Judit Varga: Christianity is the largest and most persecuted religion in the world
Christianity is the world’s largest, most influential, and at the same time the most persecuted religion, and the exhibition “In the Crossfire” that opened on Monday night in London – which presents the situation of Christians exposed to persecution – carries a very strong message of standing in favor of Christianity, he told the European Affairs Committee of the Parliament at the event its president.
Speaking to the public media at the venue of the exhibition, at the Hungarian House in London, Judit Varga stated that when Hungary represents a migration policy in the European Union that is concerned about the future of Europe, the program called Hungary Helps is part of it.
“We are not just talking into thin air when we say that the root causes of migration must be dealt with, and that problems and conflicts must not be brought to Europe,” declared the committee president.
Christianity faces not only physical threats all over the world, but also political pressure and challenges, and mass and uncontrolled immigration also means a cultural and terrorist threat, said Judit Varga.
He emphasized: the exhibition that opened in London on Monday night also highlights the responsibility of politicians. In addition to concrete help, there is also a great need for political engagement and advocacy, as the mainstream political trends try to suppress the voice of Christians.
In the next European Parliament elections, “we have one task: to bravely stand up for our values and show that there is a working alternative, the defense of the European way of life is at stake. If we lose our Christianity, we lose ourselves,” said Judit Varga.
At the opening of the exhibition in London, the chairman of the committee gave a speech in which he said: we must not forget that Christianity, Christian heritage and tradition are the common denominator in Europe, which enables wider cooperation between nation states.
Judit Varga added: Hungary is one of the few European nations that had the courage to include their Christian identity in their constitution and basic law.
He added: in the current period, when Western civilization is forced to face a serious demographic crisis, Hungary trusts in the institution of the family instead of mass and uncontrolled immigration.
