Ladies and gentlemen,
Europe today stands at a crossroads — not merely political or economic, but civilizational. We are confronting a deeper question: what sustains a civilization, and what happens when it forgets the sources of its own strength?
For centuries, Europe was shaped by two great forces: the moral vision of Christianity and the development of classical human rights. These were not accidental. They formed the backbone of Europe’s understanding of law, authority, dignity, and justice. They were lived realities that shaped laws, cultures, institutions, and the very concept of human dignity.
Yet today, many of these foundations are no longer confidently affirmed. In some cases, they are openly questioned or dismissed.
Bulgaria and the Civilizational Model of Europe
Consider Bulgaria. Founded in 681, it is one of the oldest European states to have preserved its name and identity across centuries. In the 9th century, under Boris I, Christianity was adopted as the state religion. This was not merely spiritual — it was civilizational.
The work of Cyril and Methodius and their disciples gave the Slavic world not only an alphabet, but a cultural and spiritual framework. Language, literacy, theology, and identity were woven into a durable civilizational fabric. Bulgaria aligned itself with a broader European transformation: a worldview in which law, morality, and authority were accountable to something higher than raw power.
This is what Europe once did at its best: it did not merely govern territory; it shaped cultures through meaning, education, and moral vision. Across the continent, rulers came to be seen as morally accountable. The idea that power must answer to justice became embedded in European consciousness.
This moral framework later intersected with Enlightenment thought, producing the modern language of rights, law, and human dignity that still shapes Europe today.
The building of the Council of Ministers
Sofia, April 1, 2026 - Thirteen Bulgarian evengelical churches and denominations are preparing to file a legal challenge before the Върховен административен съд (Supreme Administrative Court of Bulgaria) against specific provisions of newly adopted administrative Rules enacted by Order No. V-216/25.08.2025 of the Secretary General of the Council of Ministers.[1]
The challenged provisions introduce a system of prior administrative oversight over the participation of foreign religious ministers in worship and religious educational activities in Bulgaria. The Rules impose:
- requirements to justify the alleged “official necessity” of inviting a foreign religious minister;
- detailed notification obligations concerning the exact location and duration of religious activities;
- random administrative inspections of religious services;
- access by state authorities to internal registers of religious communities;
- administrative penalties for failure to comply with notification requirements;
- and the possibility of cross-border information requests regarding religious ministers.
According to the applicants, these measures go beyond statutory authority and effectively create a new legal regime through secondary legislation, without explicit parliamentary authorization.

Budapest, March 21, 2026 — CPAC Hungary 2026 brought together conservative political figures from Hungary and abroad in a highly stylized and politically charged event.[1] The conference, held just weeks before Hungary’s national elections, was marked by rally-like enthusiasm, with slogans such as “to victory” and “win baby win” setting a tone that combined traditional political discourse with elements of pop culture. The overall atmosphere underscored the high stakes for the ruling Fidesz party in the closely contested election race.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán delivered a brief and focused speech, criticizing the European Union for its excessive interference in national sovereignty. Orbán framed the upcoming elections as a decisive battle for Hungary’s independence, positioning Fidesz as the defender of democracy against external pressure from Brussels.

A moment from the meeting and the presentation of the speech
Artstetten, 15. Nov. 2025
By Prince Leo of Hohenberg, speech
I am honored to have been asked to speak a few words on the occasion of the commemoration of the assassination of my great grandparents, the first victims of World War One.
It is unfortunate that instead of speaking about the historic relevance of my ancestors, I feel I must take this opportunity to address such an illustrious and well-connected group of like-minded individuals, regarding the pretty dark times we are living in, and we should all do whatever we can in this spiritual battle of good against evil.
We are, once again, in the situation, where a centralised form of government and its powerful overreach, is completely detached from the people and from reality, in its obsessive desire to implement a utopian new world order.
It is therefore clear that everyone with any influence must get together and actively work on creating alternative networks to oppose the utopian ideologs and the warmongering military industrial influence in politics, media and current debates.
As Europeans with a common Christian heritage, we know that the Christian way is a call for the transformation of life not the affirmation of a utopian ideology and reckless selfdestructive tolerance.
It is therefore time to act and apply some practical resistance! And so, my purpose here today is to encourage all of you to create a counter-point to this.
My first appeal to you is to be loyal to your compatriots. Accept the truth that international organizations act mostly in their own interest and follow specific, predetermined agendas, which rarely reflect the voting public’s wishes. Governmental- and Nongovernmental Organizations are experts at concealing their agenda with a cloak of humanitarianism, which is actually the ultimate global Psy-Op.
What Karl Marx called the “run through the institutions” has been completed. The well-oiled machinery of shadow-structures behind the democratic facade, such as the UN, the Bank for International Settlements, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund among others, has been established and is fully functional, affecting every individual nation and its citizens.
