Last week, we were praying for Hungary as the Hungarian people went to the polls on Sunday 15th April 2026. With money pouring in from the globalists to unseat their hated Viktor Orbán, we prayed for righteousness to prevail. The Lord has now answered our prayer. Mr Orbán, after 16 years of power, fell to the his rival Peter Magyar:
Viktor Orbán = Fidezs = 37.8% = 55 seats
Peter Magyar = Tisza = 53.6% = 138 seats
The Globalists, the WEF Elite, the smug centrist dads such as Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart, are all delighted. Here is Alastair Campbell:
‘What fantastic news from Hungary. Proof that if you stand up to it Right wing kleptocratic populist authoritarianism can be beaten. Orbán will now flee somewhere with his wealth. But this is more than a bad night for him. It is a bad night for Putin. … It is a bad night for Trump. It is a bad night for Vance and Rubio. … It is a bad night for Farage, the AfD and Le Pen because it shows that when their brand of politics is exposed to serious opposition and scrutiny it collapses. … The people of Hungary deserve our thanks for showing these people can be beaten.’
Writing in DailySceptic, James Alexander suggested such a view would be ‘far too simple’. He quoted no end of the global elite, from Alex Soros to Donald Tusk to Friedrich Merz to Ursula von der Leyen.
‘Democracy’ or ‘Liberalism’?
Barack Obama voiced: ‘The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not only in Europe, but all around the world.’ Keir Starmer also said it was a victory not just for Hungary but for ‘European democracy’. But Italian political scientist Nathalie Tocci ventured: ‘Orbán’s defeat does not guarantee an immediate return to democracy in Hungary, but it does mark a victory for liberalism in the world, even more than in Hungary itself.’
So, asked Professor Alexander, ‘Is it a victory for democracy or for liberalism?’ Bear in mind that when the elite use the word ‘democracy’ as we have shown before, it only means what keeps them and their kind in power. It does not mean ‘rule of the people’. The latter is their hated ‘populism’. Watch on Rumble:
Professor Alexander observes: ‘The doltishness of all this is quite absurd. One would almost think there is a conspiracy, a conspiracy of fools to bleat in similar ‘Three Bags Full’ manner.
‘Everyone who has read about this for more than a minute knows that Magyar is a former crony of Orbán, that he might be even more Right-wing in some respects, that the victory was about corruption more than it was about policy, …
‘There may be more EU funds unlocked, there may be support of Ukraine, but there may not be any change to the marital and migrating policies introduced by Orbán. Who knows?’
‘Orbánism without Orbán’
The DailySceptic reports Michael Mosbacher writing in the Telegraph that Peter Magyar and his Tisza party are Orbanism without Orbán. Their electoral programme was ‘remarkably similar’.
Here’s an excerpt: ‘Magyar is a social conservative who wants to increase financial incentives to have children, cut taxes, double the defence budget and has criticised Orbán for admitting too many migrants under Hungary’s guest worker schemes. On effectively every issue he sits firmly on the Right of European politics.’
Michael Mosbacher observes that ‘Magyar was a member of Orbán’s Fidesz party until 2024. When the anti-Orbánites ran in past general elections on a liberal platform they always lost. They have only won by promising Orbánism without Orbán.’
‘Standing up for Christian culture’
A Telegraph editorial agreed: ‘Viktor Orbán … became a bogey man to those of a Left-wing persuasion and especially to the commissars of the EU, for whom he was an unreconstituted nationalist unwilling to toe the Brussels line.
‘The BBC treated his demise as though a great dictator had been toppled rather than the outcome of a democratic election. His premiership and the election became proxies in a culture war between Europe and Donald Trump. Orbán was seen as someone prepared to stand up for Christian culture like a latter-day Charles Martel, notably refusing to accept European asylum-sharing demands. He was a persistent critic of immigration policies that failed to control the EU’s borders.’
They went on to observe: ‘Orbán’s approach is now effectively espoused across the EU, where leaders are desperate to kill off the Right-wing insurgents threatening their control. The AfD in Germany, the National Rally in France, and Reform UK are forcing governments to take the sort of tough action Orbán embraced.’
Homosexual lobby disappointed
Their conclusion was that ‘Hungarians may have tired of Orbán, his pro-Putin leanings and the accusations of corruption surrounding his administration, but not of his policies.’
Indeed, Pink News were distressed not to find Mr Magyar making any reference to ‘LGBT’, let alone endorsing a pro-gay programme, in any of his campaign speeches. As we pointed out in our previous article, Mr Orbán has outlawed homosexual propaganda and ‘gay pride’ marches while encouraging Hungarians to have more children through tax policy. There is no evidence Mr Magyar challenged any of this on the campaign trail.
Hungarians also saw corruption in government use of mainstream media. The Telegraph reports: ‘Peter Magyar, Hungary’s prime minister-elect, will suspend state news broadcasts once he takes power in a purge of pro-Orbán institutions. During Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule, public broadcasters similar to the BBC were used as government mouthpieces.’
Well there’s a funny thing. Exactly the same happens all the time in the United Kingdom. Especially from the Covid era, into mRNA vaccines, globalism, multiculturalism, LGBT, feminism and now Net Zero, the BBC acted and continues to act as a mouthpiece for the Establishment. It was Hermann Goering who explained during the Nuremburg trials how every state will use its propaganda machine to secure its will. Victor Orbán was not immune. We must pray Mr Magyar will not succumb to the same temptation.
Three reasons ‘why Viktor Orbán lost’
Frank Furedi proposed a complementary idea in Spiked Online in an article ’Why Viktor Orbán lost’. Professor Furedi is himself Hungarian, and he looks further than ‘voter fatigue, the cost-of-living crisis or even the allegations of corruption.’
He attributes the defeat to ‘three interrelated factors’. Firstly, ‘Fidesz has seemed at a loss as to how to engage with the younger generation. Indeed, by 2024, it appeared that it had more or less given up on young people, fatalistically accepting it had lost their support. It was content to view itself as a party of the older generations.’
Secondly, Prof. Furedi suggests: ‘Fidesz never understood what drove the hostility of younger voters towards it.’ The ‘generational disaffection’ of the younger people came from ‘the powerful influence exerted on them by Western identity politics and, underpinning it, therapy culture, with its emphasis on victimhood and vulnerability. The influence of therapy culture and the increasing focus on individual psychology and identity have tended to detach young people from the traditional, conservative values of Fidesz.’
Losing a culture war
He goes on to claim ‘many in Fidesz assured me that I was exaggerating the problem. They imagined that these phenomena were confined to the West and somehow miraculously stopped at the border of Hungary. Yet a therapeutic, identitarian sensibility increasingly prevails throughout Hungary’s cultural and educational institutions. Invariably, those influenced by it are likely to be drawn to Western anti-traditionalist and anti-nationalist ideals. Supporters of the government appeared to be oblivious to the fact that they not only were facing a culture war – they were losing it, too.’
Thirdly, he says, ‘in recent years, many Fidesz politicians have come across as complacent, entitled and out of touch with their own society. This problem was particularly striking in relation to their constant mis-assessment of the challenge posed by Tisza leader Péter Magyar. With every rally and demonstration, (Magyar) became ever more comfortable – and increasingly formidable – as a political leader.’
There is a similarity here with Nigel Farage, who has moblised the TikTok generation so effectively. A ‘belated attempt’ by Fidesz ‘to create its own cohort of online influencers lacked the spontaneity of the Tisza rebels. … Fidesz could not match the cultural élan and mobilising pull of its opponents.’
‘Better at populism’
There are certainly lessons for populist politicians and those who appeal to biblical standards rather than those of the Elite here in the UK and indeed worldwide. ‘Tisza won the battle for hearts and minds. It proved to be better at populism than its opponents. Riding the ‘enough is enough’ wave of public discontent, it succeeded where previous opponents of Orbán had failed.’
Finally, Professor Furedi strikes an optimistic note. ‘Being in government rather than posturing in opposition will likely undermine Tisza. It will certainly expose its populism as entirely performative. And by the time the next General Election comes around, Fidesz should have learned from this experience of defeat. The future of Hungary depends on an effective Fidesz opposition.
‘Europe’s centrist elites may hope that the defeat of Orbán represents a defeat for the populist movement in Europe. But crucially, none of the values that Fidesz stands for, from national sovereignty and strong borders to the importance of tradition, has been explicitly challenged, let alone defeated by Tisza. That is why I am confident that the populist surge will continue to transform the political landscape in Western societies.
‘As for Hungary, it is important that Fidesz holds its nerve and learns from the experience of defeat. An honest assessment of what went wrong is the prerequisite for a recovery ahead of the next election.’
