The government of Hungary has said it aims to make the country a hub for and supporter of organisations tackling Christian persecution worldwide.
In an address to a conference in Budapest attended by Christian advocacy groups, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Ministry for Human Resources, Bence Rétvári, pointed out that Hungary was the first nation to set up a government office dedicated to helping Christians who suffer for their faith, at a time when the European Union had not offered a unified response to this crisis in the Middle East. Secretary Rétvári said the need for concrete action comes as “more Christians are being persecuted today throughout the world than during the reign of Roman Emperor Nero”.
Hungary is now planning an exhibition which will travel Europe to highlight both the persecution of Christians and Hungary’s own call for unity.
