In his annual State of the Nation Address, the Hungarian Prime Minister called President Novák's resignation a great loss for Hungary, but also spoke about the government's plans for 2024, and why sharing one's purse with others is not a good idea.
Invited guests walked in to hear the Prime Minister's 25th Annual State of the Nation Address between cordons on Saturday afternoon, in Budapest's Várkert Bazár. Among them were several Hungarian celebrities, but the independent press was not allowed in. Viktor Orbán spoke briefly about the resignations of Katalin Novák and Judit Varga, but did not mention Zoltán Balog. As usual, he criticised Brussels, but said he was keen to see Donald Trump return to the presidency in the United States.
