Hungarians’ Self Respect Should Be Boosted, Says President

Áder said he was looking to acknowledge extraordinary effort, and mentioned his recent visit to Debrecen, eastern Hungary, where he met the medical team that was fighting for 92 days to save the baby of a brain-dead mother.
Áder said his office will review recent new legislation until the holidays and decide if any of them should be sent back to parliament for reconsideration. He noted that so far parliament had always made modifications to laws that he sent back, so most of his recommendations had been accepted by lawmakers.
The country’s international reputation had changed significantly in the past period, he told the radio. The OECD as well as the European Commission have recently published reports on the economy and their projections for next year are similar to those of the Hungarian government’s.
These eliminate an unnecessary debate from the common talks, Áder said. Hungary will fulfil its NATO commitments, its role in Afghanistan and will try not to be “the sick child of Europe”, causing headaches similar to those caused by Greece.
