In Hungary, unifying various political ideologies—classical liberals, libertarians, and religious conservatives—is essential to counteract political opponents who dominate institutions and media. Hungary, with a rich history of fighting for sovereignty, values its national identity and traditions. The government, led by conservatives, emphasizes freedom of speech and pluralism, while also advocating for family values and population growth to preserve Hungarian culture. The rise of woke ideology, perceived as a neo-Marxist threat, has prompted Hungary to enact legislation against gender ideology in schools, resulting in overwhelming public support during a recent referendum. Hungary's immigration policy prioritizes ethnic Hungarians and Ukrainian refugees, while resisting illegal immigration from other regions. The government argues that unchecked immigration threatens national identity. Amidst rising energy prices due to the Ukraine conflict, Hungary calls for peace talks to resolve the war, emphasizing the need for national sovereignty and media ownership to combat censorship and foreign influence.
