In the over 30 years since the regime change in Hungary, there nation has witnessed a remarkable change in its political, social, and cultural consistency. This period has also been witness to a sustained period of political dominance by Viktor Orbán and his Christian democracy. Orbán's politics has sought in various ways to compete against the trope that Hungary is a meagre, developing European nation by seeking to counter the narrative of marginalisation through restoration. This paper argues that this national recovery is typified in the Preamble to the Hungarian Fundamental Law, where claims to a Christian history, culture, and politics intersect in order to promote a resurgent counter narrative that rejects Hungary as a small Me nation amongst global superpowers. Through the redrafting of the Constitution, Orbán and Fidesz sought to create a new national identity that seeks to reclaim the past in order to reject what they regarded as a marginalised national identity perpetuated by previous governments. In understanding how Orbán's politics understands Hungary's place in history and on the global stage, greater understanding can be gleaned at the future of global politics where national subsidiarity challenges beliefs about global hegemony.
