On top of it, we suffer from the sad picture of empty cradles, and we’re facing a serious demographic crisis in our Western world.

Open days at Sándor Palace
A year ago, at my inauguration, I promised to „open doors” for Hungary in the international arena, as well as at home, between Hungarians.
This is also why on the anniversary, Sándor Palace welcomed those interested with open gates. Thus, thousands have seen the palace this year as well.
I thank all those who came to visit, young and old, residents of the countryside and the capital, supporters of the opposition or the government, people from all walks of life.
This day proved again that Sándor Palace is open to all.
Ordering the promulgation of a law
Last week, the Parliament adopted, without dissenting votes, the law amending certain laws on justice related to the Hungarian Recovery and Resilience Plan.
I have some reservations about the law, but at this stage I do not want to put obstacles in the way of the Government's agreement with the European Commission.
I have therefore ordered its promulgation today.
My presidency is about the Hungarian people
My presidency is about the Hungarian people, and I would like them to feel that I am working as the President of all Hungarians.
