Camps, study visits for Hungarians living in W Europe to continue!

The Hungarian government will continue its cooperation with Hungarian organisations in western Europe in 2022, dedicated as the Year of Acting Nation, the state secretary in charge of policies for Hungarian communities abroad in the Prime Minister’s Office said in Basel on Saturday.

Árpád János Potápi told MTI by phone that he had addressed the general assembly of the Western European Association of Hungarian Country Organisations (NYEOMSZSZ), an umbrella organisation with 17 members.

Potápi thanked the leaders of Hungarian organisations in the Carpathian Basin and elsewhere in the world for their active work in encouraging voters to cast their ballots in Hungary’s April 3 parliamentary election. “As a result, a record number of 318,083 Hungarians voted by mail, 50,000 more than in the previous ballot in 2018,” he said. Potápi welcomed that

close to 94 percent of them supported “the continuation of the Fidesz-Christian Democrat ruling alliance’s nation building policy”.
