Budapest: Hungary’s first-ever female President Katalin Novak gave a message of hope and unity following her inauguration. “In addition to the responses given to pandemics, security threats and economic challenges, I am hopeful that we shall still have strength for further constructions in the future,” she said in front of Parliament building on Saturday.
Novak vowed to stand above party lines during her upcoming years in office. “My task is to find the places where Hungarians belong together. I will look for and show the things in our lives that are beyond the natural opposition of party politics,” she said. The ceremony started with military honours.
