Orbán greets Hungarian communities on the national holiday
Change language:
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has greeted Hungarians around the world in a letter on the occasion of the anniversary of the 1848/49 revolution and freedom fight.
“Let there be peace, liberty and concord,” the prime minister wrote, quoting 19th century Hungarian writer Mór Jókai. “And to this day it is these words that express what we Hungarians desire,” he wrote.
“We want peace in our immediate surroundings and the broader world, the liberty of self-determination to shape our own life, and concord in our national affairs so that we can build a secure future for ourselves together with the peoples living with us in the Carpathian Basin,” the prime minister wrote.
“As the spiritual heirs of 1848 it is together that we stand up for and offer a helping hand to our Transcarpathian brothers and sisters who are in need and fleeing from war,”
Orbán wrote. “We express our solidarity with the Ukrainian people together and defend our culture, way of life and the achievements related to policies for ethnic Hungarians together.”
