Fidesz youth arm Fidelitas marks 20th anniversary

Budapest (MTI) – Fidelitas, the youth arm of the ruling Fidesz party, marked their twentieth anniversary, at an event in Budapest on Saturday evening.

Young people must be addressed with the right language so that they can be “lured out” from the “ivory tower of political apathy”, cabinet chief Antal Rogan said at the event. He told those in attendance that it would be their mission to get young people engaged in politics.

There are no “lost generations”, only “quieter and louder ones”, Rogán said, quoting Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

It is natural for a generation to “feel lost” as it seeks its way, but every generation has a mission, Rogán said. He said Hungary had to stay on the path on which it had set out in 2010.

He warned those in attendance not to “believe for a second” that Hungary could ever have a “good left-wing government”.

On the topic of Europe’s migrant crisis, the cabinet chief said it was merely a precursor to a much larger crisis.
