The dreams of the heroes of 1848 must not be allowed to be lost, Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister, said in Dunakeszi, near Budapest, on Saturday, adding that Hungarians today still had to fight for “peace, freedom and accord, even if that struggle often seems colossal”.
Marking the March 15 national holiday, Szijjártó said that because Hungarians felt and were responsible for their country, it was only fair if they alone got to decide “what this country should look like and who should live here”.
“And this is a prerequisit we will never give up under any circumstances, and this is exactly what the heroes of 1848 believed, and it’s exactly what we believe 177 years later,” he said. Hungarians, he said, owed it to the heroes of 1848 “that today we can live their dream”. “Our task is not to let their dreams go lost,” he said. “So we, too, have to fight for the same goals: peace, freedom and accord.”

“We must also fight for our freedom”, Szijjártó believes
“And even if this struggle often seems laborious or colossal or even seems like a hopeless and impossible mission seeing how we’re outnumbered, we must never give up,” the minister added. Szijjártó said Hungarians must fight to restore peace to central Europe and ensure that “the many years of senseless killing ends, and that no one hinders the peace process”.
“And we must also fight for our freedom, so that we can decide our own fate, and we must fight for accord so that millennia-old truths are not questioned,” he said.
