📚 It was a pleasure to meet with Emmanuel Todd today, a renowned French historian whose work I hold in high regard.

We spoke about the moral & societal decline of the West, a trend which will have dire consequences. In his view, Hungary stands out by holding firm to its sovereignty and resisting external pressure.

He’ll expand on these timely and thought-provoking ideas tomorrow at his “Europe at a Crossroads” presentation in Budapest. Welcome to Hungary, Professor!

It is an illusion that we are done with communism forever, because the communists are still here among us, said @schmidtmariaHU

23 years ago today @terrorhaza opened as a monument to the memory of those held captive, tortured and killed in this building.

The museum, while presenting the horrors in a tangible way, also intends to make people understand that the sacrifice for freedom was not in vain.

Ultimately, the fight against the two cruellest systems of the 20th century ended with the victory of the forces of freedom and independence.

Angela Merkel was an emotionless, heartless, cold, cruel, pragmatic and vindictive political operator. She did not truly lead Germany, or Europe, because she lacked the necessary imagination, creativity and commitment. She managed things. My latest oped @brusselssignal

Hungary made an unorthodox decision when giving political significance to the otherwise awfully dull rotating presidency. It ignored bureaucratic expectations and made politics instead, to give the EU a chance for renewal.

A lawyer and a poet. A Romanian and a Hungarian. Two fates, two walks of life that could’ve diverted them, or even turn them against each other. In this long-suffering corner of the world, here in Central Europe, a thousand times ravaged, robbed and destroyed, the destinies of these two men headed in the same direction. History has found them both. They were bound together by their love of freedom and their hatred of dictatorships, against which they both fought. One with the weapons of art, the other with the those of law. And their weapons, their words, proved to be more powerful than Ceaușescu's machine-gunned and interrogating henchmen. Congratulations to Előd Kincses and Mircea Dinescu, the winners of the 2024 Petőfi Prize!

József Szájer and I’ve known each other for decades. I’ve always appreciated his work both as a politician and a lawyer. His knowledge as an analyst and consultant is much needed not only by the 21st Century Institute, but Hungary too.

We presented József Szájer's book entitled Frontline.

[Mária Schmidt @schmidtmariaHU]

This museum is about a great man and a great team, for whom serving their country was of utmost importance. We wanted to show Puskás in a way that we simultaneously show Hungary too. Because if somewhere in the world the name Puskás is mentioned, the reply is Hungary.

Today, on the Day of Hungarian Football, we have officially opened Puskás Museum.

It is not my intention to provoke, but to raise questions and make others wonder. To refuse accepting the simple answer that is being pushed down our throats!
