Shortly after Viktor Orbán’s annual press briefing ended, the Tisza Party held its own press conference on Monday. It was entitled: “The year 2025 and Tisza’s plans for the campaign and governance”. The speakers at Tisza’s event were party president Péter Magyar, Zoltán Tanács, head of Tisza’s program development and government preparation, and András Kármán, Tisza’s budget and tax policy expert.
**Magyar described Orbán’s morning press conference as “the fairy tales of a fallen prime minister”,** adding that Orbán did not talk about the actual problems Hungarians are facing, such as the bad state of roads and the problems of public health care.
According to Magyar, **they are aware that in this electoral system, Tisza must not only win, but must do so by a large margin. To this end, we will be on the streets a lot, and will be there to shake hands with those who have to worry about making ends meet at the end of each month**, he said.
Péter Magyar promised shocking stories, ones that will showcase what the country has become in recent years, as well as how neglected the countryside is, how Fidesz’s petty tyrants are keeping people in check in rural communities, “in other words, what the country has become in the last 16 years”, he said.
**We will show how our country can become a functioning and humane state. The Tisza Party is ready for regime change, and ready to govern,**” Magyar said.
The Tisza government will be one of peace, Magyar promised. According to him, the Tisza does not support the escalation of war or the reinstatement of mandatory military service, and anyone who claims otherwise is lying. He said that the Fidesz-KDNP coalition was in fact the only one that had ever advocated reinstating mandatory military service.
**Tisza is also opposed to decisions that would promote illegal migration. They do not support the EU’s migration pact and will keep the border fence in place, Magyar promised. However, unlike the Orbán government, Tisza will not be releasing human traffickers.**
**Regarding their foreign policy, Magyar said that they consider it important for Central Europe to be strong and for Hungary to be a stable and reliable member of the alliance systems**. “We can’t allow ourselves to be pushed to the sidelines when important decisions are being made,” he said. He said that they do not wish to see the Hungarian prime minister on the front pages of newspapers around the world for being “Europe’s bad boy.”
The Tisza president reiterated their promise to bring EU funds home. **They consider it important to develop close Central European relations and to strengthen the V4.**
Zoltán Tanács, head of Tisza’s program development and government preparation, said that they plan to have more ministries under a Tisza government than there are now. **According to him, areas which are especially important in the 21st century, which currently do not have their own ministries, such as artificial intelligence and digitalization would be given their own ministries**. He also added that there would be no super-ministries in the Tisza government, but that healthcare, for example, would have its own ministry (healthcare is currently overseen by the interior ministry – ed).
According to Magyar, if billions of forints had not been stolen from the Hungarian budget every year, the country’s financial situation would not be so bleak. He added that the Tisza intends to develop the Hungarian economy without a(n American) protective shield, by bringing EU funds home. I**n his opinion, a well-functioning country does not need a protective shield.**
According to András Kármán, Tisza’s budget and tax policy expert, they will have three priorities in the first 100 days in office: ensuring the unlocking of EU funds, implementing their tax and pension program, and reviewing the budget and putting it on a realistic footing.
When asked how the government’s policy on Ukraine will change if they come to power, **Magyar said that they hope that there will first be a ceasefire and peace in Ukraine, and then there will be a change of government and regime in Hungary**. According to the Tisza Party president, based on the current negotiations, it cannot be ruled out that a ceasefire or peace agreement will be reached before April, when Hungary’s parliamentary elections are due to be held.
The Tisza government will not veto Russian sanctions.

Even a chimpanzee would be better than the current corrupt bunch. This is where we are. This is where Hungary is. Go Tisza! If our idiot citizens vote for Fidesz again, I hope the EU will find a way to kick Hungary out.

Before someone asks:
* Yes, his last name is Magyar. Last names based on ethnicity/nationality is common in Hungary.
* The election will likely be held on April 12th.
