We Hungarians have learned in the last hundred years that we can only truly win if no one in Central Europe and the Carpathian basin loses, László Kövér said on Monday at the handover of the memorial to the displaced Hungarians in Somorja in the Uplands.
The President of the National Assembly stated that the nations of Central Europe cannot assert their national interests by relying on the goodwill of the great powers, regardless of each other, and especially considering each other as rivals.
"We do not believe that they will be able to survive as a nation and preserve their freedom, culture and sovereign states by resisting the pressure of global background powers that intend to reduce even the great powers to mere tools," the politician declared. László Kövér pointed out that only the cooperating Central European national states can defend against the globalist attacks aimed at the spiritual and moral disintegration of their societies, so that their citizens can preserve their gender, family, religious and national identity, and thus the national states retain their right to exist in the future.

He followed our Jewish compatriots, with a parliamentary resolution condemning the expulsion of the Germans from their homeland in Hungary, and declared the beginning of the resettlement of Hungarians from the highlands as a national day of remembrance, László Kövér declared. Within the regional cooperation framework of the Visegrád Four - and beyond - Hungary strives for a confidence-building policy with its partners in the region, which enables the most difficult open issues to be mutually acceptable in interstate relations, said the politician.
He added that, thanks to this, Hungary and Serbia came close to being able to end the 20th century, burdened with mutual conflicts, not only in political statements, but also in their souls. century past.
Based on all of this, we have reason to be confident that this policy will find more followers and supporters, and we also have a moral basis to wait with gentle but steadfast patience for the gesture of apology and reparation for the crimes committed against the Hungarians in the past, for the sake of the peace of the generations that come after us - with these words László Kövér concluded his speech.
