Hungarian Leaders Attend Double Canonisation

Budapest, April 27 (MTI) – A Hungarian delegation led by President Janos Ader was present at the canonisation of Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II at a mass in Rome today.

Ader, together with other heads of state, exchanged a few words with Pope Francis after the celebration of the mass.

Hungary’s government was represented in the delegation by Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjen. Prime Minister Viktor Orban travelled to Rome in an unofficial capacity, as a pilgrim.
