Conference of Centrist Democrat International held in Budapest

Christian culture is a treasure and it needs to be preserved, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Friday at the conference of Centrist Democrat International (CDI) in Budapest, an international political group dedicated to the promotion of Christian Democrat values.

CDI is an organisation of Christian origin which considers human dignity the basis of politics, Orbán told a press conference. This is important because the search for identity is in the centre of political debate everywhere in the world, especially in Europe where migration has further intensified the issue, he added.

The meeting in Budapest decided to set up the youth arm of CDI, parties from the Caucasus moved closer to the organisation, new members were accepted from Latin America and central Europe and the majority of Hungarian parties from the region joined as members, Orbán said.
