Presidential visit to Fejér county with Sándor Palace in remote office

On the first day of her two-day visit to Fejér County, President Katalin Novák met with county leaders after the raising of the national flag in Fehérvárcsurgó. The President emphasized that when Sándor Palace operates in remote office, she carries out her duties as Head of State in the county which she is visiting. Fejér County is the sixth in line in the series of visits to the counties. My aim is to get to know the challenges, the problems and the pride of the people of the region in person, said the Head of State. 

The President received information about future issues and problems to be addressed, as well as development projects of particular importance to the county, during a closed-door meeting with county leaders.
After Fehérvárcsurgó, the Head of State travelled to Mór, where she first met with students at the school of Nobel laureate Ferenc Krausz and then with the scientist's parents. 

In Sukoró, the President laid a wreath in the Reformed church in memory of the victorious Battle of Pákozd.
Following a family visit in Agárd, Katalin Novák visited Videoton Holding Zrt. The company, with a history of over eighty years but operating with state-of-the-art technology, is a true family-friendly workplace. Based in Székesfehérvár, Videoton is one of the largest fully Hungarian-owned corporate groups, employing over 9000 people.

Afterwards, Katalin Novák visited the Ice Hockey Academy named after Gábor Ocskay Jr., the emblematic sports venue of Székesfehérvár, where she received a brief hockey lesson from the players of Fehérvár AV19.
As the first day came to an end, as part of the "Sándor Palace Talks" event series, Katalin Novák engaged in a discussion with Katalin Bogyay, Hungary’s former ambassador to the UN, about the importance of women's roles in politics and society.

In addition to discussing women's peace-making abilities in times of war, they also talked about how the President of Hungary, as female Head of State, is working to bring women leaders together. Katalin Novák announced that she has invited all the female heads of state from around the world to gather in Budapest next autumn.

"Though our worldviews and religions may differ, we have a lot in common, and we can inspire hope in other women that there is no insurmountable obstacle, no unbreakable glass ceiling," said Katalin Novák, adding that she aims to make these presidential meetings a regular occurrence.

The President emphasized that one should not be afraid of starting a family, as challenging as it may be, as it is an achievable task. She believes that parenthood and career can coexist. She highlighted that she supports both full-time motherhood and the desire of those who want to pursue their careers while raising several children.
On the next day of her visit to Fejér County, as part of the Sándor Palace in Remote Office Days, the President bestowed seven appointments and promotions to the rank of general on military, police, and finance officers in Fehérvárcsurgó.

Katalin Novák also visited Dunaújváros. Dunaferr is Hungary's sole steelworks, which provides employment for over 4000 people. The President believes that after difficult years, the future is now more predictable in the steel mill.

In Sárkeresztúr, at the Hangyák (Ants) Social Cooperative, the President tried her hand at pepper crushing and engaged in a conversation with local Gypsy women. These women see employment and the education of their children as a way out of poverty. The persistent efforts of the village mayor have already yielded visible and tangible results in one of the most challenging communities in the county.  

In Lajoskomárom, at the Agape Charity Home operated by the Lutheran Church, the President met with the residents and the staff, and had a conversation with a couple, Uncle Pali Stiedl and his wife, Aunt Inci, who have been married for 68 years.
