Orbán: “Hungarian Achievements Are Proof of Our Right to Exist”

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, speaking at the 35th anniversary congress of the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (RMDSZ), declared that the accomplishments of the Hungarian people affirm their right to exist. Referring to author László Krasznahorkai’s recent Nobel Prize in Literature, Orbán said, “The Nobel Prize is the Hungarians’ right to exist,” celebrating it as a symbol of national pride and cultural vitality.
Orbán emphasized that Hungary’s unity is built not on borders or bloodlines, but on shared language, culture, and history. He underscored the enduring contribution of Hungarians to global progress, naming figures such as István Széchenyi, János Neumann, and Puskás Öcsi as examples of a nation that “has given more to humanity than it has received.”
He praised RMDSZ for its consistent role in representing Hungarian interests and promoting stability across Hungary, Romania, and the European Union. Orbán described it as “a community of strategic importance,” whose influence comes from determination rather than size.
Addressing the future, Orbán urged Hungarians to act with purpose and preserve their cultural achievements. “The future belongs to those who act,” he said. “The Hungarian community in Transylvania proves that as long as people believe in their nation, it will endure and succeed.”
