"Make this country your finger." (Sandor Petofi)

In the decade left behind us, every government of Viktor Orbán, earning the support of two-thirds of the electorate, tried to put the country in order from a public law and economic point of view, granted citizenship to Hungarians living abroad, and operates a family support system that is envied worldwide and protects our children. In the meantime, new ones came along with the old problems, of which only the most important ones are:

In the Russian-Ukrainian war, we unanimously took a stand for peace, condemning Russian aggression. We condemn bloodshed, as well as violent, illegal immigration. We can only partially offset the harmful effects of globalism - primarily by consciously conveying value. In addition to preserving our national cultural heritage, we consider this to be the case for maintaining and increasing the country's water resources, protecting water quality, and providing the population with healthy food free of harmful substances. (This is primarily the task of agriculture, not increasing profit.) Our country has been part of Europe for more than a thousand years. As a member of the European Union, we consider it necessary to create a bridge based on these two pillars by accepting the values ​​and relations of East and West. Europe has now developed a culture that has excluded God from public thinking in a way previously unknown to humanity, either by completely denying it, or by judging its existence as unprovable, uncertain, therefore belonging to the realm of subjective decisions, as something that is completely insignificant for public life. This causes confusion of moral conscience.

We are convinced that the corrupted political morality can be improved by culture, and that our mother tongue can be the most important tool for national unity. Our age is one of communication, so the responsibility of the Hungarian press is enormous. We consider it important to be informed first-hand and authentically about all international opinions concerning our country. The danger is especially great in the field of teaching, morality and culture in general.

Although everything can be considered an internal matter, our physical, mental and spiritual health would be better served by a ministry of education in line with Hungarian traditions. In our opinion, it more successfully raises awareness that the most important value from the point of view of the individual and society is the constructive way of life, which determines the future of the individual and society, and contributes to the harmonious functioning of society and the economy in a Christian and national spirit.

Questions of duty, justice, and freedom could also be clarified for the political opposition: when do their actions become anti-national. In addition to knowing the value of knowledge, faith, art, and morality, and the example of our predecessors, the family and the nation-state are the sustaining force.

Science, art, morality, literature, the alliance of faith and reason have a decisive role. We expect our leaders to be national educators and soul shapers. Today, there is still a general consensus that school is the most important field for acquiring education. Quoting the thought of József Eötvös: whether politics or the economy takes precedence, the most important, the decisive, is the fate of our schools. This is the answer to our millennial question in Advent 2022, what can we do for our country? The peace of our nation also depends on straws, but in the words of Gáspár Nagy:

"...hope never dies,/
if every last straw/
IS FROM THAT MANNER! "
