The CPAC in Dallas is another step in the direction of realizing the liberals' nightmare, the international unification of national forces. Mandiner's interview with the Director General of the Center for Fundamental Rights. Details.

When we last met, they were still preparing for the CPAC event in Budapest.
Since then, the first European jamboree took place, and even the first Israeli one ended a few days ago. Conferences seem to arrive on a conveyor belt - what will make the next one special?

Although cataclysms redrawing our daily lives and the political map - the epidemic or the war in Ukraine - are otherwise understandably pushed into the background, there is a kind of right-wing rebel effervescence in the wider world.

So far, we have been at a disadvantage compared to the liberals, and now we are starting to bring it in - and that is why they are angry. Which, of course, is a good sign in terms of our success.

The geopolitical situation is becoming more and more complex, and the tension is increasing day by day. What do you expect from CPAC Texas in this situation? the American midterm about world politics that directly affects European conservatives

An American CPAC obviously has a domestic political focus, but it is a remarkable phenomenon that in recent years this "conservative American narrative" has become more and more comprehensible for Hungary as well - in fact, it is perhaps even truer in the opposite direction. "do politics" against the international liberal mainstream : the prime minister's twelve points at CPAC in Budapest were concretely "devoured. "
