President calls for love, humility in New Year address

Budapest, January 1 (MTI) – President Janos Ader focused on the importance of “love, empathy, assistance, goodwill, and humility” in his televised address broadcast in the first minutes of 2016.

“Let love be our compass,” the president said, and wished peace to Europe and the world, success to Hungary, and a “very happy New Year” to its people.

In his address, Ader advised that New Year’s wishes should be complete with “compassion for people in trouble, readiness to help the poor or the disabled, assistance to people who cannot find their way in the world and a humble attitude towards our natural environment”.
