Orbán cabinet official warns of high stakes in US presidential election
The stakes in a United States presidential election have never been as high as they are now, according to Balázs Orbán, the Hungarian prime minister’s political director. In a keynote address to an international geopolitical summit in Budapest, Orbán stated that the liberal world order is over, and a “new world order” is emerging where conservatives need to adapt in order to come out as winners in this new era.
Orbán highlighted that the previous Western liberal world built after the Cold War has failed, causing a rift between the West and the rest of the world that did not embrace liberal values. This shift has led to economic and social challenges, weakened power structures, and increased tensions that threaten peaceful coexistence.
He emphasized the importance of fighting against “imperialist ideologies” that seek to erase national identities and advocate for centralized political control. Orbán called for a return to principles based on sovereignty, national interests in economic decisions, and the preservation of traditional values. He argued that now more than ever, conservatives play a crucial role in shaping the future of Western civilization.
Orbán pointed out that the outcome of the US presidential election holds immense significance, as the Western world’s leading power must be led by individuals who grasp global changes. He stressed that the success of Hungary, the US, and Western civilization as a whole depends on making the right choices in these turbulent times.
