Well, well, well! It appears we have an election season on our hands, folks, and you won’t believe what’s cooking in the Orbán kitchen! It’s the Hungarian national consultation, which sounds rather official, doesn’t it? More official than my last attempt to explain the concept of a tax return to my mum.
So, let’s discuss this national consultation, which, according to Viktor Orbán, is kicking off on Monday. Picture it: a bunch of Hungarians sitting around, pens poised, ready to tackle urgent questions about economic neutrality. You know, all those riveting topics nobody talks about at dinner parties! “Hey, Uncle István, would you like to weigh in on wage increases or is that too spicy for you?”
Now, as Mr. Orbán himself stated, “What Hungarians agree on, Hungary does!” That’s right, folks! If you get a consensus on whether pineapple belongs on pizza during this consultation, watch out! Next thing you know, it’s going to be the new national dish—“Pineapple Pörkölt” or something!
But moving right along, we learn that Mr. Orbán has confirmed migration will be on the agenda too. Because why not? Nothing says ‘let’s unite the nation’ like a hearty discussion on immigration policy. I can see it now: “Shall we take in more migrants, or shall we just send them all a postcard that says ‘Thanks, but no thanks’?!”
But let’s listen to the man of the hour: he’s all about “strengthening the foundations.” Foundations, eh? Sounds like he’s trying to cement his legacy, or maybe he wants a new patio while we’re at it!
Now, on a very serious note, Orbán is adamant that the only thing he can bring to the table is the will of the Hungarian people. And look, I admire that. It’s all about the people, right? It’s just a shame the priorities of ‘the people’ can sometimes look more like a game of Monopoly than a coherent policy plan.
Finally, let’s ponder the real kicker—what’s on the horizon? According to Máté Kocsis, there’s going to be talk of business promotion and housing measures. So, if you’re looking to buy a house or promote your business in Hungary, congratulations! You now have permission to throw your ambitions into this national consultation circus.
In conclusion, it’s a mixed bag of hopes, banter, and maybe a little bit of Hungarian spice—just like a good gulyás! So let’s sit back, grab some snacks, and see how this all unfolds. Just remember: the last time people had a national consultation, they ended up with a quirky national anthem. Let’s hope for a catchy tune this time too!

The new set of questions may be about economic neutrality, wage increases, business promotion and housing measures.
“What Hungarians agree on, Hungary does! Fill it in yourself,” Viktor Orbán posted with these words that the latest national consultation will start on Monday.
The Fidesz faction proposed the consultation to the government in October. Group leader Máté Kocsis said at the time that the new set of questions could be about economic neutrality, wage increases, business promotion and housing measures.
Gergely Gulyás later confirmed on government information that the proposal was accepted. Balázs Hidvéghi, the parliamentary state secretary of the Prime Minister’s Cabinet Office, later added that migration will also be discussed, but the exact questions have not been made public so far.
Viktor Orbán said in his Friday morning radio interview that the government’s goal is to strengthen the foundations.
“I cannot refer to our military strength, the “huge” Hungarian population, the overwhelming Hungarian national product. I can refer to only one thing in these struggles: the will of the Hungarian people. And if the Hungarian people say that yes, we need economic neutrality and an independent Hungarian economic policy based on that, and we use the sources of higher growth to achieve higher wages and manage home creation, then I can defend this,” he added.
