The fourth CPAC Budapest opened today with speeches by director Matt Schlapp, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, and the Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Kobakhidze. US speakers include Rep. Abe Hamedeh, New York Young Republicans head Gavin Wax, Trump attorney John Eastman and YouTubers Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, Dave Rubin, and Jack Posobiec.
International stars set to speak in the next two days include Dutch Freedom Party Leader Geert Wilders, German AfD party head Alice Weidel, former British PM Liz Truss, former Australian PM Tony Abbott, Slovak PM Robert Fico, the head of the Spanish Vox party Santiago Abascal, the head of the Austrian Freedom party Herbert Kickl, and Dutch influencer Eva Vlaardingeerbroek.
The event began with a prayer and the singing of the Hungarian and US national anthems.
In his opening speech, organizer Miklos Szantho praised President Donald Trump for “having Hungary’s back” and criticized the “globalists in Brussels” who want to cut Hungary’s funding. “We think the EU should stand for peace, and not for letting countries in that will cause war.” Szantho announced the dawn of an “Age of Patriots”, the motto of this year’s CPAC Budapest.
CPAC and Donald Trump had normalized an idea started by Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán, host Matt Schlapp of the American Conservative Union said: “That a country needs secure borders. Before Trump, we were told that was racist.”
After “four years of Joe Biden, two wars and a broken economy”, Schlapp had asked Trump why he wanted to run for President again. Trump was convinced “we won’t have a country” if he didn’t run again, Schlapp said.

I like that dude. Wish we would hand over soros Inc. to him.
Back in the 80s in high school, sometimes were graced by a 🇭🇺 Hungarian substitute teacher. She was awesomeness. Nobody ditched that class when she was there. Other teachers would attend. She always embedded the dangers of communism when she taught. Cool lady.
It was Hungary that began the tipping of the dominoes in 1989 which led to the fall of the Berlin Wall by opening up the border between Hungary and Austria so East Germans could escape to West Germany thus rendering the wall moot. For those of us born in the post war Cold War era there was no bigger political event than that. Hungary hadn’t forgotten 1956.
