PM Orbán at CPAC: A nation-destroying virus has been launched against Western countries

 

The West is facing a “nation-destroying virus” unleashed by progressive idealists that will destroy civilization unless conservatives fight to contain it, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has warned.

 

Speaking at CPAC Hungary in Budapest on Thursday, the Hungarian prime minister, seen as perhaps the preeminent leader of the Western conservative movement, issued his warning to hundreds of politicians, national leaders, and conservative activists who gathered in Budapest from around the world.

 

“A virus attack has been launched against us. This virus was developed in the progressive liberal laboratories,” said Orbán. “This virus is attacking the most vulnerable point in the Western world, and that is the nation. It is a nation-destroying virus that will atomize and pulverize our nations.”

 

The Hungarian leader said his country is seen as an incubator of conservative thought, and one of the primary strongholds left working against globalism. He noted that conservatives arrived in Budapest from countries ranging from the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Israel and Japan.

 

Not bad company, but how did Hungarians get into such a distinguished club? We’re not huge, we’re not formidable, we’re not rich, we don’t have a big army, we don’t have a huge GDP, and we’re not particularly populous. Who cares about us? Yet, here we all are today.

 

I think there is only one reason why we are in this elite club. There is one thing that makes our country an important place. It is the fact that Hungary is actually an incubator where the conservative politics of the future are being experimented with. Hungary is the place where we have not only talked about defeating progressive liberals and making a conservative Christian political turn, we have done it.

 

The Hungarian prime minister said that the attack facing Europe is not economic, but actually goes deeper into the very values and culture that had defined Europe for generations.

 

I report to you that we are all under attack, in Europe as well as in America. I must also report to you that the attack is not economic. We are dealing with a biological weapon,” said Orbán. “The nation is the great invention of the West. It is the heart of the free world, but it is also the Achilles heel of the Western world. If the nations evaporate, disintegrate, rust away, the possibility of free life will be lost and the West will fall. People without a homeland can never be free, they can only be landless pawns of the global elite.

 

Although it may seem self-evident for many conservatives today, Hungary was not always a bastion of conservatism. Orbán and Hungary truly rose into the international headlines once his country took a strong stance against immigration in 2015-2016. However, in a surprise move at the CPAC conference, Orbán said he had to thank billionaire oligarch George Soros for this political gift, which helped put Hungary on the political map and defined Hungary as a country dedicated to protecting Europe’s borders and cultural heritage.

 

But there is nothing to be done. Man plans, God does. In fact, the Hungarian experiment owes its worldwide fame to George Soros. In vain, God works in mysterious ways. If George Soros had not attacked Hungary, if he had not announced his program to resettle millions of illegal immigrants in Europe with the help of his mercenary NGOs, we would never have made the headlines. But Uncle George did announce his resettlement program, deployed his NGO army and set about implementing his grand plan. They flooded the Balkans with illegal migrants and set up a people-smuggling route into the heart of Europe, and then they bumped into Hungary. We called a halt, we took up the gauntlet, we defended ourselves, we built a fence, and we defended our country.

 

Orbán said that it was amidst the battle over migration with Soros, NGOs and Brussels, that he realized how the battle must be fought.

 

After a while, I also realized that it is not enough to defend our borders, it is not enough to fight physically in self-defense; we can only defend our country if we also engage in intellectual and ideological battles. We found ourselves in the middle of an intellectual ideological battlefield because migration is an important part of the liberal progressive philosophy. We had no choice but to call to account the ideology of the open society and with it the entire empire of George Soros.

 

Orbán stated that Hungary was not a country that attacked, but instead, focused on defense.

 

We Hungarians do not attack. We do not want to tell other countries what to think about migration, gender theory or the European superstate. And we certainly don’t want to tell the Americans what to think. Every nation has the right to live according to its own will and quality. Yes, we do not attack, we defend. We are defending because the globalist progressive elite wants to impose its will on us, wants to tell us what to think and how to live.

 

The Hungarian leader reemphasized the importance of the nation-state, but warned the existence of national sovereignty is under threat.

 

My friends, the idea of the nation is our particular Western heritage. That is why the Hungarians recognized it, that is why they made a blood pact, that is why they organized themselves into a nation, that is why we joined the Western world, and that is why we did not disappear into the mists of history, as happened to the other Asian peoples who came to the West. As nation-based political organization spread in the West, we rose up, we overtook our Western counterparts, in the race of civilizations. It proved that the nation is the best framework. It is the best framework for unleashing the dormant forces in the citizens of a country and for serving the interests of the whole community. If one knows, accepts and embraces a common language, history and culture, one is a full member of the nation and therefore free. This was the great advantage of Western civilization. That is why we were centuries ahead of the other continents. It is this competitive advantage of civilization, my dear friends, that is under attack today. And I am sorry to say that the attack is successful.

 

He warned that other civilizations across the world have not just caught up with Europe economically but have “simply outgrown us,” and lamented the fact that the Western world now only accounts for around 40 percent of the world’s economic output compared with more than 60 percent before the turn of the century.

 

Furthermore, the West is losing the race in terms of population growth with rapidly declining demographics “masked” by mass immigration. With its economic, cultural, and demographic decline, the only thing the West still has is its military strength, Orbán said.

 

So we are not doing well, the West is not doing well in the competition of civilizations and the worst thing is that we have only ourselves to blame. We have no competitor who could have wreaked such havoc. When the left unleashed the virus on the world, many well-meaning conservatives said that this anti-national virus was just a laboratory pest. The left doesn’t want to unleash its radicals on the world, they will contain them themselves, they said. But that’s not what happened. Let us not be naive. Today, we see that this virus has not escaped, it has been bred, it is being bred and it is spreading all over the world. Migration, gender, wokism — these are all just variants, variants of the same virus.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, the essence of illegal migration is the destruction of the national community. It is to break down the cultural basis necessary for the functioning of the nation-state and to create in its place marginalized, atomized, coexisting but hostile groups who will never form a community and who will eventually never form a state.
