The representatives elected Viktor Orbán, the president of Fidesz, the leader of the Fidesz-KDNP list as the Prime Minister of Hungary for the fifth time, on the recommendation of the head of state, with 133 votes in favor and 27 votes against. Viktor Orbán solemnly swore in front of the historical flags and the representatives.
"I will be loyal to Hungary and its Basic Law, I will keep its laws and I will keep them with others, I will exercise my office as prime minister for the benefit of the Hungarian nation," he said. After the solemn oath-taking, the representatives and the invited guests sang the National Anthem together.
First of all, the Prime Minister thanked the voters for their support and trust. "I will not forget that the authorization came from the Hungarian people," he said.
Thanks to the opposition activists
According to Viktor Orbán, "we spared neither myself nor others" during the election campaign. He especially thanked all the opposition activists who participated in monitoring the elections.
Our opponents made sure that the election took place under unprecedented control, and it turned out that there can be no election abuses in Hungary."
he underlined.
"Brussels and György Soros also played for our downfall"
In his speech, the Prime Minister said: in the 32-year history of Hungarian democracy, not as many people voted for a single party as for the list and candidates of the Fidesz-KDNP. "After twelve years of government, we received the majority of the votes, and I will do my best to earn the trust," Viktor Orbán said.
We received the greatest confidence when the international left and the world of the media united against us, Brussels and György Soros also played for our downfall.
Viktor Orbán echoed his speech at the election results "There is nothing more exhilarating than being shot at and not being hit," he added.
"Such a winning streak is unprecedented in the Western world," he underlined.
The 2022 parliamentary election is a historical lesson
"Hungarians have a sophisticated sense of danger and historical experience, Hungarians have learned that in times of danger, infighting can have serious consequences, such as the loss of the country," said Viktor Orbán.
Now in times of trouble, unity is the order of the day. Anyone who pulls himself out of it brings danger to the nation and the homeland"
he added. According to the Prime Minister, the alliance does not come about by itself, the consensus should not be sought, but created, and he emphasized that this requires patriotism and goodwill in politics. "For me, this 2022 parliamentary election is broken
Age of dangers
According to Viktor Orbán, the prime minister's primary responsibility is to think about the times that await us and to prepare the Hungarians for this. According to Orbán, what has been unfolding since 2020 points in one direction: Europe and Western people have entered an age of danger.
This decade will be an age of danger, uncertainty and wars
he added. According to the Prime Minister, the war and the sanctions policy caused an energy crisis, and the American interest rate hikes ushered in the age of inflation. And all of this, as the prime minister said, brings the age of economic decline. "Threatening epidemics may recur, the recession may deepen, and migration may increase," said the prime minister.
The suicide waves of the West
"The picture of the decade of war ahead of us also includes waves of suicides in the Western world," said Viktor Orbán. According to the prime minister, this is the case with the large European population exchange program, the essence of which is to replace the missing Christian children with migrants. Such an attempt is "gender madness and the program of liberal Europe". According to Orbán, the latter goes beyond Christian Europe and sees the community in the individual cut off from his family and country. "It is in this situation that the route for Hungary needs to be set," said the prime minister.
"We continue our national unification work"
Viktor Orbán then stated in his speech: "The Hungarians were carved from hard wood, and we will resist the attacks." The head of the government said that he especially counts on the followers of the historic churches in the coming years, and he promised that the government will ensure the "necessary conditions for preaching the gospel".
Orbán said: he sees the physical and spiritual traces of reviving national unity.
All this strengthens the motherland and universal Hungarianness. We continue our national unification work"
Orbán said.
Energy security comes first
In his speech, Viktor Orbán also addressed the Russian-Ukrainian war, which has been going on for the 82nd day. "This war should not have started," said the prime minister. According to Viktor Orbán, Europe now has no means to deal with the conflict, and thus "lacking power, the continent's leaders are convinced that sanctions can bring Russia to its knees," he added. "I can't think of a continental lock that was a result, only someone who invented it fell into it," he said
According to Viktor Orbán, it is vital for Hungary to become a member of NATO, the NATO defense alliance, and one should not give in to the temptation to carry out military actions outside the territory of its member states. They decided to arm Ukraine without limits. This is the worst combination, so the war will continue for a long time, he added.
We must stay out of this war and protect the peace and security of the country
- He told.
"Dragon vs. Dragon Grass"
He stated in relation to the war: Ukraine is the attacked, and Russia is the aggressor. As he put it, "NATO is a sure support, but it will not protect Hungary for us." "If a country's army is weak and its people don't want to defend themselves, that country will be defended first," he added.
Strengthening the Hungarian National Guard and turning it into a real army is the most urgent task"
- assessed the prime minister.
"We are looking for our dreams in the European Union"
He also spoke about: Hungary is a member of the European Union, and "we want it to remain so in the decade ahead. Brussels seeks to reduce the sovereignty of the member states and wants to build the United States of Europe. The cultural alienation between the western and eastern part of Europe is increasing".
According to Viktor Orbán, it is important for Hungarians to maintain the quality of the thousand-year Hungarian existence. "For us, this precedes any confusing talk about close integration," said the prime minister.
As he said, "Brussels abuses its power every day and wants to impose things on us that we don't want". As he said, Brussels rejected Hungary's many "tolerance offers",
So what are we looking for in the EU? The answer is that we are looking for our dreams, we are looking for a Europe that protects people's dignity. We are members of the Union not because it is what it is, but because we know what we want
Only such a Europe provides opportunities for a free and independent Hungary," he emphasized.
Economic breakthrough
According to Viktor Orbán's assessment, only a successful economic policy based on national foundations can be the basis of the country's future and can provide a successful response to the challenges. "2010-2020 was a decade of great progress, so we managed to overtake Greece and Portugal in terms of development," he said. He added: "we have seen many things, but not such that the world economy turns upside down one after the other". He explained: 114 million people were left without a job due to the epidemic, but with the easing of the epidemic, fierce competition between countries began.
Hungary was among the winners in this competition, 1,886 billion forints worth of investments were launched in the country last year"
he underlined.
"Hungary will go forward, not backward"
The prime minister said: Hungary is not threatened by a food crisis. "Low taxes, physical security, advanced infrastructure, and political stability will be the most important for investments," he added. According to Viktor Orbán, the commitment of the government to be formed now is that, despite the crisis, "we will preserve our most important achievements".
I promise that Hungary will go forward and not backward.
"We will protect utility reduction, the value of pensions, and full employment," he added, promising at the same time that the new Hungarian government will curb inflation. In this regard, he said: "cautious price control measures are coming, the results will be visible by September".
The government system was transformed accordingly.
"Hungarians have been used to dying gracefully for centuries.
Now we want to prove that it is possible to live for the country.
- He told.
"We need a country that is proud of its values and proud of its language, high culture, cutting-edge science and world-beating sports results. The government that is being formed now is working for such a country," he added.
