Viktor Orban recalled that Ferenc Sebo, a prominent Hungarian folklorist and musician, said that Hungarian culture can only survive if we live it. In his speech, the Hungarian prime minister praised the opening of an exhibition that presents the traditions and wholesome everyday life of Hungarians. 

In today's constantly changing world, we need to consider which change is important and which is not. When a nation loses its folk culture, it loses the ability to judge what is good and what is bad,

he underlined.

This is when confused ideas and absurd reasoning come into play, such as the idea that a family is not made up of a man and a woman, the prime minister pointed out.

The debate in Strasbourg has also revealed the gravity of the situation. Let us thank God that we still have things in their proper place, that common sense still works and that the order that has seeped into our lives today from popular culture is still in place. This is what we have strengthened with this world-class exhibition,

PM Orban highlighted.
