Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said the National Consultation survey is the first step to winning the general election in 2026.
"If we lose, we lose everything: family protection, defense against migration, economic neutrality and the utility price caps will be finished," PM Orbán said at a town hall meeting in Paty, near Budapest, on Monday.
Hungary's government had fought to stay out of the war and to protect the country from its economic fallout, he said.
"The economic policy the government believes in" can only work in conditions brought about by peace, he added.
Meanwhile, PM Orbán said it was time for Hungary to embrace a policy of economic neutrality based on its own interests.
"Whether certain economic ties have a Western or Eastern character is secondary; the only important question is whether it's useful or not," he said. "We must trade with everyone in the world, we must cooperate with everyone from whom we can benefit," he said.
