The National March reached the Oktogon

According to our colleagues, many people sing (Tavaszi szél, Most mülik tööttö), and the chants are Árad a Tisza and Ruszkik haza!. Many people stand on Andrássy Avenue and watch the marchers.

Krisztián Ungváry dedicated his arm to someone, and according to Vilmos Bábel, only the historian was more surprised by this.

Orbán: EU yes, Brussels no

Just as the Soviets found their scoundrels in 1956, Brussels will find its scoundrels now, Orbán said. But the ground is shifting under the feet of European liberals, Trump has won, and there has been a change in the Czech Republic as well.

The cooperation of European peoples has been the greatest idea for centuries, yet it has become a Brussels oppression. Whoever makes a deal with Brussels, surrenders to migration. EU yes, Brussels no.

"Those who think they support government change are actually supporting war, whether they know it or not."

Now, according to Orbán, we are a strong and sovereign nation that has dignity and will preserve its future."It is in vain that the traitors shout 'Slava Ukraini', we only said: glory to Hungary." Those who are Hungarians want peace, we will not give our money, our weapons, and we will not die for Ukraine, but we will live for Hungary - he said, then turned to the election. In 5 months, we will have to decide our fate. Those who are here know what to do, we are fine.

"When the moment comes and we have to rush, we will rush. With our ballpoint pens, just don't tear the ballot."

But we must also talk to the deceived Hungarians, because every Hungarian is responsible for every Hungarian, he said."I'm not talking about their leaders, there are many Hungarians who think they are standing for a good cause when they support Brussels and the puppet government candidates sent here from there." According to him, Brussels is actually not a help, but a danger, the European People's Party is not our friend, but our ill-wisher, and"the Hungarian agents of Brussels are bringing us war instead of development."

"Those who think they support government change are actually supporting war, whether they know it or not."

Furthermore, Brussels wants to cut family benefits and abolish pension and utility cuts.

Orbán to young people: It's time to rebel

Reality is being replaced by digital and virtual spaces, said Orbán. Is there still reality? We know it exists. This is Hungary, freedom, and the fact that our peace is in danger. Everyone, including young people, is needed to protect freedom. Young people should protect it, which is the hardest thing, but the Brussels empire wants young people to become stateless Europeans. It is time to rebel. But first we have to get off the plane.

The National March has started unexpectedly.

Our colleague was also surprised when Péter Magyar suddenly appeared, and after a brief countdown, they took off.

Finally a good idea: Ace Ventura on the stage of the state ceremony

Wonderful background choreography stole the show at the state (=Fidesz) ceremony. We stare in awe.

Of course, it's never a shame to borrow ideas from the best.

In Europe, Hungary is the only country that stands for peace, said Orbán. We have the strength for peace, but it wasn't always like that. When the second Ukrainian front came, we were weak. We are not that now, Brussels couldn't occupy Budapest. We lost one and a half million people in the two world wars. If their children had been born, then population decline wouldn't be a problem today. We couldn't stay out of the First and Second World Wars, but now we are.

Orbán: Buying a country in war is the cheapest option

Brussels has run out of money, that's why they want to abolish the utility cuts, that's why they want to raise taxes, that's why they want to admit Ukraine to the EU. This is old colonial logic, said Orbán. They are already talking about dividing Ukraine. War is not a horror for them, but an opportunity. It's the cheapest way to take a country in a war. Ukraine is no longer sovereign, not independent, its fate is in the hands of others.

Ukraine doesn't treat Hungarians well, but we still help them, we want peace. They can be a strategic partner of the EU, but they can't be members, they would ruin our economy, they would bring war.

Orbán: If Brussels didn't obstruct Trump's peace mission, the war would be over by now

We know only one freedom, the freedom of the Hungarians, we insist on it, and we have the means. They threaten us into making a mistake, we will not kneel, we have masterstrokes in our bag. The Soviets, the IMF and the"pro-migration Brussels" are gone. None of them could swallow us,"we got stuck in their throats, and they had to be glad that they got away without any major trouble".

According to Orbán, Brussels has decided to go to war. The pro-war countries have formed their alliance, calling themselves the Coalition of the Willing."They are willing to send others to die."

If Brussels did not obstruct Trump's peace mission, the war would be over by now, said Orbán, adding that Hungary stood on the side of peace, and the Russian-Ukrainian war is not our war. The Hungarians of Transcarpathia were drawn into the war like"Pilate into the Creed". He also sent them a message: they have not been forgotten, they are supported, no Hungarian is alone.

Orbán: This is not our war

Tens of thousands of soldiers are dying on the front, said Orbán. This war is also tormenting our lives, although not ours. It is blocking the growth of the European and Hungarian economies. As long as the war lasts, there will be no economic development in Europe. It is a miracle that we are running Europe's largest home-based space program and a tax-cutting revolution at the same time.

Orbán: Let them live freely

"We Hungarians are not interested in rewards, we do not want to conquer, build an empire, we do not teach others how to live," said Orbán."We do not shy away from the task, anyone can make iron rings out of wood or bacon out of a dog, we only ask for one thing: let them live freely."

Orbán: This is why we need to rebel

What was made in 1956 was unparalleled. They took a large part of our country, what remained was groaning under foreign occupation, they wanted to eliminate our national consciousness, our past, that's why we had to take up arms, rebel. And that's why we have to rebel again and again, when foreigners want to tell us how to live. Hungarians don't ask for much, they are content with freedom.

The Tisza event starts late,

because many people haven't gotten there yet due to road closures and traffic jams - wrote Péter Magyar.

Former Foreign Minister Géza Jeszenszky was also among the gathering crowd.

We also caught up with Péter Márki-Zay, the mayor of Hódmezővásárhely, for a few words.

In response to our colleague Vilmos Bábel's question, he said that he is here with a mixed team of MMM and Tiszas members at the National March. He has a good relationship with the Tiszas members of Vásárhely,"we fight for the same cause", but he does not support them financially. And how else? He said that he is also happy to support Fidesz members, if the goal is good, as mayor he cannot make a difference between voters. They came from Hódmezővásárhely in ten cars, so it was cheaper than renting a bus, which he thinks is very expensive due to the toll.
