Dear Mr. President of the Republic! Mr. Chairman! Rectors! Dear members of the Nemeskürty Family! Ladies and Gentlemen! Let me join in welcoming everyone to today's memorial ceremony! They say that there is a way for us, mere mortals to find immortality here on this world: it may be achieved by leaving a mark on the memories of others—because those who are remembered truly live on. Memorial days are tangible expressions of this kind of immortality. They are often linked to a historical event, date, or
Open Letter to the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Belgium
H.E. Mr. Bart De Wever Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Belgium Rue de la Loi 16 1000 Brussels, Belgium Budapest, May 14, 2025 Dear Prime Minister, As Chairman of the Board of Mathias Corvinus Collegium—one of Central Europe’s largest talent development institutions—I am writing to express my deep concern over recent efforts to intimidate an academic conference organized by MCC Brussels.

Hungary Won’t Bow to EU Pressure on Borders or Migration | GB News Interview
We're being fined one million euros per day – simply for protecting our borders.This isn’t a line from a political pamphlet – this is the current reality of Hungary’s position within the European Union. During my recent trip to London, I gave an interview to GB News, one of the UK’s newest news channels.

However,
Jewish News Syndicate – interview
Our world is experiencing fundamental changes. The neoliberal world order has failed, the balance of power is shifting, and a new era — the age of sovereignty — is unfolding. In this new order, only those countries can remain successful that have a unique political and economic system tailored to their own, respective societies, that are able to ensure stability and protect their independence.

“Family formation and the future” – Danube Institute: Family Formation and the Future conference 2025
"Family formation and the future” Budapest, April 2, 2025 Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Life often presents us with two equal paths, yet we instinctively choose one over the other. I experience this every time I visit Buda Castle from the underground parking lot. There, I have a choice: take the elevator to either the first floor or the second. I always choose the second floor. Rationally, it makes no sense—it’s an extra stop that doesn’t bring me any closer to my destination. And yet, I always take this
