In a Facebook post, Azbej expressed his enthusiasm about joining the think tank, describing the organization’s mission as the “spiritual home” he had been searching for in his socio-political journey.

KÖK – Christian heritage and initiatives: this is the socio-political concept for which I have been looking for a long time its spiritual home, and I have just found it. I had the honor that the CDI – Christian Democratic Institute invited me to work together, which I did with pleasure.

The Christian Democratic Institute represents a growing movement aimed at strengthening Christian values in European public discourse. According to Azbej, the organization is dedicated to ensuring that Christian principles maintain “a strong and visible place in the public life of Europe and around the world.”

About the Hungary Helps Program
The Hungary Helps Program, under Azbej’s leadership, has been instrumental in providing aid to persecuted Christians worldwide, representing Hungary’s commitment to protecting religious minorities in conflict zones.

Azbej’s appointment comes at a crucial time for European politics, as Christian democratic movements seek to reassert their influence across the continent. His experience in international humanitarian work and religious freedom advocacy positions him as a valuable addition to the CDI’s leadership structure.

The State Secretary emphasized his philosophical conviction that sustainable peace and security can only be achieved through Christian democratic foundations. “I am convinced that peace, security, and community can only be built on the foundations of Christian democracy,” he stated in his announcement.

I am glad that I can take part in this work from now on.

This development signals Hungary’s continued commitment to promoting Christian values on the international stage, building on the country’s existing initiatives to support persecuted religious communities globally.

The CDI’s expanding influence, now bolstered by Azbej’s expertise, is expected to play an increasingly important role in shaping European policy discussions around religious freedom, traditional values, and Christian heritage preservation.
