Countries of the Visegrad Group "see it as their mission to set an example to Europe in terms of demography", Katalin Novak, Hungary's minister without portfolio in charge of family affairs, said on Thursday. Speaking at an online conference attended by her Slovak, Czech, and Polish counterparts, Novak said that the four countries "refuse to give up their future and culture". No European country sees a sufficient number of births, and "though their population is growing, that growth comes from mass immigration," she insisted.
