... The drama unfolding before our eyes reminds us of the risks we must face every day. The risks are especially great nowadays, when what counts is ever less a debate about views and plans, and when the independence and sovereignty of nation states is in the crosshairs of the world’s dominant centres of money and power. ...

The green transition requires two things: green energy must be generated, and it must be stored. Our plan is to build Paks II [nuclear reactors], extend the lifespan of Paks I, and rapidly build smaller and bigger solar power plants. The world has already realised that without nuclear energy it will be impossible to abandon fossil fuels, while Brussels has finally accepted the need to sooner or later add nuclear power plants to the list of recognised green energy sources.  ...

One hardly wants to believe one’s eyes. Now, what we see is that only ever more trouble is coming our way from Brussels. Brussels’ Ukraine strategy has failed spectacularly. Not only on the battlefield where the situation is nothing short of disastrous, but in international politics too. In vain we said that this is a war between two Slavic peoples, and not ours; Brussels threw itself into the conflict head first. We have remained on our own with our pro-peace position, just as with our anti-migration policy earlier. We will be right on the issue of the war, just as we were right on the issue of migration. It is a tragedy that in the meantime hundreds of thousands of people have had to die. Hungary’s position remains unchanged. We will not allow ourselves to be dragged into the war. We will not supply weapons.  ...

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have bad news about migration, too. According to the chief of the European border and coast guard agency – whose duty it ought to be to protect the borders – “nothing can stop people from crossing a border.” The response of us indigenous people in our vernacular is, “Like Hell!” Even the blind can see that migration is a security risk, and is additionally a hotbed of anti-Semitism, and uproots European societies from their European soil. They themselves enticed migrants in: they sat there in Brussels and Berlin with candy floss in their hands, and then they were surprised when they were swarmed by wasps.   ...
