Culture minister: Joint European heritage a source of identity

Written by BT/MTI

A joint European heritage is the source of identity and a token of the future, the culture and innovation minister said in Visegrad, in northern Hungary, on Wednesday, adding: “We will hail our Christian traditions even if Europe should forget about its roots.”

Balazs Hanko said at the opening of the Cultural Routes annual professional forum of the Council of Europe that Hungary had enshrined the importance of Christianity and traditions in its Fundamental Law, “but that in itself is not enough: we need living, strong Christian communities to keep those traditions alive.”
