HUNGARY IS NOT THE BLACK SHEEP EVERYWHERE
Just a little over one week ago,
CitizenGO achieved a great victory at the United Nations! And we could not have
accomplished it without your help...
On Friday, December 5, CitizenGO joined
Hungary at the United Nations to sponsor the Political Network for Values'
Transatlantic Summit on the role of the family in sustainable global development!
Mr. Zoltan Balog, the Hungarian
Minister for Human Capacities, told participants that "family is the most
important national resource of Hungary.” He said that the Hungarian constitution
is committed to marriage between one man and one woman, since it is the best
structure for children.
Mr. Balog also told the Summit that
Hungary is working to defend the personhood of all human beings, from the moment
of conception. He quoted from the new Hungarian constitution, which says: "Human
dignity shall be inviolable. The foetus shall be protected from the moment of
conception."
This was a major international victory,
as we were able to join Hungary in bringing together so many policy-makers who
support family and life! It was a breath-taking success! Let's thank the
Hungarian ambassador for his leadership for the family at the United Nations:

More than 60 parliamentarians from 20
countries in Africa, South America, North America, and Europe came together to
sign the "Declaration on the Rights of the Family," which affirms that "family
is the natural and fundamental unit of society” and that "everyone has the
inherent right to life, commencing from the moment of conception until natural
death.”
Hungary's support for marriage and
personhood was vital! In fact, they delivered the Declaration to the U.N.
Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon!
We must encourage our allies to
continue to stand for life and marriage in international institutions like the
United Nations. It happens rarely, and we want to see more pro-life, pro-family
leaders take a stand!
Will you join CitizenGO in extending a
warm thanks to the Hungarian Mission to the United Nations? Their stand for the
family deserves to be recognized.
