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.

- 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.
