CPAC Budapest Opens with Anthem, Prayer, and a Global Message: The Age of Patriots Has Arrived
The fourth annual CPAC Budapest opened with thunderous applause, patriotic anthems, and a bold declaration from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán: “Donald Trump has won and is restoring hope to the world.” From the moment the U.S. and Hungarian national anthems were sung, the message was clear—this was more than a political gathering; it was a rallying cry for a global conservative resurgence.
CPAC Budapest, hosted by the Center for Fundamental Rights and spearheaded by American Conservative Union Chair Matt Schlapp, has become the central hub for nationalist, populist, and anti-globalist leaders from across the globe.
Orbán Salutes Trump and Calls for Global Conservative Solidarity
In his rousing keynote, Orbán praised President Trump as the catalyst for a historic comeback. “What a slap in the face for leftists,” Orbán proclaimed. “Not only did he win, but he is doing exactly what he promised.” He applauded Trump for securing U.S. borders, dismantling radical gender ideology, and exposing George Soros’ global influence network.
Orbán’s praise extended to conservative world leaders who, like Trump, have faced intense media scrutiny and political persecution:
-
Robert Fico of Slovakia, who survived an assassination attempt.
-
Irakli Kobakhidze of Georgia, resisting pressure to enter the Ukraine war.
-
Alice Weidel of Germany’s AfD, whom Orbán welcomed as proof that “there are Germans who love their country more than Brussels.”
-
Geert Wilders, hailed as a “Dutch hero” living under constant threat.
Orbán didn’t mince words on the state of Europe: “This is organized population exchange. The Green Deal is killing our economies. Brussels wants centralized control, and we will not accept it.”
CPAC’s Global Expansion: Leaders Rally Against Globalism and for National Sovereignty
The lineup at CPAC Budapest reads like a who’s-who of rising right-wing powerhouses. U.S. speakers include Rep. Abe Hamadeh, Gavin Wax, Trump legal adviser John Eastman, and prominent conservative commentators Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, Dave Rubin, and Jack Posobiec. European power players such as Geert Wilders, Alice Weidel, Liz Truss, and Santiago Abascal round out a truly international roster.
Matt Schlapp declared the emergence of an “Age of Patriots,” crediting President Trump and Prime Minister Orbán for reshaping the global conservative agenda around secure borders, national sovereignty, and economic independence.
Georgia’s PM Kobakhidze Warns of Deep State Agenda
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze took the stage to warn that Western powers are pressuring Georgia to become a “battlefield” once again, as it was during past regional conflicts. Echoing Orbán and Trump, Kobakhidze slammed the so-called “Global War Agenda” and expressed hope that Trump’s return would weaken what he called the “Deep State.”
Orbán’s Rallying Cry: “We Must Re-Occupy Brussels”
In a powerful closing statement, Orbán called on patriots around the world to fight back against globalist institutions:
“This war will have to be won at home and then in Brussels. We must re-occupy Brussels. For that, we need the United States and the support of Donald Trump.”
He concluded with a thunderous call to arms: “The task is not complicated. We just need to win. And we will make Europe great again.”
