Opening the new, permanent exhibition of the Museum of Ethnography, the prime minister said on Thursday that “in the current situation in Europe, we Hungarians can survive only if we live our culture and traditions.”

Viktor Orbán said that if a nation lost its folk culture, it would also lose its ability “to judge what is good and what is bad” and “get confused to know what hurts it and what benefits it.”

“Then come the ambiguous ideals, truths turned inside out, and absurd suggestions that the family is not a cohabitation of a man and a woman, but an endless variation of spontaneous configurations. Suggestions that diversity represents value, even if it fuels crime and terrorism, or the thinking that in order to live in peace, we must continue a hopeless war,” he said.

“Let’s thank to God that things here [in Hungary] are at their right place, common sense is prevalent and order stemming from folk culture also infiltrates our daily life,” the prime minister said.
