| 00:13 | Dear friends, I am really sorry I cannot be there with you in Budapest. | |
| 00:18 | Firstly because every time I visit it, I enjoy its beauty and hospitality; | |
| 00:22 | and secondly, because CPAC Hungary has become | |
| 00:26 | one of European patriots’ and conservatives’ major venues. | |
| 00:31 | As you know, in Spain we are going to hold local and regional elections soon, | |
| 00:36 | whose importance is vital to the future of our fatherland. | |
| 00:40 | Our economy, our unity, our traditions, our freedom and our safety | |
| 00:44 | are in jeopardy, because of our government, | |
| 00:48 | which stands for the worst left-wing in Europe. A good result | |
| 00:51 | obtained on this election date will be crucial to create an alternative, | |
| 00:55 | one that can eradicate Socialists’ and Communists’ totalitarian policies. | |
| 01:00 | That is why my duty and my sense of commitment urge me to remain in Spain. | |
| 01:05 | I am convinced that this day in Budapest will help strengthen the ties that bring us together, | |
| 01:10 | in order to predict the diagnosis of the situation our European countries are experiencing, | |
| 01:16 | and also the countries on the other side of the Atlantic, | |
| 01:19 | from the US to our brotherly nations of Ibero-America, | |
| 01:22 | that we should care about and help in their struggle to oust Communism. | |
| 01:29 | But predicting is not enough. We need to offer an alternative which needs, | |
| 01:33 | without doubt, to look at the examples coming from Hungary, Poland or Italy. | |
| 01:38 | Because Europe is asking us for a path to its own survival. | |
| 01:41 | The path of the Europe of Nations versus the forced federalization. | |
| 01:45 | The path of sovereignty versus the bureaucrats and the technocrats that nobody elected. | |
| 01:50 | The path of freedom versus meddling and impositions. | |
| 01:54 | The path of prosperity versus sacrificing our industry and our agriculture. | |
| 01:59 | The path, basically, of community and roots versus globalism. | |
| 02:04 | The path of law and order versus massive and illegal immigration. | |
| 02:08 | That’s how we can preserve and pass on to our children all the things we love. | |
| 02:13 | You already know that united, we are stronger. | |
| 02:16 | And together, we will win. Forward, patriots and conservatives of Europe. |
