Hungarian organizers announced that former Prime Minister Morawiecki will speak at CPAC on April 26th, two days before the conference begins, with Gergely Gulyas speaking before him. Viktor Orbán himself will not attend; instead, Irakli Kobachidze of Georgia will open the event on April 25th, criticizing the West for trying to draw his country into a war with Russia and defending new anti-foreign agent laws modeled after Russian legislation. The conference in Budapest is an international branch of the American conservative gathering, attracting various right-wing activists and commentators, reflecting Orbán’s alignment with Trumpist ideals such as strong immigration policies and centralized leadership. Attendees include figures like Paul Gosar, who has questioned US aid to Ukraine, and Marek Kuchciński from Poland’s PiS party, alongside Fidesz leaders Mate Kocsis and Gavin Wax, who advocates for total war. Other participants include Gabor Kubatov, whose club is sponsored by Gazprom, and Ryszard Czarnecki of PiS, who views his presence as a mission to guide Hungarian allies toward a better path regarding Russia. Later, on April 27th, Czarnecki will speak at the MEGA conference in Bucharest with Jack Posobiec, alongside figures promoting misinformation. The text concludes by noting that while some Polish politicians plan to seek European coalition partners in Budapest, the overall list of attendees suggests a marginalized group and indicates Viktor Orbán’s isolation from the European mainstream.
