Regarding the recent flood protection activities that defended the country from the largest Danube flood in recorded history, the Prime Minster declared that the huge and successful cooperation had also demonstrated that Hungarians can collaborate. He said that it had become clear to all what we are capable of in a crisis situation.

The Prime Minister expressed that the country had done a lot over the past three years, mentioning as examples the overhaul of the education and pension systems, adding that although we may still not enjoy a living standard that we aspire to, but the criminals are in jail, the marching of paramilitary organisations has been banned, and financial matters have been settled.

Concerning the pro-rata implementation of the Government programme, the Prime Minister stated that work is being performed according to the programme and the Government's rate of performance with regard to their election promises is already at 70-80 percent in most fields.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán pointed out that the task of the modern media is to help reorganise declining communities irrespective of what stakeholders and people in power may think. He also added that he expects an exciting, proper and strong election campaign, emphasising that he also likes this part of his job, since elections are the celebration of democracy.
