Ader: Hungary must stick to 'St Stephen's Western culture'
August 20th, 2018
Hungary must insist on "the Western culture King Saint Stephen tied our future to", President Janos Ader said in his address marking Hungary's August 20 national holiday on Monday. Speaking at the oath taking ceremony of young military officers, Ader quoted author Sandor Marai and said that "Hungary could only survive in a new Europe with quality in the focus; we are not in a position to be mediocre". Addressing the young officers, Ader said that "St. Stephen gave us a Hungarian heart and European conscience" and added that the 11th century king had been "aware that peace is conditional on preserving Western civilisation".
