Govt official: Hungarian governance rooted in Judeo-Christian values

Hungarian governance is rooted in Judeo-Christian values, a government official told a conference on anti-Semitism in Budapest on Monday. Tristan Azbej, the state secretary responsible for aiding persecuted Christians, addressed the conference Anti-Semitism: Appearance and Reality, held at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Yacov-David Hadas Handelsman, Israel's ambassador to Budapest, noted Hungary has the largest Jewish community in central Europe, "and its members can walk down the street safely, while its institutions are working well".
