Viktor Orban delivered his annual speech on the State of the Nation on February 17. The Hungarian Prime Minister paid tribute to the President of the Republic, Katalin Novak.

Novak resigned after the indignation caused by his decision to pardon a convict involved in a child crime case. “ Hungary first ”: this is Viktor Orban’s slogan, a slogan copied from that of his role model, Donald Trump. Not once did he say the word “Russia” and if he mentioned Ukraine, it was to accuse Brussels of encouraging war.
