    • PM Orbán: We were one centimeter away from leaving the EPP

    “This cannot go on,” Prime Minister Orbán said in his regular Friday morning interview on the public Kossuth Rádió. “If the EPP doesn’t stand up for Hungary, then we will have to start a new, Christian-Democratic European movement.”

    PM Orbán: “It is in Austria's interest that the Hungarian border defense succeeds”

    Austria is a natural partner of Hungary and the Visegrád Group, and all of them together can cooperate in crucial areas, including migration, security, border protection, competitiveness, climate protection and enlargement.

    Never underestimate the determination of the Soros Orchestra

    This is the way they work. No democratic mandate. Short-sighted, ideologically driven agenda that has no respect for the will of the citizens.

    Here’s Hungary’s response to the persistent migration threat

    The figures point in an increasingly concerning direction. It’s no longer a question of one’s stance on immigration; definitive action is needed to stop illegal border crossers from flooding the European Union.

    You have the right to know: some in Brussels think your national borders are an unfortunate obstacle to immigration

    Feb 28, 2019 - Zoltán Kovács

    Have you noticed how the bureaucrats in Brussels talk about “border management” instead of saying “border protection” or “border defense”? It’s not a coincidence. It betrays a fundamental difference in how we approach migration. For those in the pro-migration lobby, immigration is a positive outcome and national borders are the obstacles.

    PM Orbán: Next week’s debate on Hungary in the European Parliament “will be a Soros-style session, election rally and campaign event”

    Jan 25, 2019 - Zoltán Kovács

    “When it comes to important issues, and we listen and pay attention to the people, we get their answers,” PM Orbán said in this morning’s interview on Kossuth Rádió. Besides the results of the latest national consultation, the prime minister touched upon the upcoming European Parliament’s debate on rule of law in Hungary and George Soros’s efforts to expand his influence in the European Commission.

    Here’s why that report is an embarrassment to the US Senate

    Jan 14, 2018 - Zoltán Kovács

    This week’s shameful example of anti-Hungary bias and ignorance comes to us – I regret to report – from the hallowed halls of the United States Senate. On January 10th, the minority staff – I’ll come back to that in a moment – of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee published a report entitled, “Putin’s Asymmetric Assault on Democracy in Russia and Europe: Implications for U.S. National Security.”

    The Soros media blitz to convince the world there is no such thing as a Soros plan

    Nov 23, 2017 - Zoltán Kovács

    As I wrote last week, the European Parliament approved a regulation that would introduce a permanent and mandatory migrant quota system without an upper limit on the number of migrants to be admitted. What’s more, it says that the evaluation of asylum claims will no longer be carried out by the country of first entry, and all member states will have to accommodate migrants on an involuntary basis. Countries that don’t cooperate would be politically and financially penalized.

    When the Washington Post, and its anti-Hungary echo chamber, refuses to run my response

    Nov 13, 2017

    Echo chambers – the lack of different opinions on a certain issue – are threatening people’s right to information in the modern age. In today’s world of social media saturated with fake news and sensational, online media fighting for page views, the echo chamber effect is growing, and those media outlets that pride themselves on professional journalism have a special obligation to restore a little reason to the discourse.

    Soros ‘undermines democratically elected governments’ and criticizing his agenda has nothing to do with anti-Semitism

    Jul 12, 2017 - Zoltán Kovács

    The heritage of a particular American billionaire speculator is not relevant to his agenda. Criticizing the radical policies he’s pushing all over the world – completely lacking any democratic mandate or accountability – is not anti-Semitism. Suggesting otherwise amounts to a cheap tactic to silence his critics and support the far-from-mainstream Soros agenda.

    Myths and Facts about Hungary and George Soros (Part 1)

    May 30, 2017 - Zoltán Kovács

    Browse the international media coverage of Hungary over the last several weeks and a handful of keywords stand out: migration crisis, NGOs, transparency, media, Central European University and George Soros. While much of the coverage lacks balance, the keywords themselves can be instructive, shedding light on a far-reaching, ideologically driven and wholly undemocratic network that pushes George Soros’s “open society” agenda.

    Here’s the scary part of the Article 7 nuclear option pursued by European Parliament leftists against the Hungarian government

    May 22, 2017 - Zoltán Kovács

    Once again, Hungarian left-wing politicians have taken domestic affairs to the stage of the European Parliament, hoping to gain traction in their political campaign against the Hungarian government. Their timely intervention intersects neatly with the interests of an American billionaire whose extreme ideas about an open society aim to undermine Europe’s external border.
