Hungary has helped more than two million persecuted Christians through a government-funded aid scheme, according to a prominent Hungarian politician.
Tristan Azbej, the State Secretary for the Aid of Persecuted Christians, a position within Hungary’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, announced that the aid was administered through the Hungary Helps programme, launched in 2017.
He made the announcementduring a recent visit to the United States, where he also met with leaders from various Christian diaspora groups from Eastern Europe during visits in Chicago and other Midwestern areas. He also met with Chaldean Catholics from Iraq, who expressed gratitude for Hungary’s efforts in reconstructing a Chaldean Catholic settlement on the Nineveh Plains.
