Prime Minister Viktor Orbán will hold a state of the nation speech on 16 February in Budapest's Várkert and "is preparing to make large-calibre announcements including a new economy protection action plan and further measures to support families," the daily Magyar Nemzet reported.

Orbán will probably discuss the measures to be announced with the governing parties at an offsite session of the Fidesz parliamentary group  on 12 and 13 February, according to the paper.

The Fidesz–KDNP ruling coalition is coming on a milestone as it has been in government for 10 years, so the prime minister is expected to sum up all the ways Hungary has developed since 2010, Magyar Nemzet said. According to sources, the speech will also touch on current issues that are "against Hungarians' sense of justice", as recent government communications have phrased it, including the prison business and the compensation to be paid to minorities in Gyöngyöspata.
