record attendance of approximately three thousand guests. Speakers from six continents, including current and former leaders such as two sitting and three former prime ministers, seven ministers, and ten political party leaders, are slated to appear. Additionally, journalists and reporters from thirteen countries will cover the event on-site. The message is clear: both domestically and internationally, there is a need to drain the 'woke swamp.'
Miklós Szánthó remarked that this achievement is not only thanks to the efforts of the Center for Fundamental Rights but also to the entire Hungarian right-wing community.
Viktor Orbán, Hungary's Prime Minister, will once again be the keynote speaker at CPAC Hungary. Reflecting on the event's significance, the director of the organizing institute recalled Ortán's previous contributions, including the laying out of a conservative success model in 2022, and his articulation of the Hungarian right-wing's crucial credo in 2023: "No Migration, No Gender, No War!"
Szánthó then highlighted the fundamental divide in contemporary politics, distinguishing between those who are globalists or sovereigntists, and those who advocate for war versus peace. He observed that globalists, particularly in Washington and Brussels, have succumbed to a war psychosis.
The goal of CPAC Hungary, according to Szánthó, is to unite peace-loving, sovereigntist forces that resonate with the West's true civilizational values: the unity of God, homeland, and family. This stands in stark contrast to modern communists who reject such values, promoting instead a vision devoid of religion, patriotism, and traditional family structures.
This year's conference theme, "Wokebusters," aims to "drain the swamp," a mission Szánthó promises to pursue in Brussels and Washington in the coming months.
He called out the leadership in Brussels and Washington as inadequate for achieving peace, highlighting the necessity for strong leaders. Szánthó sees the U.S. presidential elections as critical, with
Donald Trump potentially playing a key role in securing a ceasefire in the Ukraine conflict.
"The task is clear," Szánthó stated, "we need to create a global coalition of peace-loving, anti-globalist forces."
Matt Schlapp, the Chairman of CPAC, expressed admiration for Hungary's commitment to "draining the swamp," critiquing the American right-wing's performance in this regard. Upon arriving in Budapest, he felt a breath of freedom lacking in the U.S., lamenting the state of American cities under communist leadership and criticizing the leftist indoctrination against traditional values.
Schlapp also pointed out the global challenges facing conservatism, citing attempts to imprison Jair Bolsonaro and
Donald Trump, as well as attacks on
Elon Musk. He described the situation in America as a constitutional crisis aimed at preventing Trump's candidacy, an action that undermines the electoral tradition.
In conclusion, Schlapp praised Hungary for its significant and courageous changes, suggesting that the U.S. might consider adopting similar legislations. "Hungary has achieved great change, and now, lawmakers in America are talking about introducing similar laws. The courage and impact of Hungary are immense and bring about significant change," he declared.
