Hungary, Ambassador of the Family  Meeting of the President with the Hungarian Secretary of State for the Family, Miklós Soltész
 The Secretary of State for the Family and fro Social Relations of the Ministry of Human Resources of the Republic of Hungary, Miklós Soltész, on an official visit to Rome, will meet the President of the Pontifical Council for the Family, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, at the Dicastery on Friday, June 14th, for an exchange on government policies for the protection of life and the family. This meeting has been promoted by the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Hungary to the Holy See, Gábor Győriványi. On the occasion of Mr. Győriványi’s accreditation in 2010, Benedict XVI expressed his praise for «renewal of diplomatic relations between the Holy See and the Republic of Hungary», thanks to which «it has been possible to develop new trust in an active and constructive dialogue with the Catholic Church». «Hungary is called upon in a special way to mediate between East and West», the Pope Emeritus said on that occasion. And after continued: «Marriage and the family constitute a decisive foundation for the healthy development of civil society, countries and peoples. Marriage as a basic form of ordering the relationship between a man and a woman and, at the same time, as a founding cell of the State community, has continued to be modelled on Biblical faith. In this way, marriage has given Europe its particular aspect and its humanism, also and precisely because it has meant continuously learning and achieving the characteristic of fidelity and self-denial that this implies. Europe would no longer be Europe if this basic cell of the social fabric were to disappear or to be substantially transformed».
