added a clarifying comment to the speech given by State Secretary Illés Boglárka at the 5th EuCET conference
"As an introduction: Very good article, I'm glad and thank you for reading it.
I consider the state secretary, dr. Illés Boglárka's speech, both in content and in style, although unfortunately we could not read (nor hear) the original English speech. However, I have a small comment. And it's not "looking for the lump" on my part. Because
I would have thought it more fortunate if, in the opening sentences, speaking of our 1000-year-old state, he had not said that it "grew out of the Judeo-Christian culture" Because I can say with certainty that Hungary did not grow out of it, but under its protective wings.
Thus, I would have phrased this sentence in a more nuanced way, with all due respect to the talented speaker. Maybe so
"it grew up in the Judeo-Christian culture" or that "it was able to become a stable country with the help of the Judeo-Christian culture."
Of course, I am aware that politically, this term he used is more effective, and therefore we can expect less backlash from our opponents, but the historical reality would have been more closely approximated by the "refinement" I described.
I completely agree with the ending following the quoted part of the sentence - as with the conclusion of the entire sentence. And I also consider this string of sentences lucky!
As I wrote next to my small comment, I can only congratulate this young politician for his full speech, and I wish him the best of luck in his professional years to come!"
