Viktor Orbán calls for resistance and outlines post‑politics plans

Former Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán addressed supporters at the Tusnádfürdő (Băile Tușnad) summer forum, urging his Fidesz party to intensify a “national resistance” against the newly elected government of Peter Madár. He claimed the new administration lacks the competence to govern, warned of an imminent energy crisis caused by high prices and shortages, and predicted that the European Union will not exist in its present form within 25 years. Orbán also stressed that he will remain Fidesz leader as long as he is able and his supporters do not demand his retirement.

In a separate interview, Orbán said that after he finally leaves frontline politics he would work at the football academy he founded, spend time with his six grandchildren, and resume teaching as a guest lecturer. He described these activities as his preferred way to stay useful to society once his political career ends.
