00:00:01    Very little is known about your so-called civilian life. Maybe just that you are a historian and
00:00:06    the director general of the Semmelweis Medical History Museum.
00:00:09    You writes books and publishes books. Please complete this picture.
00:00:15    - I think the private life of a politician or a man on a political path is not the most important part
00:00:23    of his life, and that is why it is not
00:00:28    paramount to talk or know about it a lot.
00:00:35    You have to measure your performance on something else. - A lot of people in this country
00:00:40    are anxious that their expertise does not meet European requirements.
00:00:45    We don't speak languages, and I could tell you more. Does the Democratic Forum
00:00:49    manifesto think about them? - I believe that in Hungary there is a solid basis,
00:00:55    there is a broad enough knowledge and cultural background to rely on
00:01:01    and the Hungarian people, have given so many talents working abroad as well
00:01:07    and we have suchs good reputation in science and expert knowledgee that Hungarians should'nt be
00:01:13    anxious about this. - The Democratic Forum wishes to be
00:01:18    the movement of the entire Hungarian nation regardless of nationality. This idea was written six months ago,
00:01:23    but in the light of the events in Romania, it is given now special importance.
00:01:28    What do you think of that now? - Not just in the last six months,
00:01:33    this questions has been one of our main objectives since the birth of
00:01:39    our movement, and we must keep the issue of Hungarians beyond
00:01:45    our borders in focus. This is not nationalism,
00:01:50    it is simply our fundamental national duty who else would
00:01:55    speak out for them if not us. In the life of a nation in which
00:02:02    one in three members livess beyond the borders, I think it's natural and every
00:02:06    other nation would do the same.
