On Sunday morning the Hungarian news portal Origo posted an interview with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, President of Fidesz. Mr. Orbán said that in the election the stakes would be high, as before the end of this year, in 2018, Brussels would try to resettle ten thousand migrants in Hungary. Hungarians, he said, faced a major joint decision on excluding immigrants from Hungary and defending the country. “Today we must put aside comfort”, he stated, as “the Sorosists will all be there, so we should be there, too.” The Prime Minister stressed that “we must make the right decision, because if we make a mistake, it will be impossible to correct it.” He urged everyone to go out and cast both their votes for Fidesz.
In a video posted on his Facebook account on Saturday afternoon, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that on Sunday “we will have to decide on how to spend our hard-earnt money: on our children, grandchildren, family support, pensioners and the elderly; or on immigrants.”
Late on Sunday evening Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated that “we have achieved a crucial victory: we have been given – and we have created – the opportunity to defend Hungary.”
Early on Sunday morning, after casting his vote at Zugliget Elementary School in Budapest’s District XII, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told journalists that what is at stake in the parliamentary election is Hungary’s future.
In an interview published in the Saturday edition of the Hungarian daily “Magyar Idők”, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has said that if the opposition parties are given a chance to govern, they will accept Brussels’ migrant quota decisions. This, he said, would mean the immediate settlement in Hungary of ten thousand migrants, it would require the Hungarian state to support them at a cost of nine million forints per capita, and it would also permit family reunification. From that point on, the Prime Minister said, this process would be unstoppable and irreversible.
In front of Székesfehérvár City Hall on Friday, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that in the coming election Hungarians must choose between two futures: one offered by the candidates of George Soros; and the other represented by the candidates of Fidesz and the Christian Democrats. The Hungarians, he said, have one homeland, and they have no other – but there are those who want to take their country from them. Migrants would have to be provided for by Hungarians.
In Budapest on Friday, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán gave a speech at the unveiling of a memorial to the former Polish president Lech Kaczyński and the other victims of the Smolensk tragedy in 2010. The Prime Minister said that the Hungarians and Poles share a common path and a common struggle: their goal is to build and defend their homeland of Central Europe as national and Christian.
Viktor Orbán has spoken of the danger that “Soros’s people” could be installed in government in Hungary, as has happened in other countries, and this is what the “Soros Leaks” recordings make clear. If Soros’s people have influence in government, the Prime Minister said, they will occupy the Hungarian energy sector and the banking system. In an interview published in the Thursday edition of the Hungarian weekly “Figyelő”, Mr. Orbán also said that the Hungarian people will pay the price for that, and so against Soros’s candidates the people can only rely on Fidesz-KDNP candidates.
On Wednesday Bertalan Havasi, the Prime Minister’s press chief, informed Hungarian news agency MTI that Prime Minister Viktor Orbán had sent a letter to the mayors of settlements with populations of under five thousand. In his letter the Prime Minister dismissed as “fake news” reports that the Government is planning to abolish the local governments of small settlements.
In Budapest on Wednesday, at the inauguration of Ludovika University Campus of the National University of Public Service (NUPS), Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that today the Hungarian capital is one of the world’s safest cities, but “one bad decision, one misguided choice would be enough to render Budapest unrecognisable”.
