Hankó: Brussels wants to erase our Judeo-Christian culture

Minister Hankó said those who were fighting for their nation and justice would never waver, adding that "this is how we patriots are."

Balázs Hankó, the minister for culture and innovation, said Brussels "wants to erase Europe’s roots, our Judeo-Christian culture".

In a speech at the CPAC Hungary 2025 conference in Budapest on Friday, the minister said Hungarian culture provides a national identity that transcends borders, and higher and vocational education guarantee knowledge, work and "a mission in service of our communities". He added that science and innovation were "what determines our sovereignty", and families were the future.

"It is these cornerstones of our Christian national identity that Brussels is attacking and wants to distort," Minister Hankó said, adding that Brussels wanted to "make the discriminatory world of abnormality dominant over normality and order".

Minister Hankó said this was the explanation for Brussels’s exclusion of university students and researchers who pushed back against its influence from international cooperation programs, and this was why Hungary was being punished for banning "gender propaganda" from schools.
