The minister in charge of the Prime Minister's Office also sometimes shines his humor in the often marathon-long government briefings. It was no different this time either, as the politician stylistically said that "Because of personal involvement, I especially like the work A vén gulyás or A vén gulyás temetése. "
Then he added:
I can mention several favorite poems by János Arany, in addition to the well-known A walesi bardok or Letészem a lute, I really like his poem Emlények, Transylvania or the ballad Hamis tanú , and I could go on and on about his well-known and lesser-known works, which they stand by me
he said.
"A glass of wine in his hand,
His wine flows, his hands tremble,
Old goulash sits on the armchair
It reminds me of bygone times."

István Simicskó
The faction leader from the Alföld, Tiszalök, highlighted Sándor Petőfi's poem Alföld, about a region dear to his heart.
I really like the way the poet describes the landscape in detail and makes it truly experiential, which is especially precious to me and dear to my heart
- said the KDNP politician.
"Let the lowland be a sea plain in the countryside
That's where I'm from, that's where my world is
My eagle soul freed from its prison,
If I see the infinity of the runes"

Eszter Vitalios
The favorite poem of the Deputy Minister of Culture and Innovation is Élet by Endre Ady.
"One or two fools walk around in the crowd,
Fools for sure, fools beyond measure,
So far I have followed their example,
Then I will do it differently, I
will open my soul and heart to the market,
I will also sell all my treasures...
...But I don't have the strength to become so miserable ,
Oh, I have no strength, my dear God!…”
