Speaking at the 4th Budapest Demographic Summit in Hungary, President Trump’s former running mate was emotional in his appreciation for the country’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán, and other national leaders in attendance for their attempts to rebuild the family, observing that “the leaders of government who are gathered here… know strong families make strong communities, and strong communities make strong nations.”
Pence referenced many pressures facing the West, including the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, the economic ruin which resulted in its wake, and a “crisis of confidence as citizens lose trust in our traditional values, in our traditional institutions, and in leadership” — but all, he proposed, pale in comparison to the “crisis that strikes at the very heart of civilisation itself: the erosion of the nuclear family, marked by declining marriage rates, rising divorce, widespread abortion, and plummeting birth rates.”

“But the nations of Central and Eastern Europe, so well represented here, have heard these empty utopian promises before,” Pence observed.
“Many here still remember what it was like to live behind the Iron Curtain, to live under the oppressive fist of progressive tyranny, with its unworkable social experiments, and with thought police driving their agenda against the common sense and common values of the people,” he announced, commending the Hungarian “freedom fighters” who challenged Soviet communist domination in 1956.
