Prime Minister Orbán opened by reflecting on political experience, warning against complacency in politics. "Anyone who believes that victory is assured can be certain they will lose," he said. "You have to work just as hard for a narrow win as for a large one." He credited Hungary’s sustained governance and social achievements to long-term unity and consistent effort.
The prime minister presented ten major government priorities for 2025, split evenly between economic and political initiatives. Economically, the government will enforce a 15% retail markup cap on non-food items, launch the Demján Sándor Program, distributing HUF 1,400 billion to small and medium-sized enterprises, increase child tax credits by 50% from July, and expand lifetime tax exemption to mothers under 40 with two children from January.
On the political front, Prime Minister Orbán pledged stronger child protection laws, a new transparency act targeting foreign-funded NGOs, expanded rural development support, and tighter drug enforcement. "We have created a family-centered economic model and a migrant-free country. We are not drifting from our roots. We want to reinforce them," he declared.
The core of his speech, however, addressed the central issue of the Voks2025 campaign: whether Hungary should support Ukraine’s accession to the European Union. Prime Minister Orbán rejected accelerated membership plans, arguing Hungary’s own accession was only permitted because it benefited older member states economically. "They did not let us in out of kindness or Christian compassion. They let us in because it made financial sense for them," he said.
He warned that Ukraine's vast agricultural capacity—holding 40% of Europe’s total arable land—would overwhelm current EU subsidy systems. "That means the current agricultural support system will be finished. It will no longer be sustainable," he said. Development funds for Central Europe, he added, would instead be funneled into "a bankrupt country that cannot stand on its own feet."
Prime Minister Orbán also criticized the EU’s RepowerEU energy initiative, highlighting that its provisions would end Hungary’s access to Russian gas and nuclear fuel. "If they ban the use of Russian fuel elements at the Paks Nuclear Power Plant, we won’t be able to sustain the utility price cap. It won’t be financially viable," he warned.
Concluding, he urged voters to back a government capable of defending Hungary’s sovereignty and hard-won policies. "Without a national government, we won’t be able to maintain a migrant-free Hungary, our family-based economy, or affordable utility prices. These achievements would be lost," he said.
