Hungary’s first female president is a key architect of the country’s pro-family policies

Remix: The Hungarian parliament has voted to elect Katalin Novák as the country’s new president, with her new tenure marking the first female head of state the country has had since becoming a democracy in 1989.

Novák, the former minister for family affairs, was nominated by the ruling party, Fidesz and is set to replace János Áder, a quiet, yet, according to many, less charismatic president, who has spent his time in office championing environmental issues.

Novák had received 137 of the valid votes, her opponent, Péter Róna, nominated by the opposition parties, was able to muster only 51 votes.

The success of the ruling party candidate had surprised few, not only because her conservative supporters have a two-thirds majority in the Hungarian parliament, but also because her opponent, Róna, was the typical liberal intellectual inclined to hate his own homeland and who throughout his career is known for failing to ever utter a good word about Hungary or Hungarians in general. The Oxford educated academic once remarked that “I have come to the painful conclusion that this (Hungary) is not my homeland. Simply put, I do not belong here.” more here

  1. …seems like people in “Hungary” should be thinner.

    Just saying.

    …also, chicks are usually TERRIBLE leaders.

    Not saying GUYS can’t be terrible leaders, but female lef governments are usually break Socialist/Communist because they are WAY too interested in the State being a provider in place of a male, are typically too gentle with enemies and criminals, and too harsh on the law-abiding citizens, and get MUCH too vindictive when they get challenged.

    I hope she proves me wrong.

    But if she does, she’d be the first…
