György Hölvényi highlighted the Hungary Helps program as an “exemplary” scheme aimed to “build hospitals, clinics and health infrastructure to ease the everyday lives of those suffering.”
György Hölvényi, an MEP of the co-ruling Christian Democrats, said the Russia-Ukraine war is a “shame on Christianity, because Christians are killing Christians.”
In an interview with gondola.hu on Wednesday, Hölvényi noted the “peacekeeping, conflict managing and peace making opportunity and commitment” of churches, and said church leaders could play a key role when it came to peace making and reconstruction.
On another subject, Hölvényi said the Patriots for Europe group’s recently established working group for religious freedoms and for a dialogue with churches and religious communities was crucial in raising consciousness about the magnitude of the persecution of Christians in the world. “Many MEPs are not aware of the situation of Christians and the level of persecution,” he said. “If somebody is killed in Iraq or the Sudan, Europe has to do something because they rely on us a continent with a Christian culture, for help,” Holvenyi said.
The MEP highlighted the Hungary Helps program as an “exemplary” scheme aimed to “build hospitals, clinics and health infrastructure to ease the everyday lives of those suffering.”
On the subject of the EU’s migration pact, Hölvényi said the document was “practically equal to legalising migration” and argued that under the pact it was “near-impossible” to return migrants to their own countries, and called for an effective tool for expulsion.
