LETTER FROM THE PRIME MINISTER OF HUNGARY

”I find it a great honour to have been invited to be an honorary member of the Foundation. I feel so for two reasons. On the one hand because in such a way, I can express my appreciation and belated thanks for everything Raoul Wallenberg did for my Hungarian compatriots a generations ago.”

”So, I say ”YES” to your invitation with genuine enthusiasm, and I wish to assure you that I will do my best as Prime Minister of the Republic of Hungary, as well as a politician and father to make sure that the principles and values of humanism represented by the Raoul Wallenberg Foundation and demonstrated by the Swedish diplomat who had been chosen the Righteous of the World prevail in my country, in Europe, as well as all over the world.”
