Hungary's Orban Rails Against Liberalism, LGBTQ Rights at CPAC
- Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban likened liberalism to a "virus" in his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Budapest.
- Orban focused on battling "woke culture" and hot-button cultural topics such as transgender and LGBTQ+ rights, migration, and education for children.
- Orban urged his international audience to focus on "no migration, no gender, no war" in their own countries.
- Orban has been accused of eroding press freedoms and rolling back democratic checks and balances in Hungary.
- The CPAC Hungary conference was the latest embrace of Orban by the U.S. right-wing movement.
