National consultation: Hungarian people stood up for the sovereignty of our country

The government has summarized the results of the national consultation, which clearly show that the Hungarian people have stood up for the sovereignty of our country and an overwhelming majority of them said no to having others decide for us on issues that fundamentally affect our lives.

Based on 1,545,628 returned questionnaires of the national consultation covering national sovereignty, migration, energy security and the war in Ukraine, more than 98 percent of Hungarians believe that a ceasefire and peace in our neighborhood are needed instead of arms transfers. Furthermore, migrant ghettos should not be created in our country, and child protection regulations should be tightened up.

We must also stand up for Hungarian farmers and GMO-free Hungarian agriculture, as well as take tougher action against foreign meddling in domestic politics.

Below are the detailed results of the 11-question poll:

11. More than 1,499,000 (98.15%) responded that stricter action, even through legislative tightening, should be taken against foreign influence in domestic affairs.

The national consultation is a well-established government initiative to solicit public feedback on issues affecting the nation's sovereignty and policy-making. It offers a glimpse into citizens' stances on economic, security, and social matters, informing both national decision-making and international observers of Hungary's democratic engagement.
