The State Secretary of the Prime Minister's Office for National Policy spoke about this in Gyergyószárhegy, where he participated in the inauguration of a scout monument and received the St. George award of the Romanian Hungarian Scout Association (RMCSSZ). In his celebratory speech, the state secretary explained: in 2021, the year of the national re-start, we can talk about a strengthening Hungarian nation.
He stated: it is possible to recover from any difficult situation, but this requires work, faith and hope.
"If we have this in our hearts, if we can work, if we do everything, the Hungarian resurrection will not be left behind"
said the state secretary.
János Árpád Potápi recalled: scouting is still perhaps the world's largest organization for children and youth. It has 40 million members in more than 200 countries around the world and work for a common goal. It tries to lead children and young people to appreciate their spiritual and spiritual values and to become active adults.
He noted: the Hungarian scout movement played a significant role in the fact that Hungarians scattered around the world or outside the borders of Hungary were able to preserve their identity. It served and serves to create a society that educates committed, responsible young people who protect their environment, pay attention to the well-being and development of their nation, and preserve their Christian faith.
Lajos Loránt Bálint, president of the RMCSSZ, told MTI after the event: a monument was erected in the square in front of the Gyergyószárhegy school in honor of the fact that the Romanian Hungarian Scout Association was founded in this settlement 31 years ago. The memorial inauguration was planned for last year, but it was not possible then due to the epidemic situation.
The recently inaugurated monument incorporates the headstones that were erected every five years on the anniversary of its foundation into a spatial sculpture. He noted: the St. George award is given every five years to personalities or institutions that have provided significant help to the Hungarian scouting movement in Romania.
This year, along with State Secretary János Árpád Potápi, it was awarded to Szilárd Szatmári, a Reformed pastor from Csikszereda, to whom they owe their scouting center and office in the building of the Reformed Church in Csikszereda for nearly ten years.
