Hungaricums play an important role in strengthening national self-esteem, the speaker of the parliament said at an event.
One of the goals of the law on Hungarian national values and Hungaricums passed by parliament in 2012 has been to propel “national self-esteem” to victory over “national defeatism” according to the President of the Parliament, László Kövér. “We wished that national self-esteem would win more than just a battle; we wanted it to win the war against national defeatism,” he said at the event highlighting Hungaricums, unique Hungarian products. “In this long-fought war, not only is Hungarians’ self-esteem at stake, but so is their sense of values,” Mr. Kövér said.
