The national communities have been renewed in the last 12 years

From 2010 to 2014, they passed the "symbolic" laws on which they were able to build a strong foundation, and in the following years they were able to support prosperity in the homeland.

The government has renewed the national communities in the last 12 years, the state secretary responsible for national policy said on Tuesday on the current channel M1.

János Árpád Potápi said that from 2010 to 2014, they passed the "symbolic" laws on which they were able to build a strong foundation, and in the following years they were able to support prosperity in the homeland.

He also announced that the series of thematic years began in 2012: before last year it was the year of national unity, last year was the year of national renewal, and this year will be the year of the acting nation.

"This means that, as an active nation, we can have a lot of results behind us, but we must act now in order to be able to protect our results," emphasized the state secretary.

He added that the best national policy is the construction of an economically and morally strong Hungary, where the communities are also strengthened.

János Árpád Potápi called it an important result that around half a million Hungarian students have already visited an area across the border, so the children are aware that "the borders of the country and the nation do not coincide".

I consider the greatest achievement to be the fact that we have been able to significantly strengthen the feeling of national belonging in the Hungarian nation in recent years, said the State Secretary.

He also touched on the fact that around 1.2 million foreigners have already acquired Hungarian citizenship, so they have the right to participate in the Hungarian parliamentary elections.

In response to a question, he explained that the stakes of the spring parliamentary election are whether the national unification work that the government started in 2010 will continue, or whether it will be a return to the past and the institutional system created by this government will be destroyed.
