The Struggle to Change our Fate has Started

23 October 2009

Fidesz celebrated the 53rd anniversary of the 1956 revolution in Nagytétény, where a newly rebuilt national flag destroyed in 1948 was consecrated on 23 October. Viktor Orbán said that the flag symbolized the beginning of a struggle to change the fate of Hungary.

The real difficulty of this struggle is not how to win the next elections, but how to rebuild Hungary. The revolutionaries of ’56 tried to re-build the country, not destroy it. “Since 1956 though, Hungary has been stuck with a good many who believe one can be against the people, against the nation, and govern with no regard for human beings,” Orbán said. It is not too late, he told the crowd, “to rebuild what others have destroyed.”

Orbán also condemned extremism, be it either on the left or right, as extremism only turns people against each other.

“We have to show the world that Hungary’s true voice is that of common sense and not of extremisms, dictatorship, money or hatred”, said the Fidesz leader. “I too would like to see a new government fulfilling its goals based on the fundamental values of 1956”, he added.
