On 14 March 2025, Hungarian Conservative reported that Political Director Balázs Orbán delivered a notable address at CPAC 2025, highlighting Hungary’s pioneering role in conservative policy and transatlantic cooperation. The article begins:
It’s CPAC time again! US Vice President JD Vance kicked off this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) 2025 with a thematically similar, though less shocking and striking address compared to his speech last week at the Munich Security Conference in Germany.
Organized by the American Conservative Union, CPAC 2025 is taking place in National Harbor, Maryland. As usual, this year’s conference features several big guns expected to steal the show. Besides Vance, attendees include Nigel Farage, leader of the British Reform UK party—which currently leads the polls ahead of both Labour and Conservative—Jordan Bardella, leader of Marine Le Pen’s National Rally in France, Argentinian President Javier Milei, and former Polish prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki. Political director of the Hungarian prime minister Balázs Orbán was also invited and spoke on the same day as the vice president.
However, CPAC would not be CPAC without the global right’s biggest (rock)star: Donald Trump. The 47th President of the United States will deliver his speech on Saturday—and given the circumstances, it is sure to be a real firework. US billionaire and co-chair of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Elon Musk is also attending CPAC, adding even more attention to the gathering.
Key Points:
- Balázs Orbán emphasized Hungary’s early recognition of migration threats, positions now gaining acceptance across Western nations.
- Hungary will host CPAC for the fourth consecutive year in May 2025, branded as “The Age of Patriots.”
- Orbán credited Trump’s victory as beneficial for Europe, Hungary, and global conservative movements.
- Hungarian representatives highlighted their country’s stance despite financial pressure from the European Commission.
