Hun­gary marks March 15 nation­al holiday

“One generation’s courage and abil­i­ty to hold its own is what gives strength to the next gen­er­a­tion. Today, the sit­u­a­tion is the same,” the prime min­is­ter said.

In a video mes­sage mark­ing Hungary’s March 15 nation­al hol­i­day, Prime Min­is­ter Vik­tor Orbán said one generation’s courage and abil­i­ty to hold its own is what gives strength to the next generation.

PM Orbán said March 15 is not just a day of remem­brance, but also one to be thank­ful. “It was not just the Hun­gar­i­ans of 1848 – 49 who held their own, but we also drew strength from their courage in 1956 and lat­er in 1989 – 90,” he said. “This is how the nation is built,” PM Orbán said.

“One generation’s courage and abil­i­ty to hold its own is what gives strength to the next gen­er­a­tion. Today, the sit­u­a­tion is the same,” the prime min­is­ter said. “Not only do we have to save lives and con­tain the pan­dem­ic, but we also have to set an exam­ple for our chil­dren and grand­chil­dren through our suc­cess­ful man­age­ment of the pan­dem­ic and our courage to hold our own, so that if they find them­selves in trou­ble, they have some­thing to look back on….”

Mean­while, in a let­ter to Hun­gar­i­ans, the prime min­is­ter said the rev­o­lu­tion sends the mes­sage that “the pow­er to improve our lives is always in the hands of those who are able, will­ing and coura­geous enough to lift up the Hun­gar­i­an nation.”
