The President of The Heritage Foundation, Kevin Roberts, visited us shortly after the Otto Dinner of 2022, where we invited the organisation’s founding President, Ed Feulner, to be the guest of honor. This time, he was accompanied by Vice President James Carafano and foreign policy expert Erin Walsh, a senior fellow to several Republican presidents. Our American friends are aware of the valuable intellectual resource and political support they gained from their connection to Otto von Habsburg during the preparation of the Reagan administration in the 1970s. It is no coincidence that during his recent stay in Budapest, the current President met with Judit Varga, Minister of Justice in our Foundation’s office. The exchange of ideas covered the possibility of political representation of traditional conservative values in Europe and overseas. We also discussed the prospect of displaying our exhibition on the life of Otto von Habsburg in Washington in remembrance of the vigorous political activity of our namesake throughout his emigration to the United States during World War II.
