Youth, education and culture are of strategic importance for Europe’s future. The portfolios intended for the new Hungarian commissioner by Jean-Claude Juncker are about the future, the Government therefore considers the nomination of Tibor Navracsics for this position to be a remarkable success.

High youth unemployment rate and issues of efficiency in education are among the gravest problems of the whole of Europe. Europe’s future depends on whether it is able to provide jobs and competitive knowledge for young people while preserving European cultural values. Owing to his experience in public life, his capacity of work and European commitment, Tibor Navracsics is the right politician to tackle decisive challenges of Europe’s future with success.
