Speaking to RMDSZ delegates, PM Orbán described the Hungarian nation as a community bound not merely by geography or blood, but by “a shared language, culture, history, and spirit.” The prime minister stressed that this spiritual and cultural unity has carried the Hungarian people through centuries of division and challenges.
“The Hungarian nation is not defined by borders. It lives wherever Hungarian is spoken, wherever Hungarian children are raised, wherever our traditions and faith are kept alive,” the prime minister said.
PM Orbán praised the RMDSZ as more than a minority organization—calling it a “strategic partner” that ensures Hungarian representation and stability in Romania, credibility in Brussels, and trust in Budapest. “The RMDSZ is not simply a local political movement. It is a key part of the greater Hungarian strategy for survival and prosperity,” he said, noting that its work in maintaining cultural autonomy and political presence has long been recognized as essential to Hungarian national policy.
Looking ahead to the April 2026 elections, the prime minister made an explicit appeal for the participation of the Hungarian communities in Transylvania. “When the time comes, the homeland will need you,” he said. His remark was widely interpreted as both a gesture of unity and a call for political mobilization among ethnic Hungarians holding dual citizenship, who are eligible to vote in Hungarian national elections.
PM Orbán emphasized that unity must be proven through action, not just words. “We can’t just look around and wait for others to act. The future will not be given to us—it must be built, step by step, together,” he stated, calling on Hungarian communities abroad to “stand together for the nation’s future.”
