On the behalf of the National Assembly the participants were addressed by MP Elvira Kovacs. She told them to be persistent and determined in their wish to be included in social trends not only as observers, but through their decision-making power as well. Speaking on the behalf of her colleagues the MP said that politicians need to listen to young people more closely because only a two-way communication and reciprocal understanding can give results.
“I personally believe that we can achieve more together than individually”, stressed Kovacs.
