The Liberals who have managed to get a majority in parliament believe they can do anything and everything they like, and they are doing it. They are realizing a plan that was hatched outside of Poland, but I will return to that later.
First let’s turn to the Polish-Hungarian Forum in which Poland’s President Andrzej Duda said that “in difficult times we are together.” In this way, he acknowledged that Polish and Hungarian conservatives have their differences, the most important being over the war in Ukraine. However, we should not succumb to the distortions about Hungary’s stance on the matter perpetrated by the left and the liberal media.
Far more important are the things that unite both factions. They agree that the major cleavage in European politics is between the advocates of nation-states and revolutionary globalists pursuing neo-Marxist visions of international constructs in which democracy and freedom would be virtually extinct.
Second, both Hungarian and Polish conservatives agree that globalists are increasing their propensity to interfere financially as well as through the media and political institutions in our countries’ domestic affairs. Such interference proved a failure in Hungary in 2022, but unfortunately proved successful in Poland in 2023.
Third, Hungarian and Polish conservatives understand that the current trend of the EU taking a step back on migration or loosening rules targeting farmers is merely tactical on the part of European elites. This is also understood by the farmers and other groups, which have yet to unite in a way that would effectively block the changes being imposed by European elites.
Hungarians noted that their opposition in 2022, like the current ruling majority in Poland, wanted to suspend the constitution and rule by decree, safe in the knowledge that Brussels would not lift a finger to stop them.
Fidesz won, so this scenario never came to fruition, but they are testing the same strategy right now in Poland where the left, under the influence of Soros and his world vision, will initiate massive changes both culturally and in terms of mass migration.
Most important is the authoritarian and arbitrary takeover of successive institutions, which poses an important lesson for conservatives in the whole of Europe. It is also a lesson for the Republicans and Donald Trump’s movement.
The lessons from the Polish experience should enable Fidesz to show Hungarians that the EU establishment’s concern for the rule of law is totally fraudulent. Conservative governments are not given any elbow room, and they are sanctioned or blocked under any pretext, whereas the advocates of ever closer union and the cultural revolution can break any law and use force to achieve their ends.
We are learning more every day about the scale of resources dedicated to the external intervention in Poland’s election. There can be little doubt that a similar strategy will be attempted in Hungary, and there is no room for complacency just because Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has governed for longer.
The hate and moral panic campaign over the former Hungarian President Katalin Novak’s pardon of a pedophile shows that the left is still capable of stinging, and no one should underestimate the fatigue people may feel with a government that has been in power for such a long time, as Orbán has succeeded in doing.
In Poland, the conservatives are currently on the defensive, however, since Tusk has decided that a majority in parliament is enough to rule without any reference to laws or the constitution. Things will never be the same again; all future governments will now act in the same manner.
The old constitutional order has been swept away. The new order is brutally straightforward. If you have power, you use it, pushing the boundaries as far and as long as social resistance allows. No safeguards exist anymore. Liberals who are currently applauding Tusk should nevertheless be aware that his rule will not last forever and that when he is replaced, there will be no pussyfooting around, as was the case over the last eight years of conservative rule.
