PM Orbán reiterated that Hungary’s economic measures are guided by two key principles: peace and family support. He emphasized that economic progress is only possible in times of stability, stating that "these measures can only be realized in peacetime." He credited Hungary’s economic resilience to policies that prioritize employment and family welfare.
The prime minister reaffirmed Hungary’s commitment to family-centered economic policies, including tax incentives for parents and an extended child benefit system. He highlighted new initiatives aimed at making Hungary a "family tax paradise," ensuring that those raising children receive significant financial support. "If there is work, there is prosperity," he stated, emphasizing the government’s focus on employment as the foundation of economic security.
Additionally, PM Orbán addressed inflation and food prices, announcing an upcoming VAT refund scheme for essential food items, set to provide Hungarian families with monthly financial relief. "We are a people's party; we don’t like to overcomplicate things," he noted, stressing the importance of direct economic support.
The prime minister signaled a crackdown on drug trafficking, calling for the establishment of specialized police task forces to combat the spread of synthetic drugs, particularly in rural areas. He stated that "a full-scale hunt" for drug dealers will be launched, reinforcing the government's zero-tolerance policy on narcotics.
PM Orbán also announced that Hungary will no longer allow Pride events. "Such things should never have been allowed in the first place," he said, criticizing previous diplomatic influences that facilitated these events in Hungary.
He said the decision was part of broader child protection measures, arguing that promoting gender ideology is harmful to children. "There are now sixty different ‘neither man nor woman’ categories being promoted in the West," he said, adding that Hungary will stand firm against such ideologies. He reiterated that parents must have the right to protect their children from exposure to gender activism.
According to the prime minister, recent global shifts, including the dismissal of diplomats advocating LGBTQ+ causes, signal a turning tide in international politics. "The world has changed. These ambassadors have been sent home," he noted.
Turning to foreign policy, PM Orbán reaffirmed Hungary’s opposition to Ukraine’s EU membership, stating that it would "devastate the Hungarian economy" and lead to an uncontrollable rise in crime. "I’m not saying never, but for now, it’s simply impossible," he stated, emphasizing the risks associated with Ukraine's current state.
The prime minister also addressed global political influences, asserting that Hungary must continue the work started by Donald Trump and Elon Musk in exposing left-wing networks. He claimed that these groups manipulate public opinion through financial influence, buying journalists and celebrities to shape narratives on issues such as migration and war.
