Orbán's Four-Point Plan: A New Direction for Hungary?

CPAC Hungary 2025: Orbán's Four-Point Plan for Peace and Sovereignty Budapest, Hungary – Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán delivered a significant address at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Hungary 2025, outlining a four-point plan that has sparked considerable discussion. The plan centers on four key pillars: securing peace, maintaining national sovereignty, rejecting shared EU taxes and economic control, and protecting freedom of thought and expression. Orbán's speech emphasized the importance of peace, stating, "We don't want a new Eastern front; we want peace." This statement, however, is viewed by some as contradictory to Hungary's stance on the war in Ukraine. His call for national sovereignty resonated with many in the audience, who applauded his rejection of what he termed "centralized economic control" from Brussels. One attendee commented, "It's time for nations to take back control of their own destinies." The video demonstrates significant audience engagement, highlighting the importance of Orbán's message for a substantial segment of the Hungarian population. The event underscores the growing influence of conservative and nationalist movements across Europe and the ongoing debate surrounding the EU's role in the region.
