Addressing local residents, Prime Minister Orbán highlighted what he described as one of the government’s most significant recent measures: support for young Hungarians seeking to own homes. “We have been able to launch the most affordable home loan scheme for young people in Europe with a fixed 3% loan,” the prime minister said, emphasizing that Hungarian youth now have some of the easiest and cheapest access to housing on the continent.
He framed these achievements within a broader commitment to families, stressing that demographic stability remains central to Hungary’s future. “No children, no future. If there are children, there is a future, because the most important thing is family,” PM Orbán stated, adding that while men take pride in their families, “it is women who really keep families together.”
Turning to economic results, the prime minister pointed to what he described as a substantial strengthening of Hungary’s national assets over the past decade. Speaking directly to local political opponents, he said: “In the shadow of war, dear people of Vásárhely, we doubled Hungary's public assets, we have never had such high foreign exchange reserves.” He also noted a significant increase in gold reserves, from 3 tonnes in 2010 to 103 tonnes today, underlining what he portrayed as a stable and resilient economic foundation.
Prime Minister Orbán used the occasion to contrast the government’s record with that of its critics, arguing that tangible results and long-term planning should guide political decisions. His remarks suggested that economic performance and national stability remain key pillars of the government’s message as it engages voters across the country.
A central theme of the speech was Hungary’s stance on the war in Ukraine. The prime minister made it clear that Hungary’s priority is to avoid involvement in the conflict. “We owe Ukraine nothing. We gave them what they needed. Over that we cannot support them without destroying ourselves,” he said, setting firm limits on further engagement.
He reiterated that Hungary will not take part in military actions, emphasizing the risks such involvement would pose. “We will not go to war for the Ukrainians. This war is not our war,” PM Orbán stated, describing the conflict as “a fratricidal war between two Slavic peoples.” He added that Hungary’s national interest lies in maintaining peace and ensuring that Hungarian soldiers are not drawn into the war.
Throughout his address, Prime Minister Orbán linked domestic policies with broader geopolitical challenges, presenting stability, economic strength, and family support as the foundations of Hungary’s future in an increasingly uncertain world.
