And the EU presidency center is now here, “half of the parliament, half of the government and the prime minister will also be here”.

David Campanale, one of the founders of the Bálványosi Summer Free University, also spoke at the opening. At the beginning of his speech, he covered his right ear, thus referring to the attack on US presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Tibor T. Toró, the vice-president of the Hungarian Association of Transylvania explained, “on the right track” means that the organizers of Tusványos are looking for constant renewal, striving for the better. “It’s not that easy, but if we have been consistent in something over the past 35 years, at the opening of the 33rd event, it was this effort,” underlined Tibor T. Toró, adding that more and more of their inner energy must be mobilized in order to remain themselves. as free, self-aware citizens of the region and as a national community that wants to shape its own destiny.

Reason is more and more often at a loss, the effort to understand each other, as one of the basic values ​​of Tusvány, is also increasingly losing the battle to impatience

– opined the vice-president of the Transylvanian Hungarian Association, who listed several sets of questions: how will there be peace in our environment, what will the European Union be like during the Hungarian presidency, what will happen to the Hungarians abroad in the clash of strong nation-states, how can national political aspects be enforced in party political battles , and finding inner peace and keeping the planet livable.

“There can be no normal politics without critical thinking”

Zsolt Németh he also covered his right ear before his opening speech. “This symbol is drama. It may have happened that they shot at Donald Trump, the US presidential candidate, with a premeditated, ideological, political intention. It is a tragedy that the same thing happened a few weeks earlier in Slovakia, when the Slovak Prime Minister was shot. This escalation of violence requires us, Tusványos, to demonstrate against this, to protest against this,” the ruling party politician stated.

According to Zsolt Németh, a majority has been established in the European Parliament that violates parliamentary rules, making it impossible for the third strongest faction – of which Fidesz is also a member – to occupy its committee positions.

We must stand up for cooperation, collaboration and dialogue. This is what Tusványos is about, we want to build such a country, such a Europe, where different ways of thinking and political approaches can coexist. There can be no normal politics without critical thinking

Zsolt Németh emphasized, adding that he is glad that opposition politicians are here. The chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee later also noted, “by definition, we are not on the left track, we have never been on the left track here in Tusványos”.

Zsolt Németh said about the creation of the Patriots party family that there is a right-wing advance, a path has been created, and that the movement of this path in the next period is one of their most important tasks.
