President Novák: ‘There is no alternative to peace’

There is no alternative to peace, President Katalin Novák said in her address to the 78th session of the United Nations’ General Assembly in New York on Tuesday.

“This war also directly affects us Hungarians. It is not just in our neighbourhood. Hungarian fathers and sons living in Ukraine are also giving their lives in the trenches,” she said.

In connection with the demographic challenges facing the world, Novák said that “if there is no child, there will be no future. What is the point of looking after the Earth if we don’t have children and grandchildren to pass it on to?”.

“We, Hungarians see the solution to the demographic crisis in strengthening and supporting families,” the president said some 15 minutes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s address to the General Assembly.
