The AfD’s Irmhild Bossdorf posted on X saying: “Budapest, a pearl of Europe! A city steeped in history, culture, and aesthetics. And: with sensible politics. A truly rare combination. Together with my ESN colleagues, we will be staying in Budapest until tomorrow. Exchange, expertise, networking! For a better Europe.”
Budapest, eine Perle Europas!
Eine Stadt voller Geschichte, Kultur und Ästhetik. Und: mit vernünftiger Politik. Eine fürwahr seltene Kombination.
Gemeinsam mit meinen ESN-Kollegen verweilen wir noch bis morgen in Budapest.

Slovak MEP Milan Uhrík has left a video post on social media, where he summed up his experience saying: “Let me thank you for all the work that the Hungarian nation is doing for defending our family values, for defending our borders, our true European way of life. In Hungary you are used to when you see a delegation from Brussels, you are seeing some crazy guys who are going to lecture you, criticize you. We are sovereigntist, we come here as friends. We should definitely deepen our cooperation in the future because without cooperation we will not be able to achieve our goals, and none of us will be able to beat UDL alone. It is our goal to defeat the system which is ruling in Brussels right now, which is destroying Hungary, which is destroying Slovakia, Germany and other countries. And (we aim) to create a real Europe of sovereign nations.”
The ESN sums up its mission statement on their website as follows:
“European civilisation is in peril. Misguided policies, globalist agendas, wokeist ideologies, and passivity towards the intrusion of political Islam are destined to deprive the peoples of Europe of the only place in the world they have to call home. We are determined to never let that happen. Rooted in Greco-Roman as well as biblical traditions and the achievements of science, we are committed to the preservation of our European cultures and their native identities.”

They continue by affirming that “In the context of a rapidly changing world, we firmly stand by the idea of a Europe of homelands: a European community of sovereign, democratic nation states that work together in peace for the benefit of their peoples, in all areas that can be better managed together. We advocate the maintenance of a common market but seek to reduce bureaucracy and firmly oppose the building of a European unitary state. International crises must no more be misused – as it has happened consistently since the global financial crisis in 2008 – to advance an EU superstate…
Uncontrolled mass immigration reshapes our homelands in disastrous ways. We consider this migration to be an existential threat to the European nations. Nothing but cooperation at the European level will enable us to effectively protect our external borders – to create a true Fortress Europe – and stop the inflow of illegal immigrants into our countries.
We oppose the implementation of LGBTQ- and diversity-agendas as guiding principle for future generations, but promote the traditional family, consisting of father, mother, and children. In this manner, we are also combating Europe’s demographic decline…”
