CPAC Hungary: US, Dutch, Argentinian, Chilean, Polish politicians praised Orbán, Trump; slammed Brussels, Biden, wokeism

Bravery is a precondition of victory, and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is a very brave leader who proudly stands up for his country and protects Hungarians from illegal immigration, which is “really necessary”, Geert Wilders, the leader of the Dutch Freedom Party (PVV), said at the CPAC Hungary conference on Friday.

The Freedom Party doubled their parliamentary seats in November last year, becoming the largest party in the Netherlands, Wilders noted, adding that the key to PVV’s success was in its courage to speak out against the policy of open borders and wokeism.

CPAC is needed more than ever before as new and serious threats have emerged, the Dutch politician said.

He said one of the major threats was the woke movement, whose essence was that everything is relative, everything is inter-changeable, and “that is the message of the leftist elite”. The left, Wilders said, had “sold so many countries out”, restricted the freedom of individuals, destroyed their economies and opened their borders to mass migration.

He said another, external, threat was of a demographic nature. Africa’s population will quadruple by the end of the century, and one-third of its people were preparing to move to Europe, he said. There is an enormous migration crisis, with many European nations struggling with illegal immigrants, Wilders said.

The PVV leader noted that in 2004 Islamist fanatics had put him on a death list because “I dared to criticise Islam”. But this had not discouraged him, he said, adding that “our freedom of speech is sacred and we will never ever compromise on the truth, ever”.

There are no illegal migrants and “no-go” zones in Budapest, he said, adding that by opening [the EU’s] borders, the leadership of former German chancellor Angela Merkel had put European Christian civilisation at risk.

ari Lake: With Trump back in White House ‘we’ll work to bring an end to this senseless slaughter’

“When I am in the United States Senate and President Trump returns to the White House … we will work together again to bring an end to this senseless slaughter between Russia and Ukraine, and bring stability to the world once again,” Republican US Senatorial candidate Kari Lake for Arizona said in a video message to CPAC Hungary, according to a statement released by the Center for Fundamental Rights on Friday.

In the video, Lake noted her visit to Budapest last year, saying: “From the Buda Castle, to the Chain Bridge, Heroes’ Square, we looked at your glittering landmarks with awe. But what truly impressed us was just how safe we felt.”

She said this was a testament to the leadership of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, “who has delivered historic peace and prosperity” to Hungary.

Lake praised the Hungarian government’s family policy measures which have almost halved the number of abortions. She noted the role of family tax incentives and said the same thing should be done in the United States.

“We must recognise that we are only as strong as our greatest institution, which is the family,” she said.

“And now our globalist enemies claim that a pro-family, pro-faith philosophy is extreme. They have sought to alienate our two countries from one another and sever the ties that bind us together.”

She vowed that if Republicans retake the White House, the US and Hungary will resume their close relations.

“The world is a much safer place when the United States of America and our ally, Hungary, are strong,” Lake said.

“And we will resume our respective roles in the international arena by operating through peace, through strength.”

International speakers address issues of gender, sovereignty, wokeism

International speakers at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Budapest (CPAC Hungary) on Friday talked about the issues of gender ideology, the sovereignty of nation states, the exploitation of children and wokeism.

Former Republican senator Rick Santorum said there was an “existential battle” going on in Europe between “sovereign countries like Hungary” and “neomarxists”, adding that the United States was facing similar problems.

“Authoritarians, if left unchecked, will topple Western civilisation,” he warned, adding that social media, large corporations and even certain churches were working to turn societies into masses.

He said the US had become “so dominant, so successful militarily, economically” that Americans had forgotten God and had started leaving their social groups and churches behind while the left had organised.
