The review's introduction states: "The year 2023 has not been without its challenges... There were repeated attempts at character assassination, and court cases made our work difficult. Despite all of this, the Movement once again strived to accomplish its outstanding work for saving the nation in the past year. We have organized tours and camps, produced vlogs, continued to publish … while the 'Wolves' [a paramilitary corps] have not been idle either. And this is still only the tip of the iceberg."

Military Games, Honoring Nazis And Nazi-Allied Soldiers

The "Wolves," an outgrowth of the group that is said to be independent of it, conducted the first of many "defense of the homeland and survival training" sessions on January 27-29, 2023. The program included physical training and close combat with training weapons, as well as field training and orientation.

In February, from the 4^th to the 11^th, the group marked, with various events, the "Breakout" of Hungarian and German soldiers from the Buda Castle district in 1945 during the Soviet siege of Budapest. Activities included long-distance hikes in the winter cold as well as a commemorative event honoring German and Hungarian soldiers ("Fighting the Red Peril") at a military cemetery in the city of Székesfehérvár, Hungary.

The group issued a statement emphasizing the importance of self-defense in the face of antifa attacks during the "Breakout" events in Budapest. It also "drew attention to the responsibility of the authorities and the media," suggesting that the Breakout should be commemorated in every major city, as it is the case with the Trianon commemorations.

Anti-Abortion Demonstration, And Catholic Militantism

The group held a March 25, 2023 anti-abortion gathering on Marguerite Island in Budapest, together with two Italian militant groups.
