Conservative forces respect the right to asylum, as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but reject unregulated immigration and open borders.

Despite the different—and certainly debatable—approaches and priorities in specific policy areas, the fundamental objectives of conservative parties largely align.

Strategic autonomy is a key factor for Hungary and most European states. A unified European response to external pressures that respects the sovereignty and economic prosperity of its member states is of outmost importance. Naturally, strong Transatlantic ties will and should remain a cornerstone of European foreign- and security policy, alas these should be based on mutual interests and partnerships and not on one-sided dependence. Only a strong Europe can be of real value on the long run for the United States.
