The country\u2019s ruling party voted for her while most of those in the opposing party voted against her, according to the publication.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKatalin Nov\u00e1k has been a significant champion for families and the thriving of all Hungarians,\u201d Institute for Women President Valerie Huber said in a Thursday statement. \u201cThe family is the backbone of every healthy society, and is critical to the health and thriving of women, men, and children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe look forward to her victory signaling Hungary\u2019s continued commitment to the principles of the Geneva Consensus Declaration,\u201d added Huber. \u201cAs minister, she implemented family-friendly incentives and family protections, but she also stood as a courageous woman in the defense of every Hungarian through thriving families. I am convinced she will do the same as Hungary\u2019s first woman president!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hungary\u2019s pro-family policies have been painted as \u201cfar-right\u201d by both Western media and left-wing Hungarian media. In 2019, the new president <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncregister.com\/news\/hungary-family-minister-supporting-the-family-is-not-nazism\">told the National Catholic Register<\/a> that \u201cin many cases, everything is considered \u2018far right; that is to the right of a given position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs it far right and extremist to support families, just because of this? The question itself is misleading,\u201d she said. \u201cIn our eyes, the radicals are those who believe that immigration should be the only path to choose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not normal, for example, to compare family support to Nazism \u2014\u00a0as one Swedish minister has done,\u201d she added. \u201cOur main aim is to provide opportunities and to make it possible for young Hungarians to freely decide about their lives. Is this far right?\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">So help me God! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BXw5CrJ7Fs\">pic.twitter.com\/BXw5CrJ7Fs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Katalin Nov\u00e1k (@KatalinNovakMP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KatalinNovakMP\/status\/1501887811473051653?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 10, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In her introductory speech, Novak called Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine a \u201cdestructive virus\u201d and \u201cindefensible and inexplicable\u201d and promised to work for unity, according to Hungary Today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHungarians want peace and women want to win peace not war, because in peace we can build, prosper, and smile at each other,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Novak, who is the mother of three, discussed her lifelong alliance with her husband and said that \u201chaving children was one of the most important decisions of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new president of Hungary also thanked\u00a0Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n for permitting her to be part of \u201cthe nation-building process,\u201d adding, \u201cI am ready for this task, I am all prepared.

It\u2019s also mathematics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I think the importance is that you have this pro-family attitudes or mindset be reflective in each and every field of our lives and not just the traditional ones,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>During those same conversations with reporters, Novak <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/10\/06\/hungary-budapest-katalin-novak-environmentalist-children\/\">also laughed off the idea<\/a>\u00a0that someone who wishes to save the planet must abstain from having children, calling such a sentiment \u201ccrazy\u201d and noting that such ideas were not common in Hungary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just say that it\u2019s stupid,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cThat is an advantage of our politics, we speak frankly, we are outspoken.
