#Orban, der Hauptredner der Veranstaltung, stellte seinen 12 Punkte Plan bei seiner Eröffnungsrede vor: „Hungary first, America first“, so der Slogan des nationalistischen ungarischen Ministerpräsidenten. 3/x
And now here's a breakdown of the political parties and leaders represented at this year's #CPACHungary.
All of them are far-right Christian nationalists with ties to youth paramilitary organizations, Neo-Nazi groups and have espoused "white European great replacement" theory.

Jordan Bardella of National Rally is the right hand man of Marine Le Pen. He was previously involved with Generation Identitaire, a group banned in FR for neo-Nazi activity and hate crimes. They claim to fight against "white European great replacement" and support remigration.
Tom Van Grieken, the current head of the Vlaams Belang Party in Belgium, has stated that "White should be a dominant factor in our society" and that Flanders should be white and Christian. His party has been tied to neo-Nazi discords/symbolism and summer youth paramilitary camps.
In my research of the people and organizations taking center stage at this year's #CPACHungary....I found the disturbing trend.
Unlike the firebrands of previous years, this year focuses on Christian nationalist legal experts with experience in using the courts

Center for Fundamental Rights calls LGBTQ equality "sick" and has worked with Orban's government to design laws that outlaw marriage, adoption and recognition of transgendered individuals. They've also worked on anti-abortion laws to "strengthen the family" and protect children.
Viktor Orban's Fidesz Party has promoted anti-Semitic crops, glorified historical figures responsible for killing Hungarian Jews during WW2, emboldened paramilitary groups. Loyal party leaders have called for the registration of all Jews in Hungary as well.
As @CPAC’s first conference in Europe is underway, with conservatives assembling from across Europe and around the globe, the Leftist media launched a coordinated smear campaign on conservative leaders on both sides of the Atlantic.
We must be doing something right.
@CPAC exists to defend the sovereignty and dignity of every individual. Our mission is to increase freedom and opportunity across the globe, including for those living under socialist and Communist regimes.

To hear the condescending whines from socialist boosters in the media like the @guardian, however, you would be led to believe that CPAC stood for something very different.
1/ #CPACHungary is back in full authoritarian force today. Yesterday, we let you know about some of the American media personalities that chose to align themselves with Intolerant Viktor Orban. Today, let’s talk about American Members of Congress.
2/ @MarioDB represents Florida’s 25th Congressional District, so what is he doing over 5,000 miles away in Hungary? He accuses others of appeasing dictators in Cuba and Venezuela, but seems to have no issue when it comes to spending time with Viktor Orban.
3/ @RepAndyHarrisMD is another Member of Congress who seems to have lost his way. Harris’ family emigrated from Eastern Europe after WWII, but it doesn’t seem like he’s interested in bringing American-style democracy to Hungary if he’s comfortable associating with Orban.
Just an update on #CPACHungary. As far as I can tell, no journalists from any US media outlet have been allowed entry to the event. Reporters from @voxdotcom @RollingStone and @NewYorker along with myself were all denied entry this morning.
Representatives from @CPAC blamed their Hungarian colleagues who organized press accreditation. When asked if they were OK with no US media outlets being allowed in, they said: "You can watch it online."
Matt Schlapp, the head of the ACU, was asked why no independent media was allowed into the event, and he said he didn't understand the words "independent media." #CPACHungary
Heading to Budapest today to cover #CPACHungary where American conservatives will come to learn how to be better conservatives by listening to authoritarian Hungarian leader Victor Orban, who will give the keynote speech
At least the weather in Budapest is better
#CPACHungary is taking place in a newly built shopping centre/conference centre know locally as "The Whale"
