Balázs Hankó, the minister of culture and innovation, said on Saturday: "We Hungarians belong together, here in the heart of Europe, in the Carpathian Basin."
Minister Hankó took part in a pilgrimage between Săcueni (Székelyhíd), in north-western Romania, and Almosd, led by Franciscan monk Csaba Böjte, which, by crossing the Romanian-Hungarian border, was intended to symbolize the unity of the Hungarian nation.
The minister gave a welcoming speech for the pilgrimage at the "Love Trail", which commemorates the love of poet Sandor Petofi and Julia Szendrey.
Minister Hankó said that from love comes family, from family children, and from children a future. "And from the many Hungarian families, a nation that will last forever will emerge, because this is our mission."
