Prime Minister Orbán opened by highlighting the final phase of the campaign, reporting strong momentum across the country and expressing confidence in a decisive victory. He stressed that the campaign continues until polls close, urging supporters to maximize turnout and “bring everyone,” underlining that a strong mandate is essential in the current geopolitical climate.
A central theme of the speech was peace and Hungary’s stance on the war in Ukraine. Prime Minister Orbán framed the election as a choice between war and peace, stating that Hungary will not send soldiers, money, or weapons to the conflict. He emphasized that the country must remain “the island of peace” and preserve its status as one of Europe’s safest nations.
Energy security was closely tied to this position. Referring to tensions over oil supplies, Prime Minister Orbán made clear that Hungary will defend its interests, stating that no international decision favoring Ukraine would be supported until energy transit is restored. He presented this as a matter of sovereignty, insisting that Hungary will not accept external pressure that undermines its economic stability.
A key part of the address focused on Hungary’s relationship with the United States. Prime Minister Orbán emphasized that American support reinforces Hungary’s security, noting that “the United States is the strongest country in the world” and that having such an ally provides clear strategic backing. He argued that this support also confirms Hungary’s place within the West, underlining that Hungary and the United States are aligned in key debates on migration, family policy, and peace, strengthening political cooperation beyond traditional European partnerships.
In contrast, Prime Minister Orbán described Western Europe as moving in a direction that Hungary does not wish to follow, particularly on migration and cultural issues. He reiterated that Hungary will continue to protect its borders and constitutional identity, maintaining an independent course even under external pressure.
Reflecting on the past four years, Prime Minister Orbán called the period “unfair,” shaped by crises beyond Hungary’s control. Despite this, he pointed to achievements such as maintaining full employment, raising wages, restoring pension benefits, and expanding family support. These, he argued, demonstrate the country’s resilience and ability to deliver results under difficult conditions.
He also addressed younger voters, highlighting policies such as tax exemptions and housing support, arguing that these measures create real opportunities and long-term stability.
Turning to the broader political landscape, Prime Minister Orbán said Hungary has drawn increased international attention because it represents an alternative model. He argued that the country has shown it is possible to defend national sovereignty, resist migration pressures, and remain outside the war while maintaining stability.
In his closing message, Prime Minister Orbán drew a sharp contrast between the governing parties and their opponents. “A country can’t be built on anger and hatred,” he said, adding that the future must be based on unity and cooperation. He presented this as the defining choice for voters.
Concluding the rally, Prime Minister Orbán thanked supporters and called for continued mobilization through election day, expressing confidence that a strong mandate will allow Hungary to safeguard its security, economic stability, and independence.
