Speaking in France, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán calls mass migration a population replacement plan, warns against war escalation in Ukraine, and urges nationalist unity across Europe.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán delivered a defiant speech on Monday at the Patriots for Europe rally in Mormant-sur-Vernisson, France, urging French voters to help turn the tide against what he described as the ideological domination of Brussels and the threat of cultural erasure through mass migration.
“France is a great power,” Orbán told the crowd, “and Hungary is a small country with 11 million people, modest GDP, and limited military strength. But what makes Hungary interesting is its politics. We are the black sheep of the European Union. Brussels’ nightmare. The hope of Europe’s patriots. And the last bastion of Christians.”
Orbán acknowledged the historical distance between Hungary and France, but said the nations are now united in a shared struggle. Recalling esteemed French writer Victor Hugo’s praise of Hungarian heroism and philosopher Albert Camus’ words about the 1956 Hungarian Uprising, he cast Hungary as a nation forged in resistance — and today, once again resisting ideological occupation.
