Hungary is a small and often overlooked country, but it has been a subject of curiosity and criticism in the international arena.

Its distinctive language, distinct cultural identity, and conservative policies have drawn both praise and condemnation from the global community.

However, to truly understand Hungary, we need to go beyond the filtered narratives of mainstream media and explore the nation first-hand.

On The Ezra Levant Show, we delve into Hungary's unique stance on national identity and population growth, shedding light on its policies and their potential implications.

Hungary's distinctiveness is evident in its language, which stands apart from the linguistic cousins of English.

This linguistic barrier, along with the country's relatively small population of 10 million, contributes to the limited exposure the world has to Hungary's perspective.

Consequently, most information about the nation is perceived through the lens of media outlets that often carry their own globalist, environmentalist, and cultural agendas.

Critics argue that Hungary's policies may not align with progressive Western ideals, but they are grounded in the nation's history, psychology, and aspirations.

The country's past, including times of territorial vulnerability, has shaped its national psyche, leading to a strong desire to preserve their unique identity.

Hungary's focus on economic incentives for families is empowering women to choose to stay at home and nurture their families, offering an alternative to the traditional workplace-bound model.

Its approach stands in stark contrast to prevailing globalist notions that insist on immigration as a solution to demographic challenges. Instead, it is pioneering a path focused on national preservation, demonstrating that there are diverse approaches to addressing societal issues.


GUEST: Istvan Kiss, Executive Director of The Danube Institute
